Health problems in the elderly are increasingly becoming a major concern at global and national levels, along with increasing life expectancy. One of the most common health problems faced by the elderly is musculoskeletal disease, including rheumatism. This study aimed to determine the effect of rheumatic exercise on the ability of elderly individuals to perform daily activities. This study is a quantitative study using a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design. The results showed that The results of the Wilcoxon rank test were p = 0.000, which was smaller than ? = 0.05. This study shows the effect of rheumatic exercise on the ability of the elderly to perform daily activities. This shows that rheumatic exercise is an effective intervention to support the ability of the elderly to face physical and psychological challenges due to aging and chronic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Poor fluid management among hemodialysis patients can lead to detrimental outcomes such as high Interdialytic Weight Gain (IDWG), contributing to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. While conventional education on fluid restriction exists in hospitals, non-compliance remains prevalent, highlighting the need for educational approaches grounded in self-efficacy theory to enhance patients' self-confidence in self-management. This study aimed to assess the impact of educational interventions based on self-efficacy theory on IDWG in hemodialysis patients at Malahayati Islamic Hospital. Using a quantitative quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design, the study included a total of 68 participants selected through purposive sampling. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference (p < 0.05) in IDWG scores between the intervention and control groups post-intervention, indicating the effectiveness of self-efficacy-based education in improving compliance with fluid intake restrictions among chronic kidney failure patients undergoing hemodialysis.
