Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on the capacity of health systems to continue to provide critical services. As healthcare systems around the world face a growing demand for care for patients with COVID-19, it is vital to maintain preventive and curative services, especially for the most vulnerable populations, the elderly and the elderly living with chronic diseases. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of health service utilization and satisfaction of older adults amidst COVID-19 pandemic. The study used a descriptive- correlational research design that was conducted in a selected barangay in the city of Caloocan. The purposive and snowball sampling method was used to select respondents and must meet the following criteria: elderly between the ages of 60 and 74, and using health care services. The data collection was carried out through a series of questionnaires with an informed consent form through online platforms. Based from the data gathered, the strength of the relationship is indicated by the correlation coefficient with a score of. 795, which is greater than 0.70 shows a high correlation between the two variables. This means that when the level of utilization of community-based services of the respondent is high, their level of satisfaction with health care services increases as well. Overall, it is important to prioritize the level of utilization and satisfaction in community-based healthcare among older adults as it is used as an indicator for measuring the quality of healthcare. The level of utilization among older adults is inclined to their level of satisfaction, in which respondents are highly satisfied with their usage of services in terms of accessibility, availability and affordability of the community-based services. Moreover, demographic profile of respondents has no significant difference, which indicates that respondent’s level of satisfaction in community-based services is affected by their level of utilization of services in their barangay health center. Health services, if used by the elderly, can lead to satisfaction. Therefore, the promotion of the various health services is strongly encouraged to reach not only a few, but the whole population.

Abstract

One of the natural disasters that often occurs in Indonesia is volcanic eruptions. Volcano disaster management in Indonesia is considered less than optimal because several areas are close to volcanoes and need to implement disaster management properly. Indonesia, with around 13,000 active volcanoes, has caused considerable losses. Mount Raung is an active volcano located in Panjen Hamlet, Jambewangi Village, Sempu District, East Java, with a peak reaching 3,332 meters above sea level and administratively included in three districts, namely Banyuwangi, Bondowoso, and Jember. The respondents used were 20 adolescents aged 18-21 years. The instrument used was a pre-test and post-test questionnaire in a Google Form. The pre-test found that adolescents' knowledge of disaster management needed to be improved. Post-test results found an increase in adolescent knowledge about disaster management to be good. Before respondents received empowerment in Mount Raung disaster management through socialization, they needed more knowledge about Mount Raung disaster management. After the socialization, the data showed that the majority of teenagers in Panjen Hamlet, namely 18 respondents (90%), had a good level of knowledge about Mount Raung disaster management. The implementation of socialization can overcome this problem because socialization is a process of learning, introducing, and disseminating knowledge, ways of life, or social values appropriate to the group to achieve a more developed personality. Socialization is effectively used as an information medium to increase adolescents' knowledge about disaster management.

Abstract

Hypertension is the most common chronic disease suffered by people in Indonesia and is the main cause of death every year. Hypertension is called the silent killer because it is often experienced without complaints, and causes serious complications, especially in middle adulthood. Management of hypertension can be done with non-pharmacological therapy, one of which is meditation. This study aims to analyze the effect of meditation on reducing blood pressure in middle-aged hypertensive sufferers in the Pandanwangi Health Center working area, Malang City on April 2022. The research design was quasi experimental with a pre-test post-test design with control group. The total sample was 42 respondents divided into two groups (treatment and control). Statistical analysis uses the Mann Whitney test. The results showed that there was a decrease in the average systolic blood pressure from 148.33 mmHg to 139.28 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure from 89.04 mmHg to 83.57 mmHg in the treatment group after being given meditation for 3 sessions. The statistical test results show that the p-value for measuring post-treatment systolic blood pressure between the treatment group and the control group is 0.022 ≤ alpha 0.05, and the p-value for measuring post-treatment diastolic between the treatment group and the control group is 0.005 ≤ alpha 0.05. So, it can be concluded that there is an effect of meditation on reducing blood pressure in middle-aged hypertensive sufferers. It is hoped that in future research can be continued on the effect of meditation on blood pressure in other age groups (elderly age) by analyzing factors that can influence blood pressure, such as stress, physical activity and sleep patterns.

Abstract

Hypertension is a disease that causes high pain. Consuming sodium and fatty acids every day can increase the risk of hypertension. The impact of high fatty acids affects the presence of cholesterol deposits in the blood, while the levels of fatty acids cause increased blood pressure. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between sodium fat and hypertension in the Chronic Disease Management Program (Prolanis) at the Jarak Kulon Public Health Center Jombang. The research design used was cross-sectional. The population of this study was all hypertensive patients who participated in Prolanis, as many as 50 people. The sampling technique used was total sampling. The independent variable is the fat-sodium diet, and the dependent variable is hypertension. The instrument for the fat-sodium diet uses a questionnaire, while the incident uses observation. Statistical tests use Spearman Ranks. Spearman ranked data analysis with a significance of 0.01 and obtained a value of 0.000. Because (<α) means there is a relationship between the fat-sodium diet and hypertension. The test results also show that the relationship level of 0.695 is included in the strong category. Based on the research results, it is hoped that food content that is low in fat and low in sodium levels will help blood pressure to reach near-normal levels to avoid more severe complications.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a significant public health concern, particularly among elderly families. Limited access to healthcare resources and inadequate disease management exacerbation the impact of NCDs on this vulnerable population. This study aimed to implement a community outreach initiative focused on enhancing non-communicable disease management in elderly families. A comprehensive intervention was designed, including health education workshops, individualized health assessments, and the establishment of support networks. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted to measure changes in knowledge levels, health status, health management practices, health behaviors, and family resilience among elderly families. Following the intervention, there was a substantial improvement in knowledge regarding NCDs and their management. Additionally, participants exhibited enhanced health status and more effective health management practices. Positive changes in health behaviors, such as regular exercise and balanced nutrition, were also observed. Moreover, family resilience significantly increased, strengthening their ability to cope with health challenges. The community outreach initiative demonstrated significant positive outcomes in non-communicable disease management among elderly families. Targeted interventions can play a role in empowering this demographic, improve their health and well-being, and encouraging community-based health services.
