ANALISIS FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG BERHUBUNGAN DENGAN RISIKO JATUH PADA LANSIA YANG TINGGAL DIRUMAH
Abstract: Elderly was the
final stage of human life growth that various physical and psychosocial
changes. One result of these changes was the risk of falling. The risk of
falling in the elderly influenced by intrinsic factors and extrinsic factors. This
study aims to determine the factors associated with the risk of falling in the
elderly who live at home in the work area of Limapuluh Community Health Center.
The design of this research is correlation research design with cross sectional
approach. The sample of the study was 96 people taken based on inclusion
criteria using Proportionate stratified random sampling technique. The results
showed the majority of research subjects aged 60-74 years as much as 86.5%,
female sex as much as 81.2%, the majority of elderly have a history of
hypertension disease as much as 36.5%. The intrinsic showed that elderly with
58.3% heart disorder, 69.8% motion disorder, 56.3% neurological disorder,
visual impairment 67.7%, hearing loss 39.6% and extrinsic factor showed that
elderly using tool walking aids 34.4% and environment at risk 45.8%. High risk
elderly fell 46.9%, moderate risk 25.0%, didn’t risk 28.1%. The result of
chi-square test showed that the factors that related to fall risk were
intrinsic including heart disorders p = 0.006, limb disruption p = 0.002,
neurological disorders p = 0,024, visual disturbance p = 0,004, hearing loss p
= 0,007 and it includes walking aids p = 0,000, environment p = 0.003. So it
could be concluded that intrinsic factors and extrinsic factors are factors
that are closely related to the risk of falling in the elderly. The older the
elderly, the more risky the fall.
