PELATIHAN KADER DALAM SKRINING PENYAKIT DEGENERATIF PADA LANSIA
Abstract
Elderly experienced degenerative diseases due to the aging process. Decreased organ function causes several symptoms that decrease life quality. Elderly in Banjar Tatasan Kaja, Denpasar, Bali also have several symptoms and reduce their activities. Even though there is regular exercise every week, they never undergo health screening. We conduct training to screen for degenerative diseases for elderly cadres, health screening and health promotion for the elderly. Five cadres (100%) were trained to do health screening. Screening tools are handed over to the head of the cadre. Furthermore, elderly cadres assist doctors and midwife to help to do health screening activities. Forty-four elders participate in health promotion and screening. Health promotion was about degenerative diseases and tips to improve physical activities. The result of this program is skill improvement of elderly cadres and knowledge improvement of elderly about degenerative diseases. The pre-test average is 23.95% and the post-test average is 85.12%. The knowledge score increased by about 61.17%. Elderly who have some symptoms can consult with the community service team doctor. The program went well and the cadre will continuously do the health screening.
