Improving the Health of the Elderly through Intergenerational Service Model Interventions for the Elderly: A Quasi-Experimental Study
Abstract
Introduction: Empowering the potential of the elderly to transform cultural values for the younger generation remains a challenge in Indonesia. The Association between generations of different ages has not been harmonious. The development of an intergenerational service model for the elderly is one approach to improve harmonization between the elderly and younger generations. Intergenerational activity is associated with positive outcomes for the elderly, including being healthier, having fewer pain complaints, and being more active. This may lead to higher energy consumption. This study aimed to determine the effect of the intergenerational service model for the elderly in improving health status, social interaction, and life satisfaction.
