Abstract

Introduction: A person is considered elderly if they are 60 years of age or older, regardless of gender. The Riau Province Central Statistics Agency projects that 482,933 persons will be among the elderly in 2022. According to data spanning from January 2023 to March 2023, there was a 20% monthly decline in the average number of senior individuals visiting Health Care for the senior. Seniors who receive fewer visits from senior Health Care may find it more difficult to keep track of their health and may exhibit signs of degenerative illnesses brought on by compromised physical components. Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify the variables that affect how often the elderly in the West Dumai Health Center Working Area use Health Care. Method: In this study, stratified random sampling and quantitative techniques with a cross-sectional design were used. There were 973 respondents in the research population, and 91 respondents made up the research sample. In this study, a questionnaire is used. This study was conducted from September to October 2023. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were used. Logistic regression and the chi-square test were the statistical tests that were employed. Result: The research results showed that there was an influence of Education p value=0.000, Occupation p value=0.010, Knowledge p value=0.000, Attitude p value=0.001, Family Support p value=0.016 and no influence of Distance to Health Services p value=0.627 with the use of Health Care for the elderly. Based on the results of the logistic regression test, the most influential variable is attitude with an Exp(B) value of 7.276. Conclusion: The study's findings indicated that while the distance between health services and the use of Health Care by the elderly in the West Dumai Health Center Working Area is unaffected, education, employment, knowledge, attitudes, and family support are. To keep an eye on the elderly's condition, it was desired that health professionals, especially those at Community Health Centers, would provide more counseling and education on the value of Health Care for the elderly and routinely visit Health Care for the elderly at least once a month.
