Perceived burden in adult and pre-elderly informal caregiver
No full textPurpose: Nowadays, caregiver’s role becomes increasingly important in providing care and support for old people who suffered from chronic diseases. Adult and pre-elderly informal caregiver have different growth and development tasks. It is important to identify their perceived burden. The aim of this research was to compare informal caregiver’s perceived burden between adults and pre-elderly.
Method: This research was conducted in Sukoharjo Village between March – December 2023. Research design was cross sectional design and simple random sampling technique was used. Total respondent was 74 persons and categorized into adults and pre-elderly group. The instrument of this research was The Informal Caregiver Burden Assessment Questionnaire (QASCI-The Questionario de Avaliacao de Sobrecarga do Cuidador Informal) which has been tested for validity and reliability.
Result: Significant differences was found between adults and pre-elderly perceived burden (p=0.000). Adults standard deviation was 25,28 higher compared to pre-elderly standard deviation. This was meant that adult perceived burden was greater than pre-elderly.
Conclusion: Adult informal caregiver’s perceived burden was greater than pre-elderly. They have more responsibilities such as taking care of the household, earn living, and educate their children. Good coping mechanisms and family support are needed to overcome the excessive stressors due to caring process
Seismic Performance of Instant Steel Frame House for Post Earthquake Reconstruction
No full textEarthquakes in Indonesia revealed that the majority of the destroyed buildings were community dwellings. For instance, the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake itself caused 390,077 houses collapsed. The recent earthquakes in 2018 that happened in Lombok and Palu again caused 83,392, and 68,451 houses collapsed, respectively. Those collapsed houses were dominated by brick masonry wall type houses, which caused thousands of casualties in each major earthquake. This is due to the fact that the dwellings were not built properly, and this type of system is considered brittle. The casualties were caused mainly by the falling debris of the brick masonry walls. Recently new types of houses are introduced for the reconstruction after the earthquakes to satisfy the slogan Built Back Better. One of the newly introduced types of houses is called Instant Steel Frame House with the Indonesian acronym RISBA that can be built only within several days. The main steel frames of RISBA are made of double canal CNP 95 × 33 × 10 × 1.8 profile. This paper discusses the seismic performance of RISBA by using pushover analysis with SAP 2000 software. To take into account the material non-linearity, flexural plastic hinges were inserted in the frames. Pushover analysis results show that RISBA will respond almost elastically even in the very high seismic region like Palu City in Indonesia. In 2018 experience a big earthquake because especially the RISBA is very light. It is noted that adequate anchorages must be provided in the tie beams to prevent the locking mechanism. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd
