Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought several challenges in managing the health of vulnerable groups, especially older adults. Health problems that arise and are experienced by older adults during the pandemic, one of which is psychosocial disorders caused by changes in daily activities, health services, social support, and perceptual disturbances experienced by older adults. Health workers are one of the parties that play a role in promoting healthy behavior and health information to vulnerable populations who often face inequality in the health sector. There are still many nurses who have minimal knowledge regarding the management of older adult health. The positive attitude shown when performing nursing care for the older adults group can be an opportunity to implement community service related to the concept of health in this group. The implementation of community service to 545 nurses was carried out on Saturday, August 14, 2021, through zoom media. The total number of nurses who participated was spread across 21 provinces in Indonesia. The results of the Wilcoxon test activities obtained the value of Sig. = 0.000 (< 0.05), which means that there are benefits to be gained from community service activities to increase nurses' understanding of the psychosocial needs of older adults during the pandemic. The role of health workers is one of the key factors in preventing the decline in psychosocial conditions in older adults. Therefore, activities aimed at increasing the understanding and knowledge of health workers related to problems in older adults need to be carried out sustainably and massively
ABSTRAK
Pandemi COVID-19 membawa beberapa tantangan dalam penatalaksanaan kesehatan kelompok rentan khususnya lanjut usia. Gangguan kesehatan yang muncul dan dialami oleh lansia selama pandemi salah satunya adalah gangguan psikososial yang diakibatkan karena adanya perubahan aktivitas sehari-hari, pelayanan kesehatan, dukungan sosial hingga gangguan persepsi yang dialami lansia. Tenaga kesehatan diketahui menjadi salah satu pihak yang berperan meningkatkan perilaku sehat pada populasi rentan yang sering kali menghadapi ketidakadilan di bidang kesehatan. Banyak perawat memiliki pengetahuan minim tentang penatalaksanaan kesehatan lansia. Namun. mereka bersikap positif ketika melakukan asuhan keperawatan. Situasi ini menjadi kesempatan dalam pelaksanaan pengabdian kepada masyarakat terkait konsep kesehatan pada kelompok lansia. Pelaksanaan pengabdian kepada masyarakat yang dilakukan kepada 545 perawat dilakukan pada Sabtu, 14 Agustus 2021 melalui media zoom. Total perawat yang menjadi peserta tersebar dari 21 provinsi di Indonesia. Hasil uji Wilcoxon kegiatan didapatkan nilai Sig. = 0.000 (< 0.05) yang menunjukkan ada manfaat yang didapat dari kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat untuk meningkatkan pemahaman perawat terhadap kebutuhan psikososial lansia di masa pandemi. Peran tenaga kesehatan menjadi salah satu faktor kunci dalam mencegah penurunan kondisi psikososial pada lansia, oleh karena itu kegiatan-kegiatan yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan pengetahuan tenaga kesehatan terkait permasalahan yang terjadi pada lansia perlu untuk dilakukan secara berkelanjutan dan masif.
