Pasien Covid-19 dengan diabetes memiliki tingkat kematian yang tinggi, yaitu 7,8% dibandingkan pasien Covid-19 non diabetes. Puskesmas Cilacap Tengah 1 memiliki jumlah pasien diabetes terbanyak di Kabupaten Cilacap. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini dilakukan dalam dua tahap yaitu edukasi dan pendampingan kader posyandu lansia tentang manajemen diri lansia dengan DM. Sebagai langkah awal, penulis memberikan edukasi tentang manajemen diri DM kepada kader yang dihadiri oleh 19 orang kader perwakilan dari posyandu lansia yang ada di Kelurahan Sidanegara Kecamatan Cilacap Tengah. Hasil analisa data menunjukkan ada peningkatan pengetahuan kader tentang manajemen diri diabetes, dilihat dari nilai rata-rata pre-test 70,4 yang naik menjadi 76,5 pada nilai rata-rata post-test, dimana selisih nilai pre-test dan post-test adalah 6 poin. Kader juga mendapatkan buku manajemen diri DM sebagai buku pedoman. Sedangkan kegiatan pendampingan kader di posyandu lansia masih menunggu ijin dari pemerintah daerah Cilacap, karena selama pandemi Covid-19 kegiatan posyandu masih ditutup. Abstract: Covid-19 patients with diabetes have a high mortality rate, which is 7,8% compared to non-diabetic covid-19 patients. Central Cilacap Health Center 1 has the highest number of diabetes patients in the Cilacap Regency.

Care For The Elderly

Processes of privatization in home care for the elderly in Denmark have primarily taken the form of outsourcing public-care provisions. The content and quality of services have in principle remained the same, but the providers of services have changed. The welfare state has continued to bear the major responsibility for the provision of elderly care, while outsourcing has allowed clients to choose between public and private providers of care. The major aim of outsourcing has been to empower the frail elderly by providing them with exit-opportunities through a construction of this group as consumers of welfare-state provisions. The central government in Denmark has produced the public-service reform, but the municipalities bear the administrative and financial responsibility for care for the elderly. Further, national policymakers have decided that local authorities (municipalities) must provide to individuals requiring care the opportunities to choose. With this background in mind, this article analyses how national, top-down ideas and the ‘politics of choice' have created tensions locally in the form of municipal resistance and blockages. The article draws on case studies in two Danish municipalities, whereby central politicians and administrative leaders have been interviewed. We have identified four areas of tensions: 1) those between liberal and libertarian ideas and values versus local political orientations and practices; 2) new tensions and lines of demarcation among political actors, where old political conflicts no longer holds; 3) tensions between promises and actual delivery, due to insufficient control of private contractors; and 4) those between market principles and the professional ethics of care providers.

This study aims to summarise the characteristics of elderly care system and analyse expenditures of healthcare for the elderly in Shanghai. The authors use medical records of 2015 and health account results of 2014 based on System of Health Accounts 2011 to describe the pattern of care expenditures for elderly. Individuals aged 60 years and above account for 19.5 per cent of Shanghai’s population but utilise 52.2 per cent of all outpatient visits and 45.3 per cent of all hospitalisations. Almost two-thirds of their medical expenditures occur in hospitals and 16 per cent in community health centres, corresponding to the status of resource allocation. The out-of-pocket payment ratio of the elderly is lower than that of the younger adults, which is attributable to the preferential reimbursement polices set by the insurance schemes. The leading causes of expenditures are cardiovascular disease, neoplasms and respiratory diseases. Care for the elderly costs more, and the elderly use more services than other age groups. The article recommends the monitoring of irrational utilisation of services, strengthening of primary level care and integration of services across different facilities to streamline care for elderly in Shanghai.

Abstract Objective: to analyze the proposal of an action plan created by nurses to deal with difficulties in caring for the elderly. The aim of the present study was therefore to analyze the difficulties that family caregivers find in relation to access to services, material resources and the support network when meeting the care needs of the elderly in accordance with Brazilian public policy. Method: the methodology of participatory research and content analysis proposed by Bardin was used. The context was the Geriatric service of a university hospital. The group of co-researchers included eight nurses and 12 caregivers of elderly people with dementia. Results: the following categories emerged from the analysis: contradictions and work proposals. The contradictions category revealed reflections about the difference between the proposed care for the elderly and the reality of a lack of care and the precarious conditions of health services. This situation leads to overburdening of caregivers. The work proposals refer to the strategies used by nurses to establish a relationship of support to family caregivers to cope with the difficulties involved in care for the elderly. Conclusion: nurses recognize that they are professionals capable of receiving, listening to and managing the needs of family caregivers of the elderly, thus promoting the health of the elderly and the caregivers themselves, preparing the family of the patient for home care and coping with difficulties experienced in elderly care.

In Nigeria, it is expected that children take care of their parents in their old age. However, it is increasingly becoming more difficult for children to cater for their aged parents who are not economically buoyant. Because of filial piety, the idea of putting one’s parents in an institution like old people’s home is an anathema for most people. Yet the need for such homes and other specialized care for the elderly is obvious in the light of the burden being experienced by women who are the major primary caregivers. This study of an Old People’s Home in Kano revealed that other than the accommodation and feeding provided, there are no specialized programmes and facilities to cater for the physical, mental and social needs of the elderly. Gender segregation is enforced but no consideration is given to differences in age, physical and developmental challenges. This highlights the urgent need for the Nigerian government to take more proactive measures in its policy on ageing by making provisions for long-term care facilities, residential arrangements with assisted living facilities, and adult day care centres with competent personnel.

The number of elderly (60-70 years old until death) in Indonesia increases from year to year. In the elderly phase, individuals begin to experience decreased physical function, cognition and relationships with friends. Thus, it is likely that the psychological well-being of the elderly will decline with declined life satisfaction and contribution to their community as the indicators. This community service activity aimed to help the elderly increase their happiness by providing wellness counseling services for 7 sessions (7 weeks). Through the wellness counseling services, the elderly were invited to evaluate their current lifestyle through self-discovery and to design and apply a new, holistic healthy lifestyle (physical-mental-social health) in order to live a life by maximizing self-actualization and contribution to the society. Henceforth the elderly will feel more satisfied with their lives and happier (the state of psychological well-being increases).

To update our understanding of the status of elderly health care within the context of the Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office’s Strategy Paper on Elderly Care (1995), a short questionnaire was sent to all Member States of the Region, except Afghanistan and Somalia. The questionnaire sought information on the proportion of the elderly in the population, the status of health care and the level of economic, social, cultural and physical assistance available to the elderly. Of the 21 countries in the survey, 18 (86%) responded. The findings of the survey are discussed here under the headings of demography, national policies on elderly care, social benefits, health care, social and community services, economic burden and the role of the non-government sector
