<![CDATA[Lansia yang berada pada tahap akhir kehidupan mengalami perubahan fisik, psikologis, sosial, dan spiritual yang kompleks sehingga memerlukan pendekatan perawatan yang holistik dan terintegrasi. Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) menjadi strategi penting dalam meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan lansia, termasuk melalui integrasi nilai-nilai keislaman dalam praktik asuhan. Meskipun layanan terpadu telah diterapkan, implementasi IPC yang terstruktur dan kolaboratif antara tenaga kesehatan dan nonkesehatan belum sepenuhnya optimal. Tujuan Penelitian: Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi pengalaman tenaga medis, kesehatan, dan nonkesehatan dalam penerapan IPC berbasis integrasi keislaman di Sentra Gau Mabaji Kab. Gowa. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain fenomenologi. Partisipan berjumlah sepuluh orang yang terdiri atas tenaga medis, kesehatan dan nonkesehatan, yang terlibat langsung dalam pelayanan lansia. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui focus group discussion (FGD) dan dianalisis menggunakan metode Colaizzi. Keabsahan data dijaga melalui triangulasi metode, sumber, peneliti, dan teori. Hasil: Ada tiga tema yang teridentifikasi: 1) pentingnya pemeriksaan kapasitas fisik sebagai dasar kebutuhan intervensi pada lansia, 2) kolaborasi interprofesional melalui kejelasan peran dan fungsi dalam pelayanan lansia, dan 3) penerapan IPC berbasis intervensi spiritual dan motivasi. Diskusi: Pentingnya pemahaman oleh masing-masing profesi tentang praktik kolaborasi berdasarkan tugas dan fungsinya menjadi kunci keberhasilan penerapan IPC serta intervensi spiritual dan motivasi akan memberikan perasaan bermakna bagi diri lansia. Kesimpulan: Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penerapan model IPC berbasis integrasi keislaman berkontribusi positif dalam mewujudkan pelayanan lansia yang holistik, bermakna, dan berpusat pada kebutuhan lansia. Penguatan kebijakan, pelatihan kolaboratif, dan sistem dokumentasi terintegrasi diperlukan untuk mengoptimalkan praktik IPC pada pelayanan lansia.Kata Kunci: integrasi, interprofessional kolaborasi, lansia, spiritual Experiences of Medical, Health, and Non-Health Personnel in Implementing Islamic Integration–Based Interprofessional Collaboration for Older AdultsABSTRACTOlder adults in the late stage of life experience complex physical, psychological, social, and spiritual changes that require a holistic and integrated approach to care. Interprofessional Collaboration (IPC) has become an important strategy to improve the quality of elderly care, including the integration of Islamic values in care practices. Although integrated services have been implemented, the structured and collaborative implementation of IPC among medical, health, and non-health personnel has not yet been fully optimized. Objective: This study explores the experiences of medical, health, and non-health personnel in implementing Islamic integration–based IPC at Sentra Gau Mabaji, Gowa Regency. Methods: This study used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. Ten participants were involved, consisting of medical, health, and non-health personnel who were directly engaged in elderly care services. Data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and analyzed using the Colaizzi method. Data credibility was maintained through triangulation of methods, sources, researchers, and theories. Results: Three main themes emerged from the analysis: (1) the importance of assessing physical capacity as the basis for determining intervention needs in older adults; (2) interprofessional collaboration through clear roles and responsibilities in elderly care services; and (3) the implementation of IPC through spiritual and motivational interventions. Discussion: A clear understanding among each profession regarding collaborative practice based on their respective roles and responsibilities is a key factor in the successful implementation of IPC. In addition, spiritual and motivational interventions provide older adults with a sense of meaning and psychological support. Conclusion: The findings indicate that the implementation of an Islamic integration–based IPC model contributes positively to the delivery of holistic, meaningful, and patient-centered care for older adults. Strengthening policies, collaborative training, and integrated documentation systems are necessary to optimize IPC practices in elderly care services.Keywords: integration, interprofessional collaboration, older adults, spiritual]]>
