Abstract

Abstract BACKGROUND: Elderly with dementia through a decline in degenerative brain function is characterized by a progressive loss of memory function and other cognitive abilities, the number of which is increasing in almost all countries. Dementia is a degenerative disease that requires long-term treatment, experienced by a number of the elderly population (over 60 years) (Vega et al., 2018). Dementia can ultimately affect social activities so that in general, it affects the independence of the elderly in daily activities. METHODS: The research design used in this research is descriptive analytical research design. The population involved in this study is the elderly in Surabaya, Indonesia, which is also the research sample for those who meet the criteria. These criteria include the elderly who are 60 years old, the elderly who are registered at the Community Health Center or Integrated Service Post, are diagnosed with dementia, do not include confirmed cases of COVID19, live with family, have family members with a minimum high school education of at least 20 years, have and are able to operate Android mobile media, and do not suffer from complications. The sampling technique used in this study was simple random sampling with 100 respondents. RESULTS: There are three levels of independence for the elderly with dementia, namely, low independence as many as 35 respondents (35%), moderate independence as many as 51 respondents (51%), and high independence as many as 14 respondents (14%). These results are influenced by the characteristics of the elderly, family factors, and health services. CONCLUSION: Furthermore, the most of the level of independence of the elderly is moderate independence. It is hoped that the elderly can increase their level of independence. The role of various lines is needed to support this including families and health workers, but the role of the elderly itself is also an important point to increase the independence of the elderly.
