Abstract

World Health Organization (WHO) approximates 1.28 billion individual suffers hypertension, with 46% of them does not realize it, and only 1 of 5 hypertensive individual has their blood pressure controlled. Hypertension prevalence is still relatively high in the elderly population who live in nursing home. This is one of the main health adversities that often happens and should not be underestimated due to its risk of complications. Uncontrolled blood pressure is one of the main risk factor to the global disease burden and total of global death, contributing up to 9,4 millions of deaths (8,5% of the global total) annually. This activity aims to increase the knowledge of the community about hypertension in elderly who lives in nursing home to increase the quality of life and reducing the cost burden of therapies and treatments. We use PDCA activity method to ensure the program could run smoothly and efficiently. This activity included 34 elderly respondents of the St Fransiscus Community with the mean age of 4 (11,8%) years. We found that 4 (11,8%) of the respondents have uncontrolled blood pressure. With the implementation of this program, it is hoped that the public awareness of elderly hypertension and its prevention is increased, so that there will be increase of quality of life for the elderly in the future and relieving the economical burden.

Abstract

Telinga memiliki mekanisme pembersihan alami terhadap kotoran atau serumen telinga yang berlebihan. Praktik pembersihan telinga, seperti memasukkan benda ke dalam liang telinga seperti cotton bud, batang korek api, dan benda lainnya yang biasa digunakan untuk membersihkan telinga dapat menimbulkan risiko cedera. Kotoran telinga atau serumen berfungsi melindungi telinga dari debu dan partikel asing. Namun, akumulasi kotoran telinga yang berlebihan, terutama pada orang lanjut usia, dapat mengganggu pendengaran dan meningkatkan risiko infeksi. Oleh karena itu, pemeriksaan fisik telinga sebagai deteksi dini sangat penting dilakukan pada lansia. Kegiatan ini menggunakan metodologi PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) untuk melakukan pemeriksaan telinga pada kelompok lanjut usia di Gereja St. Fransiskus Asisi, Jakarta. Hasil pemeriksaan fisik diketahui terdapat 7 (19,4%) responden memiliki gendang telinga kanan yang tidak dapat dinilai, 2 (5,6%) responden memiliki gendang telinga kiri yang perforasi, 7 (19,4%) responden mengalami serumen prop pada telinga kanan serta 3 (8,3%) responden mengalami serumen prop pada telinga kiri. Edukasi kepada lanjut usia tentang pentingnya praktik pembersihan telinga dengan cara yang tepat sangat penting untuk kesehatan telinga secara keseluruhan. Hal ini dapat membantu mencegah cedera dan menjaga kesehatan pendengaran.

Abstract

Physical activity is essential for children, but unfortunately, it has decreased due to the development of technology. Sedentary behavior in children can cause growth disorders, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. It can also affect child development, including emotional and behavioral disorders, decreased self-confidence, and symptoms of depression. This cross-sectional study was conducted in February-March 2024 in five Ciherang Elementary Schools. The study included 246 children who met the inclusion criteria. Physical activity was assessed using the IPAQ questionnaire, while emotional and behavioral disorders were assessed using the pediatric symptom checklist 17 (PSC-17) questionnaire. Their mean age was 11.83 years. The mean IPAQ score was 62.21 (16.45), and the mean PSC-17 score was 11 (2 – 27). The study found no significant correlation between physical activity and emotional, behavioral, and psychosocial disorders (internalization; p-value = 0.322, attention; p-value=0.515, and externalization; p-value=0.059, and total PSC17 score; p-value=0.944). However, a correlation was found between physical activity and externalizing behavior, with an r-correlation value of 0.121 and an R square of 0.016. Physical activity is associated with externalizing behavior, particularly in children between 10 and 14.
