ABSTRACT
The elderly population is continuously increasing globally, in line with advancements in healthcare and the rising life expectancy. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics of Indonesia (2023), the elderly population in Indonesia reached about 10.5% of the total population in 2023, amounting to approximately 29.3 million people, placing Indonesia as the 9th largest in the world. With the increasing life expectancy, various health problems begin to emerge among the elderly. Addressing these health issues requires multiple factors, including proper medical care, a healthy lifestyle, access to healthcare services, and the utilization of Posyandu. This study is a descriptive research aimed at understanding the family support for the elderly in visiting Posyandu within the working area of Puskesmas Muara Enim. The study was conducted from January to August 2024. Data collection took place from August 16-19, 2024, at Posyandu in the working area of Puskesmas Muara Enim. The population in this study consisted of all elderly individuals who visited the Posyandu Lansia (Saka Jaya) in the working area of Puskesmas Muara Enim in May 2024, totaling 65 people. An initial survey was conducted with 5 elderly individuals, resulting in 60 respondents during the actual study. The sample in this study was selected using the total sampling technique. Data were analyzed univariately by describing the data obtained. The results showed that more than half of the respondents had low family support (51.7%) in utilizing Posyandu in the working area of Puskesmas Muara Enim. Puskesmas Muara Enim is expected to increase its efforts in educating families about the importance of supporting the elderly in participating in Posyandu activities. This can be achieved through more intensive educational programs, both directly and through media information.
