“…Compared to another study carried out in Java in 2010, the results are similar with 68.4% of the elderly rated as being in good health [ 21 ]. The percentage of elderly showing possible signs of depression was 24.9%, slightly higher than what was observed in 2007 [ 22 ]. In terms of ADL functions, 14.4% indicated that they had difficulty in at least one of the five ADL functions.…”

BackgroundElderly people tend to have greater healthcare utilization because of their health status. However, with the 4th largest population in the world, little is known concerning the use of services among the Indonesian elderly. Hence, this study aimed to identify factors related to the use of outpatient services among the Indonesian elderly.MethodsThis is cross sectional study using data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey 5 (IFLS 5), conducted in 2014 and 2015. Only those who were 60 years or older were included in the analyses. We used a logistic regression analysis to determine factors associated with use of outpatient services.ResultsAmong 2912 participants, only 22.7% of respondents had visited health workers or doctors within the previous 4 weeks before the survey. After controlling for other variables, factors associated with the use of outpatient services were socioeconomic status, insurance status, regions of residence, self-rated health, and the number of chronic conditions.ConclusionInequality in outpatient services was observed among the elderly in Indonesia. More effort is need to expand insurance coverage for the elderly, particularly for those in the lower economic status, and to improve access to outpatient services in rural regions by allocating the needed resources.

“…For instance, 2-4% of the geriatric population suffers from mood disorders (Loue & Sajatovic, 2008), and the World Health Organization (2016) reports that 7% of the geriatric population suffers from depression. In Indonesia, the prevalence of depressive symptoms, as suggested by data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey, was 7.2% among older individuals (Mahwati, 2017).…”

In the social epidemiology field, social capital plays an important role as a determinant of a population's mental health. Despite the vast number of studies on this issue, few have been conducted among the aging Indonesian population. This study is intended to investigate this association using a multilevel approach on a sample of 2,496 older adults. The data come from the 5th wave of the Indonesian Family Life Survey. The results revealed that taking into account cluster-specific random effects, social trust at the individual level predicted decreased depression among older adults only before adjusting for control variables. Neighborhood safety emerged as the only indicator of social capital that predicted reduced depression of elders after adjusting for control variables. In addition, high levels of poverty at the community level were associated with increased depression, and having completed senior high school, being healthy, and doing physical activity frequently were consistently associated with reduced depression across all models. In conclusion, living in a safe community with reduced levels of poverty might be protective factors against depression for older adults.

PurposeThis study aimed to investigate the effect of religious intervention on depressive symptoms and quality of life (QOL) among Indonesian elderly in nursing homes (NHs).Patients and methodsThis was a quasi-experimental study with repeated measures. Sixty elderly residents at three NHs in three districts in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, with the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) score of 5–11 were recruited and purposively assigned to the religious intervention group (combining 36 sessions of listening to Qur’anic recital and 3 sessions of attending a sermon by a preacher, n=30) and the control group (treatment as usual/TAU, n=30). The primary outcome was depression, measured by a short form GDS questionnaire. The QOL as the secondary outcome was assessed by the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)-BREF Indonesian version. Both groups were evaluated at the baseline, 4th, 8th, and 12th week after the interventions were performed.ResultsIn both groups, there were statistically significant reductions in depression scores after the 12-week intervention (P<0.001). There was also a statistically significant improvement in QOL mean scores in both intervention and control groups at the 12-week post-intervention. However, the religious intervention group showed a greater decrease in depressive symptoms and a greater improvement in the QOL mean scores than those in the control group. There was a statistically significant difference in geriatric depression and QOL mean scores between groups at the 4th, 8th, and 12th week post-interventions.ConclusionsIt can be concluded that religious-based intervention has a greater impact on relieving depressive symptoms and increasing the QOL amongst elderly NH residents.
