Abstract

Non-formal learning strategies play a crucial role in increasing elderly awareness of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), particularly through the role of Integrated Health Service Posts (Posbindu). This study is a systematic literature review aimed at identifying and evaluating non-formal learning strategies that have been implemented in Posbindu to improve elderly understanding of NCDs. The article search and selection process followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) method, with a total of 1,245 articles identified through Google Scholar. After a systematic screening process, five articles were selected for further analysis. Based on the analysis of studies examining non-formal learning interventions for the elderly in Posbindu, the average increase in awareness of NCDs was 31%. This awareness was measured through improvements in knowledge, attitudes, and participation after receiving health education, health promotion, or educational non-pharmacological approaches. The findings indicate that the non-formal approaches used include direct education through health counseling, community-based health promotion, and increased elderly participation through active interaction. These strategies not only enhanced elderly knowledge but also encouraged their engagement in Posbindu activities. The success of non-formal learning lies in participatory methods, relevance to the daily lives of the elderly, and effective interpersonal approaches. This study recommends the development of simple educational media, facilitator training, and the integration of family and community health worker roles. In conclusion, non-formal learning strategies at Posbindu show great potential in effectively and sustainably increasing elderly awareness of NCDs.
