Abstract

Currently, Indonesia is entering the aging population phase. Along with increasing welfare, the life expectancy of the population is getting higher but the quality of a healthy life is low due to the cycle of recurring diseases in old age. One of the cycles of disease that requires long-term care is the elderly with dementia. In rural Java, senility as a disease is not widely known. The term senility is equivalent to dementia. The elderly that suffered from dementia are treated instinctively according to local customs. The way of caring is simple, only based on instinct when seeing symptoms without clinical medical indications. This paper discusses ethnocaring, a community knowledge perspective in the care of the elderly with dementia which describes natural care habits based on experience. The research was conducted in March-May 2023 in Bantul using a purposive sampling method and obtaining 5 caregivers in the selected villages consisting of family and community members. The results showed that senility was treated based on the status of the relationship between caregivers and elderly with dementia and the role of the philosophy of "mikul dhuwur mendhem jero'' which animates behavior and determines its role in quality and type of care.

The negative impact of food taboos can result in the mother and foetus not being able to get good nutritional intake. Medical experts explain that pregnant women should eat healthy foods and should discuss with a doctor or nutritionist so that they can get the right advice.

Abstract

The age of marriage is still become a dilemma for Indonesian people, especially for them who live in rural areas with a thick local wisdom. The influence of local wisdom in deciding the marriage is so great in the society so that they do not pay any respect to the regulations that have been made by the government. The impact of child marriage can affect reproductive health, which is largely ignored by society. In fact, reproductive health is one of the factors in achieving the Indonesian government’s goal to have a golden generation in 2045. However, if the society’s knowledge about reproductive health is lacking, will Indonesia really get the golden generation as it dreams of? This research wants to reveal the problems that occur in Indonesian society, especially people who are living in rural areas. Using qualitative methods, this research was conducted through several stages, one of which was literature studies and in-depth interviews. The results of the study show that there are several factors influence the challenges of maturing child marriage, such as local culture of the society, family economic conditions, and lack of knowledge about reproductive health. Due to the lack of knowledge on reproductive health, people experience vulnerability to child marriage, marriage by accident, and end up on dropping out of school. This is an urgent condition that requires serious handling by various parties through collaboration to provide information related to reproductive health and maturing the age of marriage.
