Abstract

Introduction: Elderly with disability need caregiver’s assistance in their activities of daily living. The caregiver can experience burden during caring for dependent elderly. The burden can affect caregiver’s quality of life.Objectives: to measure and test the correlation between dependent elderly’s caregiver burden and quality of life in Klitren Kampong, Gondokusuman District, Yogyakarta Municipality. Materials and Methods:  The subjects were primary informal caregivers aged ≥ 18 years with good cognitive functions who caring for the elders with ADL score <12. Respondents were selected using consecutive sampling technique. This is a quantitative research with cross-sectional study design. Zarit Burden Interview and Caregiver Reaction Assessment were used to assessing caregiver’s burden. WHO Quality of Life-BREF was used to assess caregiver’s quality of life. Data was analysed using spearman’s rank correlation. Results: There were 21 female study subjects. In each of the CRA and ZBI domains, the caregivers’ burden tend to be low (mean=8.63±10.730–72.42±10.983). Caregivers’ quality of life tend to be low (mean=49.76±11.962–60.76±11.726). There is a strong and statistically significant correlation between the impact on finance (p=0.000, ρ=-0.678) and impact on health (p=0.002, ρ=-0.602) domain on CRA with the environmental domain of WHOQoL-BREF. There is a strong and statistically significant correlation between the impact on schedule domain on CRA with the psychological domain of WHOQoL-BREF (p=0,000, ρ=-0.683). Conclusion: There are significant correlations between caregivers’ burden and quality of life especially on certain domains. Caregivers with higher burden have lower quality of life.

Abstract

Introduction: A decrease often follows aging in quality of life. Coping is a form of problem-solving and balancing emotions in stressful situations. Coping strategies that someone uses extensively affect someone's ability to handle problems.Objectives: Obtain an overview of the coping mechanism of dependent elderly in Rejowinangun Urban Village, Yogyakarta, and indirectly know the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on dependent elderly.Materials and Methods: The subjects were more than 60 years old residents of Rejowinangun Urban Village, which are dependent on Barthel's criteria and had no cognitive impairment. A qualitative method with a phenomenological approach was used. Data collection was carried out by in-depth interviews, which were preceded by a screening process. Sampling was done through purposive sampling with five subjects. The interview was verbatim transcribed and analyzed using the thematic framework.Results: Dependent elderly perform confrontative, seeking social support, planful problem solving, self-control, distancing, positive reappraisal, escape/avoidance, and accepting responsibility coping. Not all dependent elderly living depend on others. Some do not want to bother others and are still productive. More diverse coping mechanisms were carried out by subjects who had the disease for more than ten years.Conclusion: Subjects tend to use problem-focused coping rather than emotion-focused coping. During the COVID-19 pandemic, their disease can become uncontrollable, and they feel stressed because they cannot do outside activities or the decreased income. However, they have more time to spend with their families.

Abstract

Background: Population of elderly in Indonesia continues to grow. Physical changes in the elderly cause balance disturbances, increasing the risks of falling. Objective: To determine balance training effectiveness on reducing risks of falls in elderly. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with control and intervention groups. Functional Reach Test (FRT) and Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) were used to assess balance function. The elderly in this study had risks of falling according to FRT and FES-I. Timed Get-up and Go Test was used to assess physical function. Education and balance exercises were given for 3 weeks to the intervention group. Pre-test data were taken at the beginning of the study, while post-test data after the balance training was given to the intervention group. Paired t-test was used to compare the pre-test and post-test data. Results: Research was conducted in Warungboto and Giwangan Kampongs, Umbulharjo District, Yogyakarta Municipality. Data from 60 elderly: 30 in the intervention and 30 in the control groups. Paired t-test showed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test results in the intervention group on FRT (t=-16,301, p<0.001, and FES-I (t=-24,457, p<0.001). The three-week-balance-training significantly reduced the risk of falling in the intervention group. Significant difference was not found in the control group on FRT (t=-0.126, p=0.901), and FES-I (t=-0.764, p=0.451). There was no significant reduction in the risks of falls in the control group. Conclusion: Balance training is effective in reducing the risk of falls in elderly.

Abstract

People with disabilities are vulnerable to being infected with the COVID-19 virus. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on human life, including the health of people with disabilities. The government makes various policies and programs in an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but their implementation is still challenging for people with disabilities. This community service program was carried out in collaboration with Mitra Sejahtera Disability Empowerment Center (PPDMS), an organization empowering people with disabilities in Gunungkidul Regency. Empowerment of people with disabilities was carried out using 'community control' principle in which the community has the control in making decisions regarding the problems they face so that they can adopt a ‘new normal’ lifestyle because of their knowledge. The principle of 'community control' was applied by providing education about COVID-19 situation in Indonesia, the symptoms and signs of COVID-19 infection, wash hands, proper cough etiquette, how to use masks, food and lifestyle that can prevent COVID-19 transmission, as well as about the benefits of COVID-19 vaccination. Education was given with a presentation followed by discussion. Evaluation was carried out quantitatively and qualitatively. Quantitative evaluation using pretest and post-test showed an increase in knowledge. Qualitative evaluation using FGD indicated changes in attitudes and behavior that support the adoption of ‘new normal’ lifestyle to prevent transmission of COVID-19. People with disabilities who have received education disseminate the information obtained to other people with disabilities, resulted in multiplication effect of this empowerment program for people with disabilities.

Abstract

Indonesia has the fourth highest population of older people in the world, with Yogyakarta Province having the highest percentage of older people in Indonesia. There is a need to ensure the well-being of older people. This study aimed to compare the well-being and health of older people living in urban and rural areas in Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia, as well as analyze the predictors of well-being. A total of 142 (80 rural and 62 urban) older people aged 60-75 years participated in this study. Well-being was assessed using the WHO-5 Well-Being Index. The factors measured included sociodemographic data (age, sex, educational level, living arrangements, and current employment status), physical function (mobility and balance), cognitive function, depression, independence, and attitude towards aging. Data of the two groups were compared using t-tests and chi-square analysis. Correlations with well-being were analyzed using univariate correlation and multivariate hierarchical regression. The urban group had slightly older age, higher education, lower mobility and balance, higher attitude scores, and higher well-being. Depression was a significant variable in well-being for both communities. Physical capacity was an important factor in urban populations, while well-being in rural areas was better predicted by independence and cognitive function.Keywords: aging, elderly, Indonesia, mental health, older people, physical health, quality of life, rural, urban, well-being

Abstract

Falls is the main cause of injuries in elderly. Studies on the long-term effects of balance training are still limited. This study aimed to assess the long-term impact of a physical exercise on the balance and fear of falling in community dwelling elderly. This was a quasi-experimental study with pre-post design. The participants were older people ≥60 years with balance problems. They received a one-month physical exercise. The instruments included Functional Reach Test (FRT) to assess balance and Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) to assess fear for falling. Assessment was conducted at pre- and post-intervention and two years later. Data were analysed using Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and linear mixed model regression. Data of 23 participants were analysed. There were significant differences inn FRT and FES-I between pre-and post-intervention, pre-intervention and two years later. There was no significant difference in FRT and FES-I between post-intervention and two years after. There was significant improvement in the balance and fear of falling one month and two years after the program. The balance program had long-term effect that lasted at least for two years. Inclusion of the balance program in community-based health program for elderly can improve balance and prevent falls.
