Abstract

Sleep disturbances are an important health concern among older adults and may be associated with physiological changes, psychological conditions, and environmental factors. Creative activities may provide opportunities for emotional expression and meaningful engagement in elderly care settings. This community service program aimed to provide education about sleep disturbances and facilitate free drawing and crayon coloring as creative activities for older adults at Uma Kandung Elderly Care Home in Banjarmasin, Indonesia. The program was conducted on August 28, 2026, involving 11 older adults over 100 minutes. An educational and participatory approach was implemented through initial sleep quality screening using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), health education, and guided creative activities involving free drawing and coloring. Initial screening identified five participants (45.5%) with sleep disturbances. Participants were given opportunities to create drawings, select colors, and express themselves according to their individual preferences and abilities, with assistance from the community service team. Evaluation focused on program implementation, participant involvement, and documented responses. However, post-activity PSQI measurements and standardized assessments of emotional responses were not conducted. Therefore, the program findings cannot establish improvements in sleep quality, emotional well-being, or reductions in sleep disturbances. Future programs should incorporate pre- and post-intervention assessments using appropriate standardized instruments to evaluate potential changes in sleep quality and psychological responses. Free drawing and crayon coloring may be considered complementary creative activities in elderly care services, while persistent sleep disturbances require appropriate clinical assessment and management.
