Great Hope

With the increasing number of elderly people, of course, there will be more and more complex problems that must be faced by these elderly people. Elderly people are no longer independent or dependent on others, unable to carry out activities on their own, need caregivers, have cognitive and functional decline, have complex psychosocial problems, and have multiple diseases. This study aims to provide an overview of the form of support and its impact on the health of the elderly by providing an overview through literature review research. Research data was obtained through literature study and hermeneutics. Family support can provide great hope for elderly people to continue to instill many positive things and reduce the negative possibilities experienced by them. Ways to provide support to the elderly can be: taking family members for walks, hanging out with friends, being with them throughout the day, and respecting one another. The benefits of providing the above are that there is an increasingly close family relationship, trusted by elderly parents, to be asked for any help, not awkward in expressing any opinion. This has an impact on the emotional stability of the elderly in living their lives.

This is a field research that analyzes the marriage suitability of elderly people in Socah, Bangkalan under the theory of maqasid shari'ah. The elderly marriage is officially conducted at KUA (Religious Affairs Office) of Socah for different reasons, namely: on the basis of coercion to the bride so that the family relationship does not break up, resulting in reluctance, on the basis of family compassion and encouragement. It is because the bride is an old maid and is his own niece on the basis of mutual love, avoid immorality and seek peace of life in old age. All couples can fulfill both material and non-material obligations, although not as perfect as a young couple. Some husbands do not want to have children for fear of not being able to support even though in this case the wife really wants it. Thus, the marriage of the elderly in Socah is sometimes appropriate and not in accordance with the maqasid shari'ah. The suitability in question is in terms of hifz al-din (protecting religion) and hifz al-mal (protecting wealth), while its inadequacies are in terms of hifz al-nasl (protecting offspring), because of their desires to have offspring and in terms of hifz al-nafs (protecting soul), and hifz al-'aql (protecting ratio), because of differences in descent have the negative effect on family disharmony that can interfere with the soul and mind. In this case, an intense dialogue and approach must be made to the couple to be more open and understand each other.

ABSTRACTBackground: The objective of this study is to acquire an understanding of the suicides among a group of elderly people by studying how they experienced their existence towards the end of life.Methods: This is a psychological autopsy study based on qualitative interviews with 63 informants in relation to 23 suicides committed by persons aged over 65 in Norway. Informants who knew the deceased persons well describe what the elderly person communicated to them about their experience of life in the period before the suicide and how they as informants saw and understood this. The informants comprise relatives, family doctors and home-based care nurses. The analysis of the interviews follows the systematic text condensation method.Results: The descriptions are divided into three main elements: the elderly persons' experiences of life, their perception of themselves, and their conceptions of death. “Experience of life” has two sub-topics: this life has been lived and life as a burden. Everything that had given value to their life had been lost and life was increasingly experienced as a burden. Their “perception of themselves” concerned losing oneself. Functional decline meant that they no longer had freedom of action and self-determination. “Conceptions of death” involve the following sub-topics: acknowledgement/acceptance and death is better than life. Life had entered into its final phase, and they seemed to accept death. For some time, many of them had expressed the wish to die.Conclusions: The results lead us to argue that their suicides should be considered as existential choices. The sum total of the different forms of strain had made life a burden they could no longer bear. Age meant that they were in a phase of life that entailed closeness to death, which they could also see as a relief.

Abstract Objective: To understand the challenges experienced by Portuguese workers in humanitude care for institutionalized elderly people during the pandemic. Method: This is a qualitative study, supported by reflections on the Humanitude Care Methodology, carried out with workers from different areas in a nursing home for elderly people in Portugal. Data collection took place between September and October 2020, from individual and online interviews. The categorization proposed by Bardin was adopted as the analysis technique. Results: Three categories emerged: (1) self-protection and of the other with the subcategories fear of being contaminated and fear of contaminating the elderly; (2) maintenance of affective relationships, broken down into the subcategories absence of family members in the nursing home and personal protective equipment as a barrier to communication and approximation; and (3) confinement of the elderly who attended the Day Center, with the subcategories lack of family support/loneliness and change in the elderly’s routine. Conclusion: The main challenges experienced by Portuguese workers are related to the necessary changes in the performance of care practices due to the use of personal protection that was not used before, limitations in affective relationships, and restrictions in interaction spaces.

