“Marning” Mattress Innovation: Yogyakarta’s Elderly Healthier

, ,

PKM Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta has once again provided innovations to improve the quality of life of the community. This time, UNISA Yogyakarta’s community service team focused on elderly health by introducing “Marning”, a special mattress for proning position. The proning position, which is lying face down, is known to effectively reduce shortness of breath, especially in patients with respiratory disorders.

Innovation

The proning position does provide significant benefits, but it is often uncomfortable and difficult for patients, especially the elderly. Seeing this, the Unisa lecturer team consisting of Luluk Rosida S.ST., M.KM, Eny Fitriadi S.ST M.Kes, and Andry Ariyanto M.Fis, developed the “Marning” mattress which is ergonomically designed and easy to use.

“This ‘Marning’ mat is not only comfortable, but also safe and affordable. In addition, patients can do it independently at home,” said Luluk, one of the researchers.

The PKM UNISA team also collaborated with the IT team to develop an oxygen saturation checking tool that is integrated with a mobile-based application. That way, patients and health workers can monitor oxygen levels regularly and more easily.

“This innovation is expected to provide convenience for the elderly in managing their respiratory conditions,” added Danur Wijayanto M.Cs., a member of the IT team.

The application of the “Marning” mattress innovation at Posyandu Lansia Griya `Aisyiyah Baiturahmah Patangpuluhan Yogyakarta was welcomed enthusiastically by the elderly. They feel more comfortable and confident in doing proning positions.

“I feel more relieved after trying this mattress. My shortness of breath is reduced,” said one of the elderly participants.
The research and development of the “Marning” mattress received full support from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemdikbudristek) through funding in 2024. This shows that the government strongly supports innovation efforts that have a direct impact on society.

Fighting Stunting, UNISA and `Aisyiyah Health Assembly Collaborate

,

To fight stunting, Aisyiyah University (UNISA) Yogyakarta lecturers, namely Suryani, S. Kep., Ns. M.Med.Ed, Agil Dhiemitra Aulia Dewi, S.Gz., MPH and Andhita Dyorita Kh., S.Psi, M.Psi, Psychologist have carried out Community Service Grant Community Partnership Program (PKM) Directorate of Research, Technology, and Community Service (DRTPM) Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology Year 2024. The team, which is also the management of the Aisyiyah Health Assembly, carries the KISS Innovation for Empowering Stunting Self-Help Mother Groups as Handling Stunting Cases in the Aisyiyah Moyudan Sleman Yogyakarta Mother Group.

Fighting Stunting

The program began with training for the Stunting Self-Help Mother Group which was held Friday-Saturday, September 13-14, 2024 at KB Ananda Barepan, Sumber Rahayu, Moyudan Sleman. The training was attended by 16 mothers of toddlers and 6 Makes Moyudan administrators with material on the use of stunting mats for child growth detection, nutrition management exercises with a variety of local food menus, the use of diary meal plans for nutrition planning, and happy parenting with stress management. The training was completed with the provision of child growth detection media assistance packages and nutrition assistance for toddlers.

This program is a follow-up to the Nutrition assistance program by the Health Assembly of Aisyiyah D.I Yogyakarta Regional Leadership with Lazizmu DIY which has been provided since 2023. Managing the problem of stunting apart from nutritional assistance also requires the ability of mothers not only related to the type of menu but also the correct way of processing and healthy presentation to optimize children’s nutritional absorption, train parenting and stress management so that the role and resilience of mothers is more optimal and supports a positive atmosphere for child development and happy parents.

The program, which involves students from all three study programs, targets mothers as the main environmental factor that plays a role in child development. So that in this program, in addition to increasing the ability of mothers to manage stunting problems, the empowerment of the KISS Stunting Self-Help Mother Group is expected to optimize the role of mothers who have succeeded in dealing with stunting problems as a support group / support system for other mothers who are currently still experiencing stunting problems. This is the flagship of the KISS Swabantu Stunting program innovation.

This breakthrough was welcomed enthusiastically by the Moyudan Health Assembly Management and the fostered mother group. They claimed to have gained a lot of new experience and knowledge. In addition, with the KISS program, the fostered mothers are increasingly aware that the problem of stunting is not only a matter of diet, but also very much related to parenting, positive communication patterns and also healthy emotional management. The program evaluation showed positive results with an increase in the mother’s ability and readiness as a support group for the Stunting program.

Collaboration between Nursing, Nutrition and Psychology with synergy with Aisyiyah is an approach to be able to maximize the National Health Program by empowering groups of mothers to be more aware of the importance of nutrition, healthy parenting and stress management in fighting stunting.Tags:aisyiyah, banggamenjadiunisa, beunisa, stunting, unisayogya
