Abstrak
Kondisi lingkungan khas pesisir Desa Kalibuntu yang kurang terjaga kebersihannya, serta seringnya terjadi banjir rob di wilayah ini menjadikan tingkat kesehatan lingkungan di Desa Kalibuntu bermasalah. Banjir menyebabkan air pada aliran sungai dan sumur warga menjadi keruh disertai penyebaran sampah di mana-mana. Dalam hal kesehatan lansia, warga mengandalkan keberadaan polindes sebagai akses tercepat dan mudah dalam mendapatkan layanan kesehatan yang terdekat dan terjangkau secara finansial. Dari kerjasama kami dengan polindes dan layanan posyandu lansia, lansia di desa ini cukup rentan terhadap penyakit seputar pernafasan, stroke, kolesterol, asam urat, dan darah tinggi. Penyakit ini dipicu oleh kondisi lingkungan yang tidak sehat serta kurangnya kemampuan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan isi dan nutrisi harian. Untuk membantu usaha kesehatan lansia, tidak terlepas dari peran keluarga. Dari perspektif masyarakat, keluarga adalah sistem dasar tempat prilaku kesehatan dan perawatan diatur, dilakukan, dan dijalankan. Dengan kondisi ini tim pengabdian kepada masyarakat memutuskan untuk melakukan serangkaian kegiatan sosial dengan tujuan 1) Menyusun seperangkat kegiatan sosial untuk melakukan Pemeriksaan Dini terhadap Kondisi Kesehatan Lansia, dan 2) Menyusun seperangkat kegiatan sosial untuk melakukan Sosialisasi Perawatan Lansia, “Lansia Sehat”, kepada Keluarga lansia. Kegiatan ini diharapkan untuk memberikan manfaat berupa : 1) Memenuhi kebutuhan data yang faktual dan “by the time” mengenai kondisi kesehatan dan problem kesehatan lansia, 2) Data dapat dimanfaatkan oleh tenaga kesehatan dan pihak pengampu kebijakan kesehatan setempat untuk melakukan tindakan antisipatif untuk mengindari masalah kesehatan yang lebih besar atau tindakan responsif untuk segera mengatasi masalah kesehatan lansia, 3) Kegiatan sosialisasi dimaksudkan untuk memberikan edukasi bagi keluarga lansia mengenai pentingnya kesigapan dan pengetahuan terhadap kesehatan lansia, 4) Kegiatan sosialisasi diharapkan dapat secara nyata dapat meringankan tugas tenaga kesehatan dan pihak pengampu kebijakan kesehatan di Desa Kalibuntu, Kraksaan, Kabupaten Probolinggo.
