SCREENING DISFAGIA PADA LANSIA DI KOTA BANDA ACEH
ABSTRAK
Disfagia atau gangguan dalam kemampuan menelan menjadi salah satu masalah yang sering kali tidak disadari keadaannya hingga dapat menyebabkan komplikasi serius seperti malnutrisi, dehidrasi, dan pneumonia aspirasi jika tidak terdeteksi dini. Oleh karena itu, upaya screening pada lansia sangat diperlukan untuk mengidentifikasi siapa saja yang beresiko mengalami masalah agar mendapatkan penanganan segera. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeteksi disfagia pada lansia di Kota Banda Aceh. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain cross-sectional study. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 165 lansia yang dipilih menggunakan teknik Accidental Sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui kuesioner Swallowing Disturbance Questionnaire (SDQ). Penentuan besar sampel menggunakan rumus Cochran dengan nilai proporsi penelitian sebelumnya yaitu 11%. Hasil Penelitian menunjukkan 91,5% lansia memiliki skor SDQ rendah, sedangkan 98,8% tidak mengalami disfagia dan 1,2 terindentifikasi mengalami disfagia. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan kepada tenaga kesehatan untuk selalu memperhatikan pelaksanaan screening rutin sebagai langkah preventif dalam mendeteksi dan menangani disfagia pada lansia secara optimal.

Therefore, screening efforts among the elderly are essential to identify individuals sat risk and provide prompt intervention. This study aimed to detect dysphagia among the elderly in Banda Aceh. The research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design. The sample consisted of 165 elderly individuals selected using accidental sampling techniques. Data were collected using the Swallowing Disturbance Questionnaire (SDQ). Sample size determination utilized Cochran's formula with a proportion value from previous research of 11%. Results indicated that 91.5% of the elderly scored low on the SDQ, 98.8% were not identified as having dysphagia, and 1.2% were identified as experiencing dysphagia. The study recommends that healthcare providers prioritize regular screening as a preventive measure to detect and address dysphagia optimally in the elderly population.
