Cleanliness is an essential factor in supporting health programs in Indonesia, one of which is handwashing with soap (CTPS). The application of CTPS in everyday life in the community is able to prevent various diseases. Knowledge of CTPS among the elderly is still relatively low and is often neglected. Meanwhile, the highest number of deaths by age in Indonesia is at the age of 60 years (elderly) due to a drastic decline in the immune system in the group. Therefore, increasing knowledge of CTPS in the elderly and education in the health sector is necessary. The main objective of this community service program was to improve the attitudes, knowledge, and skills of the elderly in social institutions in maintaining health, especially on hygiene. Accordingly, this is expected to increase life expectancy for the elderly. The methods in this service program were through tutorials and mentoring practices. This community service activity was conducted for the elderly at the Tresna Werdha Teratai Social Home in Palembang. The results were reflected by the enthusiasm of the elderly participants who attended. The result showed the improved posttest score in the average knowledge of the elderly from the initial score of 54 to 71 points. Increasing the knowledge and skills of the elderly towards CTPS can be applied in everyday life, thereby reducing susceptibility to various diseases.
Self-efficacy has 3 dimensions that are closely related to readiness to care, namely the dimensions of magnitude (difficulty), dimensions of generality (expectations), and dimensions of strength (strength). The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between family self-efficacy and readiness to care for family members after orthopedic surgery at Meuraxa Hospital, Banda Aceh. This type of research uses a descriptive correlation design with a cross sectional approach. This study uses the Chi-Square correlation method with = 0.05. The study was conducted by distributing questionnaires to the patient's family. The results of this study indicate the P-value = 0.000 < = 0.05, meaning that there is a significant relationship between family self-efficacy and readiness to care for family members after orthopedic surgery in the Al-Bayyan Room, Raudah and Orthopedic Poly Hospital Meuraxa Banda Aceh. Based on the results of the study, it can be said that if the self-efficacy of the patient's family is high, it will make the family ready to care for or the higher the self-efficacy, the more readiness of the family to care for. This research is expected to be useful for post-surgical patients, health workers, hospitals and educational institutions in order to improve evaluation.
Background: The nurse's verbal and non-verbal communication greatly affects the readiness of the patient and the patient's family to undergo surgery. Unclear communication causes misperceptions and the emergence of communication barriers in the nurse-client interaction process. The limited time and information provided are the causes of communication barriers in the client care process. This of course greatly affects patient care, especially in conditions that require intensive care. Methods: This study aims to determine the relationship between verbal and non-verbal communication between nurses and perceptions of communication barriers in families of pre-surgery patients in the intensive care unit, with a correlation design using a Cross Sectional study approach. The number of samples was 95 families of preoperative patients in the intensive care unit using purposive sampling technique. Results: 51.6% of nurses' verbal communication was good, and 50.5% of nurses' nonverbal communication was good, and there were no communication barriers between nurses and patients' families (54.7%). There was a significant relationship between nurses' verbal communication with perceptions of family communication barriers in pre-surgery patients in the intensive room (P=0.001) and there was a correlation between nurses' nonverbal communication with perceptions of family communication barriers in pre- surgery patients in the intensive room (P=0.002). Recommendation: Nurses are expected to continue to communicate effectively verbal and non-verbal with patients and families to prevent barriers in communication
We can see the impact of COVID-19 from various aspects, one of which is education. Education is an aspect that has been greatly affected by the pandemic. The imposition of social restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic implemented in the field of education in the form of distance learning is a serious problem for students. Uncertainty in aspects of life has caused stress in some students. Stress conditions have affected individual mental health so that it affects daily activities. Stress can cause disturbances in immunity as well as cause anxiety disorders and depression. This study aims to analyze stress management in students during the Covid 19 pandemic. The method used is the provision of health education with lectures, questions and answers, discussions, demonstrations, and re-demonstrations. Before the implementation of the activity, a pre-test was carried out and after that a post-test was carried out using a questionnaire. The results showed an increase in participants' knowledge and attitudes about how to do stress management. This shows the provision of health education using a variety of effective methods to increase knowledge. Alternatives to managing student stress include maximizing counseling services, implementing counseling, time management, setting guidance schedules with supervisors, setting graduation targets and seeking social support.
