Upaya Peningkatan Quality Of Life Para Lanjut Usia Di Masa Pandemi Covid-19”

Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, physical social interaction restrictions were imposed on the mental health of the elderly. All activities that involve the presence of many people are avoided, so that the elderly no longer have a place to interact and communicate with each other, including with peers, one of which is the Elderly Posyandu (Indarwati, 2020). Therefore, many elderly people feel lonely during this pandemic. This affects the mental health of the elderly. One of the efforts to overcome this is through giving attention from distant families such as children who are wandering. This attention is in the form of communicating and interacting through communication media. So there needs to be someone who facilitates online communication for the elderly with relatives to minimize the feeling of loneliness experienced by the elderly.
