Abstract

Background: Sleep disturbances are among the most frequent health problems in older adults, especially those residing in nursing homes. Psychosocial and environmental factors, including length of stay, may affect sleep quality. Prolonged residence in an institution can lead to feelings of loneliness, loss of family connection, and decreased physical activity, all of which contribute to poor sleep. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the effect of the length of stay at Panti Werda Budi Sejahtera on the sleep quality of elderly residents. The focus was to compare the quality of sleep between residents who had lived for more than five years and those who had lived for five years or less. Methods: This research employed a quantitative correlational design with purposive sampling. A total of 32 elderly respondents, aged 60 years and above, were included according to set inclusion criteria. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test at a 95% confidence level (p < 0.05). Results: 80% of the elderly who had stayed longer than five years reported poor sleep quality, while 63.6% of those with shorter stays reported good sleep quality. Statistical analysis revealed χ² = 4.886 and p = 0.027, indicating a significant relationship between length of stay and sleep quality. Conclusion: Based on the study findings, nursing homes to elderly residents with longer lengths of stay more likely to experience poor sleep quality.

Abstract

Introduction: The commonly used types of anesthesia are general anesthesia and spinal anesthesia. Elderly patients heal more slowly due to weakened immune systems and decreased organ function. The purpose of this study was to investigate the length of hospital stay among elderly patients after surgery by comparing two types of anesthesia: general and spinal. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involving a geriatric population aged 60 years and older who underwent surgery under spinal or general anesthesia between January and June 2024 at a public hospital in East Jakarta. A total of 107 samples met the criteria. The independent variables were general anesthesia and spinal anesthesia, and the dependent variable was the length of stay (LOS) after surgery. The bivariate study employed Chi-square analysis, using a p-value of 0.05 as the criterion for significance. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in LOS between the two anesthetics (p-value = 0.24). We analyzed four variables using ordinal regression to examine their effect on anesthesia type and LOS. The gender category was obtained with (b = 0.045, p-value = 0.93), the age category with (b = -0.126, p-value = 0.83), the body mass index category with (b = -0.429, p-value = 0.41), and the comorbid category with (b = -0.137, p-value = 0.68). None of these variables showed any effect on the relationship between anesthesia type and length of hospital stay. Conclusion: The study found that the length of stay for elderly patients after recovering from surgery was not statistically significant, regardless of the type of anesthesia used, including both general and spinal anesthesia.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a chronic non-communicable disease that requires long-term therapy and consistent medication adherence to prevent complications. However, adherence to antihypertensive medication remains low and may be influenced by factors such as duration of hypertension and duration of medication use. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the relationship between duration of hypertension and duration of antihypertensive medication use with medication adherence among hypertensive patients at Abeli Public Health Center, Kendari City. Method: This study employed an analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 62 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews using structured questionnaires, and medication adherence was assessed using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS). Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: The analysis showed a significant relationship between duration of antihypertensive medication use and medication adherence (p = 0.007). Respondents with a duration of medication use of 2–4 years had the highest proportion of non-adherence (95.5%). Meanwhile, duration of hypertension was not significantly associated with medication adherence (p = 0.356). Conclusion: Duration of antihypertensive medication use was significantly associated with medication adherence, whereas duration of hypertension was not associated with medication adherence among hypertensive patients at Abeli Public Health Center, Kendari City.

Abstract

Background: Quality of life among the elderly is a key indicator of overall well-being and is influenced by physical, social, and economic factors. The growing elderly population is not always accompanied by improvements in quality of life, underscoring the importance of identifying its determinants. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the determinants of quality of life among the elderly in the working area of the Latambaga Public Health Center, Kolaka Regency. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 106 elderly respondents selected using an appropriate sampling technique. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires and analyzed using Chi-square tests and logistic regression with IBM SPSS Statistics version 23 at a 95% confidence level (p < 0.05). Results: More than half of the respondents (56.6%) had a poor quality of life. There were significant associations between social support (p = 0.001), health status (p = 0.002), and economic status (p = 0.047) with quality of life. Multivariate analysis showed that social support was the most dominant factor influencing quality of life (OR = 3.45; 95% CI: 1.62–7.35). Conclusion: Social support, health status, and economic status are significant determinants of quality of life among the elderly, with social support being the most influential factor. Strengthening social support systems is essential to improve the well-being of the elderly.
