Abstract

This study aims to describe the effect of community-based health promotion in hypertension control in the elderly population in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The research goal is to assess the influence of community health involvement on the control of blood pressure, drug adherence and lifestyle change among the elderly with hypertension. The design used was quantitative with cross sectional approach and the number of respondents was 300 elderly people participating in community health activities involving Posyandu Lansia and local health cadre. Structured questionnaires, medication adherence scales and direct blood pressure measurements were used to collect data which were analyzed descriptively, by Pearson correlation, multiple regression and analysis of variance. The results demonstrate that engagement in a community-based health promotion program has a significant impact on lowering BP, increasing adherence to medications and healthy lifestyle habits. Demographic and health factors were also controlled for, with community involvement being the strongest predictor of hypertension control. The novelty of the study is the incorporation of participatory governance and public health perspectives, conceptualizing community-based health promotion as a decentralised health management strategy, and not an educational intervention. The findings suggest that greater community involvement and culturally relevant health initiatives could help improve chronic hypertension control in the elderly in developing areas.

Abstract

Population ageing has intensified concerns regarding the health and quality of life of elderly individuals living within community settings. This study aimed to examine the combined influence of physical and psychological health conditions on the quality of life of community-dwelling elderly populations. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed involving elderly participants aged 60 years and above residing in urban and semi-urban communities. Data were collected through structured face-to-face interviews using validated instruments assessing chronic physical conditions, psychological health status, and multidimensional quality of life domains. The findings revealed a high prevalence of chronic illnesses, particularly hypertension and musculoskeletal disorders, alongside considerable levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms. Psychological health emerged as a stronger predictor of quality of life compared to most physical health variables. Furthermore, the interaction analysis demonstrated that psychological resilience may buffer the negative effects of chronic physical illness on elderly well-being. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative analysis of physical and psychological health within real-world community settings using a biopsychosocial perspective. The study highlights the importance of integrated community-based interventions addressing both physical and mental health to promote healthy ageing and improve elderly quality of life.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between family and social support and the health and independence of older people. The research will focus on the analysis of the relationships between emotional support, instrumental help and social integration in the context of functional autonomy and well-being of older people. Using the mixed methods approach, the study combined both qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys with 150 elderly participants (60 years and older). Both quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed and used to explore the experiences of support and independence for the elderly, with descriptive statistics applied to quantitative data and thematic analysis applied to the qualitative data. The results indicate that instrumental support and social participation are important predictors of elderly independence, and emotional support is the most important. Older adults who were actively engaged in community activities and had high levels of familial support had higher functional independence, psychological well-being, and life satisfaction. The qualitative results also suggest that a balance of care, emotional support and purposeful social engagement can aid to enhance dignity and autonomy in elderly age. It is quite unique in its holistic approach to family support and social participation as linked factors influencing healthy ageing. The results have implications for policy makers, health professionals, and families in formulating family-oriented and community-based approaches to support the elderly to retain independence, minimize social isolation, and enhance the quality of life for elderly people.

Abstract

Population ageing poses significant challenges for health systems, particularly in ensuring effective health care for older adults within daily life contexts. This study aimed to analyze factors related to elderly health care in daily life among community-dwelling older adults by integrating individual, social, and environmental dimensions. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed involving 240 elderly participants aged 60 years and above. Data were collected using structured questionnaires measuring socio-demographic characteristics, health status, daily health care practices, social support, and environmental conditions. Descriptive statistics and multivariate regression analyses were used to examine associations between variables. The results indicated that overall engagement in daily health care practices was moderate, with higher adherence observed in medication use and personal hygiene, and lower engagement in physical activity and routine health monitoring. Multivariate analysis revealed that family social support, self-rated health, accessibility of health services, educational level, and age were significantly associated with daily health care practices. Family social support emerged as the strongest predictor. These findings highlight that elderly health care in daily life is influenced by the interaction of personal capacity, social relationships, and environmental accessibility. Strengthening family-based support, improving health literacy, and enhancing access to community and health services are essential to promote healthy ageing and sustain daily health care practices among older adults.

Abstract

The increasing dependence on electronic devices in occupational, educational, and recreational activities has intensified concerns regarding eye health problems associated with prolonged screen exposure. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of visual discomfort among adult electronic device users and to identify behavioral, environmental, and individual factors influencing ocular health outcomes. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed involving 300 respondents aged 18 years and above who routinely used electronic devices for at least two hours daily. Data were collected through structured questionnaires assessing screen exposure patterns, ergonomic conditions, behavioral practices, and self-reported eye health symptoms. The findings revealed a high prevalence of digital eye strain symptoms, particularly eye fatigue, dry eyes, blurred vision, and headaches. Prolonged screen exposure exceeding six hours daily emerged as the strongest predictor of visual discomfort, while irregular visual breaks, excessive screen brightness, close viewing distance, and corrective lens use further increased symptom prevalence. The novelty of this study lies in its multidimensional analytical framework integrating behavioral, environmental, and physiological determinants within broader non-clinical populations. The findings highlight the importance of integrated preventive strategies combining ergonomic improvements, digital-wellbeing education, and institutional support to promote sustainable and healthier digital technology use.
