The Indonesian society, which is predominantly Muslim, is already familiar with the term diseases of the heart. This concept originates from a verse in the Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 10, which means: “In their hearts is a disease, and Allah increases their disease; and for them is a painful punishment because they [habitually] lie.” The heart referred to here is not the physical heart (liver), nor the cardiovascular organ (heart), but rather the spiritual heart, known as qolbu.
The Elderly Phase and Its Characteristics
The elderly phase begins at the age of 60, a period marked by shifts in social roles and often characterized by increased needs for health support. This phase has unique traits, such as emerging physical health issues, the potential loss of social roles, and intensive psychological adjustments. The growing elderly population, as seen in Indonesia today, reflects significant demographic changes and presents both challenges and opportunities to support elderly well-being and active participation in society. The elderly can provide valuable contributions through the life experiences and knowledge they have accumulated, while also facing challenges stemming from social, physical, and psychological changes related to aging. Therefore, understanding the social and psychological context of aging is crucial for supporting their sustainable well-being.
