Risk Factors Associated with Disability among Elderly with Stroke in Indonesia: A Secondary Data Analysis of 2018 National Basic Health Research

Abstract

Introduction: According to the 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas), the highest prevalence of stroke occurs among the elderly group. On the other hand, the proportion of disability among the elderly with stroke was highest compared to the elderly with another disease. Disabled elderly resulted in a high burden of care. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors associated with disability among the elderly with stroke in Indonesia.Methods: This cross-sectional study uses secondary data from Riskesdas 2018. The sample was all elderly aged ≥60 years in Indonesia that participated in the Riskesdas 2018 who diagnosed with stroke by a doctor and met the inclusion criteria (2439 samples). This study employed chi-square and logistic regression.Results: The risk factors associated with disability among the elderly with stroke were older age, having a low education level, living in a rural area, not being obese, having a mental emotional disorder, having no smoking history, and less physical activity. Multivariate analysis showed that less physical activity (PR=18.097; 95%CI=7.306-44.825), low level of education (PR=3.555; 95%CI=1.616-7.823), mental emotional disorders (PR=1.942; 95%CI=1.262-2.988) were the risk factors of disability among elderly with stroke. Being obese (PR= 0.578; 95%CI=0.345-0.970), having a joint disease (PR=0.546; 95%CI=0.311-0.958), and having a smoking history (PR=0.461; 95%CI=0.280-0.759) were the protective factors of disability among elderly with stroke.Conclusion: Physical rehabilitation and mental-emotional disorder treatment have important roles in preventing disability among the elderly with stroke

The Correlation Between Caregivers Burden and Quality of Life Among Family Caregivers of Stroke Survivors: The Mediating Role of Resilience

“…1 Stroke can significantly impact the disability in Activities of Daily Living (ADL), alter roles and functions within the family, lead to changes in social interactions, and result in reduced employment opportunities. 2,3 Family caregivers (FCs) have roles and responsibilities in taking care of the member of the family who suffers from stroke. Several studies have elucidated that the scope of Caregiver Burden (CB) encompasses the strain experienced by individuals caring for a disabled family member.…”

Relationship of Characteristics Adults Post-Stroke On Increasing Muscle Strength Rehabilitation In Bukittinggi City 2023

“…One way of recovery for stroke patients is through physical therapy, namely Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) exercises. (Yanti & Santik, 2022) Programmed exercises will influence the results, namely achieving an increase in muscle strength after the intervention is given. Non-compliance with control in stroke patients is caused by various behavioral factors and is a major risk factor that can increase the risk of recurrent stroke.…”
