Terdapat 13 caregiver dan 1 orang Perawat di Panti tersebut. Rata-rata caregiver telah bekerja di tempat tersebut minimal 3 tahun, sehingga memiliki banyak pengalaman dalam merawat lansia mulai dari membantu lansia beradaptasi saat datang ke panti sampai dengan mendampingi saat menjelang ajal. Studi pendahuluan yang telah dilaksanakan di bulan Juni 2024 didapatkan data bahwa semua tindakan perawatan yang diberikan kepada lansia didapatkan secara otodidak atau belajar kepada caregiver yang lebih senior. Permasalahan utamanya adalah caregiver belum pernah mendapatkan edukasi dan pelatihan mengenai cara pendampingan menjelang ajal. Berdasarkan fenomena ini pelaksana pengabdian kepada Masyarakat berencana untuk memberdayakan caregiver dengan tujuan dapat mendampingi lansia menjelang ajal degan cara mengusahakan lansia terbebas dari rasa sakit/nyeri, membuat lansia merasa nyaman/damai, terhormat dan dekat dengan orang yang disayang (Peaceful end of life) dengan metode Edukasi. Kegiatan ini telah dilaksanakan selama 3x pertemuan pada tanggal 21 November, 2 dan 5 Desember 2024 dengan jumlah peserta 11 orang di aula LKS LU Pangesti Lawang. Sebelum dan sesudah kegiatan pelatihan, dilakukan pre test (pertemuan pertama) dan post test (pertemuan ketiga). Soal pre dan post test berupa pengetahuan peserta mengenai pendampingan ajal lansia berjumlah 10 soal. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini dikatakan berhasil karena ada kenaikan dari pre dan post test. Rata-rata pre test adalah 5,09 dan post test adalah 8,54, dengan kenaikan sebesar 59,6%. Luaran dari kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah laporan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat, modul untuk caregiver; pendampingan lansia menjelang ajal.

There are 13 caregivers and 1 nurse at the home. On average, caregivers have worked there for at least 3 years, so they have a lot of experience in caring for the elderly, from helping the elderly adapt when they come to the institution to accompanying them when they are nearing death. A preliminary study carried out in June 2024 showed that all care actions given to the elderly were self-taught or learned from more senior caregivers. The main problem is that caregivers have never received education and training regarding how to accompany the dying. Based on this phenomenon, community service implementers plan to empower caregivers with the aim of being able to accompany the elderly as they approach death by ensuring that the elderly are free from pain, making the elderly feel comfortable/peaceful, respected and close to their loved ones (Peaceful end of life) using the education method. This activity was carried out during 3 meetings on November 21, December 2 and 5 2024 with 11 participants in the LKS LU Pangesti Lawang hall. Before and after the training activities, a pre-test (first meeting) and post-test (third meeting) were carried out. The pre and post test questions consisted of participants' knowledge regarding assisting the elderly in death, totaling 10 questions. This community service activity was said to be successful because there was an increase in the pre and post tests. The average pre test was 5.09 and post test was 8.54, with an increase of 59.6%. The output of this community service activity is a report on community service activities, a module for caregivers; assisting the elderly when they are dying. The implication of this community service activity is that elderly caregivers understand the care of elderly people who are dying. Keywords: caregiver; elderly; approaching death]]>
