Keywords:
knowledge level, osteoarthritis, elderly, severity of osteoarthritisAbstract
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that often leads to disability, with a globally increasing prevalence. Knowledge about a particular subject has two aspects that determine attitudes and behavior: positive and negative aspects. The more positive aspects are known, the more positive attitudes and behaviors are formed toward the subject. A lack of knowledge is one of the risk factors for Osteoarthritis. This study aims to examine the relationship between knowledge level and the severity of Osteoarthritis in the elderly at Posyandu Lansia Puskesmas Tlogosari Kulon. This is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, with 57 elderly participants. Data were collected using the Lequesne index questionnaire and the PKQ-OA questionnaire. The statistical test used was the chi-square test. The study results showed that the majority of respondents had poor knowledge (54.4%) and suffered from Osteoarthritis with a very severe degree (35.1%). The bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between knowledge level and the severity of Osteoarthritis (p = 0.014). There is a significant relationship between knowledge level and the severity of Osteoarthritis. The higher the level of knowledge, the lower the severity of Osteoarthritis experienced by the elderly.
