Abstract

Aging is associated with a decline in the physical and cognitive functions of the human body, which also involves the possibility of age-related diseases. Reduced muscle strength and coordination of the lower extremities, accompanied by decreased gait assurance and balance control, are the results of physical deterioration in the aging body. In decreased physiological function, these disorders lead to a higher risk of falls in the elderly. Maintaining mobility is an effort that can be a preventive measure for falls through physical exercise, meeting nutritional needs, and regular health checks. This study aims to determine the effect of palliative care using a maintaining mobility approach to prevent the risk of falls in the elderly at PSTW Jember. This research design is a pre-experimental quantitative research design with a pretest-posttest group design approach with a total sample of 30 elderly people. This research uses analysis of the Wilcoxon statistical test. The research results showed that elderly people who were at risk of falling had a history of musculoskeletal disease of 33.3%, with a p-value of 0.0001. The implementation of maintaining mobility for the elderly can affect the Morse Fall Scale score. In conclusion, there is an effect of maintaining mobility interventions to reduce the risk of falls in the elderly at PSTW Jember.

Abstract

Introduction: Palliative care is needed for various diseases; stroke is one of the neurological diseases that requires palliative care. Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and decreased quality of life due to neurological deficits. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) assesses stroke severity. Stroke can also cause paralysis, resulting in decreased independence in self-care; patients will experience difficulty carrying out daily activities or activities of daily living (ADL) such as walking, dressing, eating, or controlling defecation or urination. Disability due to stroke can affect the patient's quality of life. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between stroke severity scale with palliative screening, activities of daily living impairment (ADL), and quality of life. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved sixty stroke patients selected by accidental sampling. The data were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment and Spearman Rank Test. Results: This study resulted in 53,3% of respondents suffering from a moderate stroke, 90,0% needing palliative intervention, 56,7% total dependency, and 66,7% can not assess quality of life. Significance level between stroke severity scale with palliative screening ware (p=0,000), ADL impairment (p=0,008), and quality of life (p=0,000). Conclusions: There was a relationship between the stroke severity scale and palliative screening, activities of daily living (ADL) impairment, and quality of life. Further research should simultaneously analyze the risk factors for stroke, the stroke severity scale, and things that are influenced by the severity of the stroke so that it can be seen which variable is more dominant.

Abstract

Introduction: Gout is a degenerative disease that often attacks joints, especially in older adults. This disease is caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, which causes inflammation and severe pain. One of the main indications that someone suffers from gout is if the results of measuring the uric acid level in the blood are more than 7.0 (mg/dL), whereas in women, it is more than 5.7 mg/dL. Objectives: Research to determine the effectiveness of A. Muricata leaf extract in reducing uric acid levels in older adults with hyperuricemia. Methods: Quantitative research, using a quasi-experimental type with Pre-test, Post-test design with control group design, with a sample size of 30 older adults, sampling technique using random sampling carried out for one week consuming one day three times. Results: The paired t-test showed a p-value of 0.0001, indicating a significant difference between the average uric acid levels before and after Annona muricata leaf extract administration. Soursop leaves contain flavonoid and tannin compounds, where flavonoids can inhibit the production of the enzyme xanthine oxidase. By inhibiting this enzyme, the process of forming hypoxanthine into xanthine is also hampered, thereby reducing excess uric acid production. Apart from reducing uric acid levels in the blood, soursop leaves can also reduce pain in people with gouty arthritis thanks to the tannin, resin and Agostini content, which can relieve pain and reduce swelling and pain. Conclusions: Administration of A. Muricata leaf extract has proven effective in reducing uric acid levels in older adults with hyperuricemia