Abstrak            Jumlah lansia di Indonesia mengalami peningkatan secara konsisten setiap tahunnya. Meski demikian tidak semua lansia beruntung bisa tinggal bersama keluarga di masa tuanya, hal itu bisa disebabkan oleh bermacam hal sehingga lansia ditempatkan di tempat penitipan lanjut usia atau biasa disebut dengan panti werdha. Panti werdha merupakan bentuk perhatian yang diberikan oleh pemerintah kepada lansia yang berfungsi untuk menampung lansia di Indonesia. Namun, kehidupan lansia di Panti Werdha tidak semuanya berjalan dengan lancar, tercatat menurut penelitian yang pernah dilakukan di Panti Griya Sehat Bahagia Palur Karanganyar bahwa sebanyak 94,5% lansia mengalami depresi di Panti karena berbagai hal. Oleh karena itu sudah menjadi tugas panti untuk memberikan pelayanan-pelayanan bagi lansia untuk membantu proses adaptasi lansia dengan memenuhi syarat dasar melangsungkan kehidupan mereka (syarat fisik, kejiwaan dan sosial). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi literatur, dimana penulis melakukan kajian terhadap berbagai sumber tertulis, baik berupa buku-buku, arsip, majalah, artikel, dan jurnal, atau dokumen-dokumen yang relevan dengan permasalahan yang dikaji. Dan dari kajian yang telah dilakukan ditemukan bahwa upaya pelayanan lansia telah diatur dalam undang-undang nomor 13 tahun 1998 pasal 3 yang menyatakan bahwa upaya meningkatkan kesejahteraan sosial lanjut usia meliputi pelaksanaan pelayanan bimbingan fisik, pelayanan bimbingan keagamaan/ mental spiritual, pelayanan bimbingan sosial serta bimbingan keterampilan dan telah mencakup segala aspek yang dibutuhkan lansia untuk memenuhi aspek yang diperlukan untuk beradaptasi.Kata Kunci : Lansia, Adaptasi, Panti Werdha, Pelayanan Panti Werdha.Abstract            Numbers of elderly people in Indonesia has increased consistently. However, not all elderly people are fortunate to be able to live with their families in their old age, this can be caused by a variety of things so that the elderly are placed in a nursing home. Nursing homes are a attention given by the government to the elderly. However, the lives of the elderly in the Nursing Home didn’t all go smoothly, according to a study conducted at the Griya Sehat Bahagia Nursing Home that 94.5% of the elderly had depression. Therefore it has become the duty of the orphanage to provide services for the elderly to assist the process of adaptation of the elderly by fulfilling the basic requirements for carrying out their lives (physical, psychological and social conditions). This study uses the literature study method. And from the studies, it was found that the service efforts of the elderly have been regulated in law number 13 (1998) article 3 which states that efforts to improve elderly social welfare include the implementation of physical, mental, skill and social guidance services. It all includes all aspects needed by the elderly to fulfill the aspects needed to adapt.Key Words : Elderly, Adapt, Nursing Home, Nursing Home Services.

Elderly Parents

Traditional norms of filial piety in Asian societies, including Vietnam, emphasise care roles of children for their elderly parents. In particular, caregiving is often the responsibility of women, who are increasingly migrating and participating in the labour market, leading to an increasing withdrawal of family caregivers from caring for their parents. In collaboration with local mass organisations and stakeholders, Vietnam is enhancing institutional care and changing the balance of care towards home, community-based services and marketisation to provide alternative care options for its elderly population. The community is playing a key role in emotional support for the elderly. Taking into account the traditional Confucian-influenced family structure, the responsibility for elderly care is still a family matter. Using a dataset from a collaboration survey of 307 elderly people in 2017, the paper aims to examine and analyse roles, challenges and difficulties of family, community, private and public social services and policy in care provision to the elderly and the gaps in it, to understand the processes of the reconstruction of those formal and informal sectors in order to bear the increasing care responsibilities, and the ways they provide care to the elderly and the linkages with policies and institutional in Vietnam, using the care diamond model. The paper also raises issues of increasing left-behind elderly people in the rural areas and identifies various initiations to sustain Asian cultural values, family relationships, and continuous development of care policies and potential implications in developing a better care mode for the elderly.
