Abstract

The elderly are at risk of stress because of the physical, psychological, and social changes that they experience. Intervention is needed to increase the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual life qualities of the elderly. One of the interventions is stress management, taught through health education by using the mental health smart book (Buku Pintar Sehat Jiwa Lansia/ BISAA). This study aimed to analyze the effect of BISAA in increasing the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual qualities in the elderly. A Quasi-experiment research design was used in this study. The target population were 744 elderly people; the affordable population were 80 elderly people and the sample comprised of 16 elderly selected by purposive sampling. The independent variable was health education with BISAA. The dependent variables were the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual qualities of life. Data were collected using a questionnaire regarding physical, psychological, social, and spiritual qualities. The study was analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and the Mann Whitney U test with a significance level of p≤0.05. The results from the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test indicated that physical quality p = 0.014, psychological quality p = 0.011, social quality p = 0.020, and spiritual quality p=0.008. In addition, the statistical test results from the Mann Whitney U test for physical quality indicated p = 0.028, psychological quality p = 0.012, social quality p = 0.020, and spiritual quality p = 0.014. Based on these results, it can be concluded that BISAA can increase the physical, psychological, social and spiritual qualities in elders, the most dominant of which is the psychological quality. Further research is expected to analyze the effect of BISAA to increase the environment quality for the elderly.
