People of more than sixty years of age known as elderlies or “Lansia” (bahasa

Indonesia). The number of elderlies in millennial era are increasing and they have

potential to live better and longer. The Covid-19 pandemic is fear haunted elderlies

of high blood pressure that make them anxiety to come to the Puskesmas of North

Kuta for having Health Control (Checking-up). Physically the elderlies are

decreasing progressively such as the strength of mussels, arm strength mussels

decrease for about 16-40%, and physical coordination is also decreasing, so they need

for elderlies at the waiting room of Puskesmas of North Kuta. The objective of this

research is to identify the ideal anthropometry chairs for elderlies and to design

prototype chairs for elderlies at the waiting room of Puskesmas North Kuta. The

method used is the basic measurement anthropometry and to measure the tiredness

of Nordic body map. This research used a pre-experimental oe grup pre-tes,post test

design a prototype of priority chairs for elderly people in the waiting room of the

Community Health Center. The priority chairs for elderlies are made based on the

measurement of elderlies when sitting: height of elbows when sitting; height of

popliteal; width of hip and height of shoulders when sitting. Conclusions: Every

elderly has the right to get the comfortable facilities when doing the activities and

maintain their lives, and having a longer life expectancy is a matter of pride (Lestari,

et.al 2018). The elderly population in 2025 is estimated to be around 36 million

people, or 11.34 percent of the population. Riskesdas in 2018 reported an increase in

NCDs in the 2015-2019 RPJMN, World Health Organization (WHO) 2015 data, the

prevalence of hypertension in the world is around 1.13 billion, meaning that 1 in 3

people in the world are diagnosed with hypertension (Mills et al., 2020). People with

hypertension are expected to increase to 1.5 billion by 2025, with 9.4 million deaths,

the third leading cause of death in Indonesia, and the number one cause of death in

the world (Adrian, 2019). A total of 45% of deaths due to heart disease and 51% due

to stroke are caused by hypertension (Ministry of Health RI, 2018) in (Jenderal &

Massie, 2019), slower mobility, often having a feeling of stress due to physical

weakness. Accessibility makes it easier for the elderly in puskesmas by providing

access to special seats (Indonesia, 2004) and (Lestari et.al, 2016). Preliminary studies

from observations are known to access waiting room chairs made of four rows of

iron, when using chairs in the waiting room states that it is difficult to put the buttocks

when going to sit and difficulty when going to a standing position. The elderly

expressed anxiety because when they got up and stood up from sitting in a chair felt

back pain, hands hurt and head pain. Therefore, a chair is needed to sit in the waiting

room of the puskesmas in accordance with the body size of the elderly. Research by

Stuart about anxiety (anxiety) for health center treatment felt a sense of discomfort

intervention group (Post) Data collection was carried out by measuring subjective

complaints using Nordic bodu map (NBM) questionnaires and anthropometric

measurements.

Health Center is 68.932 for men and 65.79 for women, with an age range of 60 – 75

Welfare, a person is said to be Elderly is someone who has reached the age of 60

(sixty) years and over (Hakim, 2020)

Anthropometers

The subject's body anthropometric measurement data to obtain body

dimension measurement data was used to design a special elderly Priority Chair for

the Elderly at the North Kuta Health Center. Measurement with static

anthropometry position sitting position as in Table 3 below.

Table 3 Results of anthropometric analysis of Subjects at North Kuta Health

obtained anthropometric data of subjects to obtain body dimension measurements,

used to design intervention chairs as priority seats for the elderly in the waiting room

of the North Kuta Health Center. Anthropometry is very important in determining

the tool, namely the design of priority chairs. Human body measurements can be

grouped into two groups, namely body dimension measurements carried out on the

body in static conditions, and functional dimension measurements carried out when

the body is in a moving condition (Winata & Suryadi, 2020).

Prototype Priority Chair as Intervention

After determining the design of the final sketch, proceed with a workshop /

workshop to make a real product or prototype.

Priority Seat Intervention in the Lounge

Priority seat intervention on treatment (Post) for the elderly at the North Kuta

anthropometry of the elderly in a static or sitting position. Facilities in accordance

with anthropometry make it easy to use when going to sit or stand from a chair while

waiting for a doctor's examination queue or waiting for medicine in the waiting room

of the North Kuta Health Center as well as a form of respect and respect for the

elderly at the puskesmas.

In line with research. Research on elderly chairs conducted by Mardiyantoro

et al., (2019) In the terminal waiting room, the design problems for elderly seating

include adequate comfort when sitting for more than 5 minutes (Stasiun, 2019).

Priority seat intervention with springs on the left and right sides, provides automatic

ease on the back, because the back can rest naturally with a slope of 15-20 degrees.

Blue

The choice of blue color is very suitable for the puskesmas waiting room,

because it gives the impression of communicative, protection, spiritual, gentleness,

tranquility, love, peace, stability, friendship and harmony. The blue color on the chair

can basically create a feeling of calm, peace, clean air.
