Ruang senja: edukasi dan pendampingan kesehatan mental untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan psikologis lansia di Desa Tlompakan
Downloads
Permasalahan kesehatan mental pada lansia di Dusun Tlompakan Krajan masih sering terabaikan akibat berbagai perubahan, seperti penurunan kondisi fisik, berkurangnya peran sosial, kehilangan pasangan, serta terbatasnya interaksi dengan keluarga. Kondisi tersebut memicu perasaan kesepian, kecemasan, dan kesedihan yang kerap dipendam. Minimnya ruang berbagi dan rendahnya literasi kesehatan mental menyebabkan lansia berisiko mengalami isolasi sosial serta penurunan kualitas hidup secara menyeluruh. Sebagai respons terhadap permasalahan tersebut, KKN GIAT 15 UNNES bersama Bidan Desa Tlompakan melaksanakan program Ruang Senja sebagai bentuk edukasi dan pendampingan kesehatan mental bagi lansia. Metode yang digunakan ceramah interaktif, diskusi dan berbagi pengalaman, permainan pengenalan emosi dan refleksi rasa syukur, serta praktik relaksasi menggunakan teknik pernapasan perut (deep breathing) dan butterfly hug. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan lansia hadir dan mengikuti seluruh rangkaian kegiatan, peserta mulai berani berbagi pengalaman dalam diskusi, peserta mampu memahami dan menjelaskan pentingnya menjaga kesehatan jiwa, serta sebagian besar lansia terlihat lebih rileks setelah sesi relaksasi. Program ini membantu lansia merasa lebih dihargai, tidak sendirian, dan termotivasi untuk tetap aktif secara sosial maupun emosional. Kegiatan Ruang Senja diharapkan menjadi langkah awal dalam membangun komunitas yang lebih peduli terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis lansia.
