Abstract

One of the major impacts of stroke is chronic motor deficits or hemiparesis, with approximately 80% of patients potentially experiencing permanent disability that leads to reduced independence in performing activities of daily living (ADL). Optimal rehabilitation is essential to prevent these long-term consequences. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of mirror therapy in improving motor function and ADL performance among post-stroke patients with hemiparesis. The study employed a pre-test and post-test equivalent control group design with a total of 60 respondents selected using consecutive sampling and divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received mirror therapy combined with conventional rehabilitation based on the Bonner protocol, whereas the control group received only conventional therapy. Motor function was assessed using a handgrip dynamometer, and ADL was evaluated using the Barthel Index. Results showed that most respondents were over 50 years old (86%), male (60%), and diagnosed with non-hemorrhagic stroke (93%). Statistical analysis revealed significant improvements in motor function in both the intervention group (p=0.000) and the control group (p=0.001). Significant improvements in ADL were also observed in the intervention group (p=0.000) and the control group (p=0.000). Comparison between groups demonstrated significant differences in motor function (p=0.004) and ADL (p=0.000). These findings indicate that mirror therapy is effective in enhancing motor function and ADL performance in post-stroke patients with hemiparesis. Therefore, mirror therapy is recommended to be incorporated into physiotherapy standard operating procedures for post-stroke rehabilitation.

Abstract

Elderly conditions that experience various declines or deterioration of biological and psychological functions can affect mobility and social contact, one of which is loneliness. The elderly need a family to understand their condition, to be a good listener to meet their needs. This study aims to determine the relationship between family support and the level of loneliness in the elderly. This study was conducted at the Rw 2 Posyandu, Johar Baru Village, Jakarta, September 2024 - February 2025. The study used a cross-sectional design with a quantitative method with a sample of 72 elderly people. The data collection tool used a family support questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability with a Cronbach alpha value of 0.881, meaning ‘acceptable reliability’, and the UCLA Loneliness Scare version 3 questionnaire. The results showed that the majority of elderly people had high emotional support 94.4%, high esteem support 79.2%, high instrumental support 94.4%, high information support 93.1%, and high overall family support 94.4%. The level of loneliness for the elderly is high at 52.8%. There is a relationship between emotional support (p-value 0.040), appreciation support (p-value 0.001), instrumental support (p-value), and family support (p-value 0.040) and loneliness, but there is no relationship between information support and loneliness (p-value 0.109). Suggestions for elderly respondents are expected to maintain good relations with their families and continue to inform their families regarding the needs they need
