ASUHAN KEPERAWATAN PADA LANSIA YANG MENGALAMI GANGGUAN KEAMANAN DENGAN MASALAH KEPERAWATAN RISIKO JATUH

As humans age, a degenerative aging process occurs which will have an impact on changes in humans. As elderly people age, the body's muscle strength will slowly weaken. This condition causes elderly people to lose body strength and balance, making them fall easily. This muscle weakness can worsen in elderly people who do not exercise enough and experience joint inflammation. The aim of this research is to carry out nursing actions to prevent falls in elderly people with nursing problems who are at risk of falling with nursing management interventions modified with ROM exercises and balance exercises.
The method used in this research is the problem solving method using a nursing approach. The sample used was an elderly person who had a high potential for falling at UPT PSTW Magetan Regency. This research was carried out on February 8-15 2024.
The focus data obtained from the muscle strength examination were the right upper and lower extremities 5 and 4, the left upper and lower extremities 5 and 3. The balance value stated that Mrs. In part, during the nursing care, Mrs. S did not experience a fall, but Mrs. S was in a condition that was at high risk of falling due to degenerative factors, namely decreased muscle strength.
With this research, it is hoped that this will provide information so that the elderly can carry out prevention and know how to minimize the risk of falls from occurring, namely by always wearing anti-slip socks, arranging the room so that it does not interfere with the PM's activities and always implementing active and passive ROM exercises and balance exercises that have been taught by the author for at least 15 minutes a day.
