The increasing number of the elderly causes complex problems for the elderly, families and communities. Physiological and psychological changes make the elderly feel useless, experience decreased motivation and independence. One of the efforts to increase the independence of the elderly in order to remain qualified is the application of therapeutic modalities in the form of occupational therapy and group psychotherapy. This study aims to determine the changes in the independence of the elderly before and after Ocupasi therapy and Group Psychotherapy at PSTW Sabai Nan Aluih Sic Cincin, Padang Pariaman Regency. The study used a quantitative approach with "Quasi Experimental pre and post test with control group which was held from March to November 2019. The study sample was 63 elderly people who were taken by purposive sampling." The research instrument used the Katz AD Index. Data analysis used Paired sample t-test and Independent t test. The increase in the average independence of the dementia elderly was greater in the elderly who were given Ocupasi therapy and Group Psychotherapy by 18.83 compared to those who received Ocupasi therapy of 7,121. Conclusion The elderly who received occupational therapy and group psychotherapy experienced an increase in independence compared to the elderly who only received occupational therapy.

Hypertension is a condition that is often experienced by the elderly. By increasing age resulting in increased blood pressure, the arterial wall in the elderly will experience thickening which results in the accumulation of collagen in the muscle layer. So that the blood vessels will gradually narrow and become stiff . To avoid or reduce the risk of collagen and atherosclerosis accumulation which is one of the causes of hypertension, regular exercise is needed. Elderly gymnastics is a series of regular and directed and planned tones of movement that are followed by the elderly in the form of physical exercises that affect the physical abilities of the elderly which will help the body stay fit and stay fresh. It keeps bones strong and helps eliminate free radicals wandering in the body and can flex blood vessels. This research is a kind of quasi-experimental research with a pre and post test without control design. This research was conducted in Darussalam, Aceh Besar. Blood pressure is measured using a sphygmomanometer, a statistical test used by Non-parametric. To see blood pressure before and after elderly exercise using the t-test. After doing elderly gymnastics for six times in 2 weeks, there are differences in the value of blood pressure in the elderly before and after elderly gymnastics with a p-value of 0.000. Thus, it is expected that elderly gymnastics can be used as an alternative nursing action in handling hypertension, especially in the elderly. Abstrak Hipertensi merupakan suatau keadaan yang sering dialami oleh lansia, dengan bertambahnya umur mengakibatkan tekanan darah meningkat, karena dinding arteri pada usia lanjut (lansia) akan mengalami penebalan yang mengakibatkan penumpukan zat kolagen pada lapisan otot, sehingga pembuluh darah akan berangsur-angsur menyempit dan menjadi kaku. Untuk menghindari atau menurunkan resiko penumpukan zat kolagen dan aterosklerosis yang merupakan salah satu penyebab hipertensi, maka diperlukan olahraga yang teratur. Senam lansia merupakan serangkaian gerak nada yang teratur dan terarah serta terencana yang diikuti oleh orang lanjut usia dalam bentuk latihan fisik yang berpengaruh terhadap kemampuan fisik lansia, yang akan membantu tubuh agar tetap bugar dan tetap segar karena melatih tulang tetap kuat dan membantu menghilangkan radikal bebas yang berkeliaran dalam tubuh  serta dapat melenturkan pembuluh darah. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian eksperimen semu (quasi experiment) dengan rancangan pre and post test without control. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kecamatan Darussalam Kabupaten Aceh Besar terhadap lansia yang mengalami hipertensi. Tekanan darah di ukur dengan menggunakan spigmomanometer, uji statistik yang digunakan Non-parametrik. Untuk melihat tekanan darah sebelum dan sesudah senam lansia menggunakan Uji t-test. Setelah dilakukan senam lansia selama enam (6) kali dalam waktu 2 (dua) minggu pada lansia yang mengalami hipertensi, secara umum terdapat perbedaan tekanan darah pada lansia sebelum dan sesudah senam lansia dengan p-value 0,000, dengan demikian diharapkan senam lansia ini dapat dijadikan sebagai salah satu alternatif tindakan keperawatan dalam penanganan hipertensi terutama pada lansia.

ABSTRACTBackground : Joint flexibility decreases in old age due to a degenerative process resulting in changes in joints, connective tissue and cartilage in the elderly. Decreasing flexibility is also due to reduced elasticity of muscle fibers, where connective tissue in muscle fibers increases (Mariyam, 2008).Objective : The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of active exercise (ROM) on the lower extremities on increasing the flexibility of the knee joint in the elderlyMethods : This study using a quasi-experimental approach with One group pre-test and post-test design. The sampling technique uses the Slovin method of 42 people, obtained a sample of 25 elderly. Exercise is done twice a day for 8 days. Measurements were made on day 1, day 4 and day 8 of the study using a Goniometer measuring instrument..Result : The results of measurement I average of the right knee joint 117.52o, measurement II = 122.24, measurement III = 126, 36o. From the analysis with Paired simple t-Test between the measurements I and II, it was found that the different test measurements I and II t count value was equal to -1.908 with 0.068. Because sig 0.05, it can be concluded that Ho is accepted, meaning that the average angle of ROM before and after training is the same (not different). In the different test measurements II and III the value of t count is equal to -2.152 with sig 0.042.Conclusion : Because sig 0.05, it can be concluded that Ho is rejected, meaning that there is a difference in ROM angle after training between days 4 to 8 with the first day to day 4. Thus it can be stated that active ROM exercises affect the angle of ROM of the knee joint elderly after exercise ROM between day 4 to day 8. Keywords: active ROM exercise, flexibility of knee joint, elderly.

Background: Communication in the intensive care setting (ICS) is critical for both the patient and the medical staff to provide efficient care and thus alleviate possible patient adverse effects. Persons with complex communication needs are particularly vulnerable in ICSs and therefore require additional communication support.Aim: This study focused on the perspectives of nurses about communication with patients with communication needs in ICSs using paper-based communication boards, namely the translated Vidatak EZ Board, before and after a training session.Setting: A 1650-bed public hospital with a 26-bed ICS in a semi-urban, low socio-economic area in South Africa served as the research setting.Methods: A quasi-experimental pre-test post-test group design with withdrawal and a control group was used. Data were gathered using a custom-designed questionnaire completed by ICS nurse participants recruited from a public hospital.Results: Responses of some nurses did not change in post-test 1, but their responses did change in post-test 2. Some of the nurses’ perspectives changed, as expected from the pre-test to post-test 1. Nurses recommended specific adaptations to the communication board.Conclusions: Most nurses agreed that communication is crucial in ICSs and that a communication board can be implemented; however, limited success was observed implementing the board following a short training. The inter-professional collaboration between nurses and speech-language therapists to provide optimal health care to patients in ICS is emphasised.
