The elderly is an increasingly old age, characterized by changes and decreased ability to function in the body, one of which is gastrointestinal function, the problem that is often encountered is defecation control. The aim of the study was to see differences in stool scales based on the bristol stool scale before and after pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) in the elderly. The method in this study was quantitative with a pre-experimental design pre-post one group without control, on 21 research subjects who were selected by purposive sampling technique. The research data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon rank test. The results of the descriptive data study showed that pre-intervention constipation was 57,0%, ideal stool 28,6%, diarrhea 14,3%, after-intervention constipation 23.80%, ideal stool 66,66, diarrhea 9,5%, and test results different from the p-value <0,05, namely = 0,009, meaning that there is an effect on the stool scale before and after being given the PFME intervention. Researchers provide recommendations for the elderly to do Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises in daily and scheduled activities.
Elderly is part of the life process that cannot be avoided and will be experienced by every individual. The aging process can cause various problems both physically, biologically, socio-economically and mentally. One of the biological disorders that occur in the elderly is defecation disorders. Defecation is the process of removing waste products from the body. Defecation removes the remains of digestion or also substances that do not undergo the digestive process, these substances are in the form of feces that are excreted through the anus. One of the methods used to improve the function of defecation and micturition is Pelvic Floor Muscule Exercises (PFME). The purpose of community service is to train the elderly to do PFME in order to improve defecation function. Training activities for 6 consecutive days, with 15 elderly living in elderly social institutions. The results of the activity show that the activity can increase defecation even though it is not significant. These results state that Pelvic Floor Muscule Exercises (PFME) activities need to be carried out routinely at social institutions for the elderly to help reduce disorders in elderly defecation.
A common problem that often occurs in the elderly is sleep disturbance which can affect quality of life. One of the most common sleep disorders is insomnia. This study aims to analyze the impact of the benson relaxation technique on the level of insomnia in the lederly. This research is a quantitative study with a one group pretest-postest (pre-experimental study) design. The number of samples in this tudy were 30 respondents with a sampling technique using total sampling. The data collection tool used a questionnaire consisting of a survey of respondent characteristics and an insomnia rating scale. The intervension used is the benson relaxation technique. Data collection was carried out before and after the implementation of the intervention. Research data were analyzed using the wilcoxon signed-rank test with a p-value <0.05. The conclusion in this study is that there is a significant difference in the level of insomnia in the elderly between before and after the implementation of the intervention.
lansia sangat rentang terhadap penyakit salah satunya adalah gangguan pada muskulosketal, salah satu yang menjadi permsalahan pada lansia adlah sakit sendi seperti rematik, maka perlunya adanya intrevensi yang dapat mengurangi sakit sendi pada lansia dan salah satu olahraga fisik yang sederhana dan mudah dilakukan adalah senam rematik, senam rematik berfokus padamempertahankan lingkup gerak sendi secara maksimal, tujuan kegiatan pengabdian untuk mendampingan lansia melakukan senam rematik. Metode yang digunakan dengan dilakukan pretes dan postes untuk melihar rasa nyeri pada sendi lansia, jumlah peserta pengabdian 20 orang lansia yang mengami permasalah rematik. kemudian lansia di ajari senam rematik, kemudian di dampingi dalam melakukan senam rematik yang dilakukan 3 kali dalam semingu di pagi hari dengan durasi 10-15 menit, hasil kegiatan menunjukan bahwa senam rematik tidak signifikan menurunkan nyeri sendi akan tetapi perlu adanya kegiatan yang teratur dalam melakukan senam sehingga lansia dapat mendapatkan hasil yang maksimal. Maka perluanya bagi keluarga yang mempunyai lansia dapat melakukan gerakan senam rematik secara teratur juag dapat meningkatakn kebugaran pada lansia
adalah suatu kelainan berupa inflamasi kronik saluran napas yang mengakibatkan penyempitan saluran napas, sehingga meningkatkan resistensi aliran udara dan menurunkan laju aliran ekspirasi. Selain terapi farmakologis, penatalaksanaan asma juga dapat dilakukan secara non farmakologis, diantaranya dengan latihan incorporating progressive muscle relaxation dan diaphragm breathing exercise yang dapat meningkatkan aliran puncak ekspirasi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh incorporating progressive muscle relaxation dan diaphragm breathing exercise terhadap peningkatan aliran puncak ekspirasi (APE) pasien asma. Metode penelitian adalah quasy experimental pre-test dan post-test with control group. Jumlah responden penelitian adalah 80 orang yang dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok yaitu 60 orang kelompok intervensi dan 20 orang kelompok kontrol. Hasil uji beda paired sample t-test pada kelompok intervensi menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan APE sebelum dan sesudah intervensi (65,05% vs 81,17%, p=0,00). Hasil uji independen t-test menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan APE kelompok intervensi dengan kelompok kontrol (81,17% vs 65,10%, p=0,00). Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa latihan incorporating progressive muscle relaxation dan diaphragm breathing exercise berpengaruh pada peningkatan APE.
