JAKARTA - Indonesia is experiencing a shift in demographic structure. Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) 2025 shows that the number of elderly has reached 11.93% of the total population, and is predicted to soar to 20.90% in 2050.
This condition requires the readiness of the community, especially caregivers, to provide proper care to maintain the quality of life and dignity of the elderly. One of the crucial aspects that is often considered trivial but has a major impact on skin health and the comfort of the elderly is the use of adult diapers.
Maintaining the Dignity of the Elderly through Hygiene As people age, the decline in physical function often makes the elderly have problems with urination. If not handled with good sanitation, the risk of skin problems to bedsores (decubitus) lurks.
In an educational activity at the Tresna Werdha Budi Mulia 3 Jakarta Social Home, Unicharm distributed the "3 PAS" guide in choosing adult diapers so that the elderly remain comfortable and independent:
The Right Way to Use Adhesive Diapers For the elderly who are weak, the way to put on diapers determines the effectiveness of absorption:
Tilted position: Roll the elderly body to the side, place the diaper with the tailbone position right in the middle.
Check the gap: After the position is back on its back, tighten the diaper so that there is no gap at the groin.
Cross-Adhesive: Apply cross-adhesive tape to close gaps and prevent side leaks optimally.
Synergy Towards Healthy Society
This educational initiative was welcomed by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Social Service as a step to strengthen hygiene standards in social institutions. President Director of PT Uni-Charm Indonesia Tbk, Yasutaka Nishioka, emphasized that this support is part of a long-term mission to realize a healthy and happy society.
"We are determined to become a life-time partner that supports every phase of people's lives, ensuring that no individual is left behind in obtaining the right to a clean and healthy life," he said.
