Partnership Program

Klampis Ngasem is one of the areas in East Surabaya, precisely in Sukolilo sub-district, Surabaya. The target group in the community partnership program (PKM) is the Elderly Posyandu "Barokah" in RW 3. Problems that occur in the Elderly Barokah Posyandu are less varied activities and innovation so that some elderly are less interested and bored to follow routinely as indicated by the presence of the elderly < 75%, the absence of efforts to prevent dementia that is carried out regularly and continue for the elderly, lack of elderly knowledge about changes in cognitive function and efforts to maintain cognitive function so as to prevent dementia, and the availability of leisure time for the elderly in addition to routine posyandu activities and those that have not been utilized to be useful and productive. The solution to overcome these problems is through the application of Art Therapy to make colet batik. The purpose of this community service is to help express themselves, maintain the cognitive function of the elderly and provide new skills in making batik as an activity in the Posyandu Elder Barokah Klampis Ngasem Village. The activities carried out are screening to see the cognitive function of the elderly using Mini mental state examination (MMSE) and clock drawing test (CDT), counseling about prevention of dementia which includes knowing dementia, prevention of dementia, and art therapy, batik colet training with demonstration methods, and simulation. The results of batik colet will be processed again with the help of cadres or the elderly who have sewing skills to be used as sofa pillowcases. From this process, a work or product will be produced from the batik colet method.

Abstract Background: Mild hyponatremia (serum sodium 130-135 mEq/L) is a common electrolyte disorder in the elderly. However, its association with both sarcopenia and cognitive function remains to be clarified. Therefore, here we investigated the association of mild hyponatremia with skeletal muscle mass, physical function, and cognitive function in the elderly. Methods: We enrolled 75 participants with mild hyponatremia and 2907 with normonatremia (serum sodium, 136-145 mEq/L) aged ≥ 70 years who visited the Memory Disorder Outpatient Center of Japan’s National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology. Skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), grip strength (GS), walking speed (WS), one-leg standing (OLS) test times, and neuropsychological test scores were determined. Results: One-way analysis of covariance showed that elderly participants with mild hyponatremia had lower SMI (7.1 ± 0.2, 7.2 ± 0.2 kg/m2, p = 0.04), weaker GS (19.1 ± 1.9 vs 21.4 ± 1.8 kg, p = 0.01), slower WS (0.9 ± 0.1 vs 1.1 ± 0.1 m/s, p = 0.001), and higher GDS- 15 score (6.4 ± 0.9 vs 5.2 ± 0.9, p = 0.002) than those with normonatremia. Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that mild hyponatremia was independently associated with sarcopenia (odds ratio [OR]: 2.2, p = 0.02), slower WS (OR: 5.3, p = 0.04) and shorter OLS time (OR: 2.5, p = 0.02) as well as with severe depressive mood (OR: 2.6 p = 0.006) but not with SMI (OR: 1.6, p = 0.2) or GS (OR: 1.9, p = 0.09). Conclusions: Our results suggest that elderly people with even mild hyponatremia had physical function impairment and depressive mood.

Dementia Prevention

This non-synchronized design research tested the effects of dementia prevention program on cognitive and emotional functions, and activities of daily living of subjects in The Dementia Safety Village by National Responsibility System for Dementia. The subjects were 11 elders at local elderly center of The Dementia Safety Village. Outcome variables include cognition (MMSE-DS: Mini-Mental State Examination-Dementia Scale), emotion (SGDS-K: Short form Geriatric Depression Scale-Korean version), and physical function (IADL: Instrumental Activity of Daily Living). The program provided two hours per a session per week for eight weeks. After completing the program, the score of MMSE-DS, a tool for cognitive function evaluation, increased with a statistically significant figure (t = –3.35, p = 0.007). The score of SGDS-K, which evaluated emotional function, increased, though it did not reach in a statistically significant level (t = –0.482, p = 0.640). The score of IADL showed no a statistically significant figure (t = 0.680, p = 0.512), but the mean showed a slight decreased figure (pre 12.00 ± 4.49, post 11.00 ± 2.19). Based on these results, the dementia program may be used for dementia prevention to the patients of The Dementia Safety Village. This research suggests that an appropriate program for the prevention of dementia needed to be developed further in the future.
