Perlu diketahui secara bersama, menurut saya, lansia yang tinggal di panti jompo itu

dibagi empat jenis golongan penyebabnya;

(1) Tidak beruntung secara ekonomi;

(2) Rentan tersakiti
(3) Kesepian
(4) Perubahan perilaku.
Adapun yang dimaksud ‘tidak beruntung secara ekonomi’ adalah mereka yang
tergolong dalam kaum dhuafa (miskin). Tidak beruntung secara ekonomi ini
dibagi menjadi dua lagi
memiliki sanak keluarga]
 tidak memiliki sanak keluarga. Tujuan merawat lansia yang demikian tak
lain ingin memberikan perlindungan pada lansia tersebut agar mendapat
pengasuhan yang layak.

Terkait video lansia yang disiksa di panti, banyak netizen menyalahkan anak sebagai orang
yang tidak tahu terima kasih kepada orang tua. Tega-teganya menitipkan ibu yang telah
melahirkan dan membesarkan ke panti. Sehingga akhirnya menderita seperti itu.

Evita Djaman, psikolog yang peduli pada masalah-masalah lansia, meluruskan pandangan itu.
Dijelaskannya, hanya ada dua tempat penampungan lansia, yaitu panti sosial (dari
pemerintah) dan panti jompo berbayar.

Lansia yang masuk ke panti sosial adalah mereka yang telantar atau diketahui tidak punya
keluarga. Panti sosial yang aktif berperan memasukkan lansia-lansia telantar ini. Sedangkan
bila lansia berada di panti jompo berbayar – atau bahkan sekadar day care lansia, jatuhnya
bukan penelantaran atau yang seperti dipikirkan banyak orang, bentuk “membuang” orang
tua.

“Ketika seorang lansia masuk dan tinggal di penitipan, hampir pasti disertai keinginan lansia
itu sendiri,” ungkap Evita.

Tentu ada kesepakatan-kesepakatan yang sudah dibicarakan dan disetujui antara pihak orang
tua yang sudah lansia ini dan keluarga atau anak-anaknya. Toh, tidak ada kekuasaan, baik
dari panti maupun keluarga lansia, untuk menahan atau mengurung seseorang, termasuk
lansia, di panti.

“Kalaupun ada yang seperti itu, anak yang menitipkan dengan tujuan membuang, jumlahnya
sangat, sangat sedikit,” tegas Evita.

Kultur di Indonesia sangat mendukung lansia tinggal sendiri atau bersama keluarga. “Inilah
kelompok lansia yang jumlahnya paling banyak dan dengan permasalahan yang kompleks,”
ujar Evita.

Berbeda dengan lansia yang memilih tinggal di panti karena antara lain telah mengetahui
kelebihan dan kebaikan tinggal di panti, seperti perawatan yang baik (mulai dari kesehatan
fisik hingga psikologi), teman-teman yang seusia, serta kesibukan dengan beragam aktivitas,
lansia yang tinggal sendiri atau bersama anak (dan cucu) lebih rentan stres atau depresi akibat
gesekan dengan lingkungan, termasuk keluarga sendiri, baik sengaja maupun tidak.

“Banyak lansia yang tinggal di rumah merasa tidak berdaya atau merasakan benar
ketidakberdayaan sebagai orang yang tidak lagi muda,” ujar Evita. Kebanyakan disebabkan
komentar-komentar orang terdekat sendiri yang justru melemahkan.

“Kalau khawatir, anak bisa membantu, misalnya memberi sopir, uang jajan, dan lain-lain,”
saran Evita. Hal ini jauh lebih baik ketimbang sekadar melarang, bahkan dilengkapi embel-
embel kekhawatiran berlebih, seperti nanti Papa sakit, nanti Papa kecapekan, Mama cuma
bergosip saja kalau kumpul, nanti pulang kemalaman, sudah di rumah saja jangan ke mana-
mana, dan sebagainya. “Ini menyakitkan orang tua

from the orphanage and elderly family, to detain or confine someone,

including the elderly, at the orphanage.
"Even if there is such a thing, the child who entrusted with the purpose of
disposing, the amount is very, very little," said Evita.
Culture in Indonesia strongly supports elderly living alone or with family.
"This is the largest number of elderly and with complex problems," Evita
said.
Unlike the elderly who choose to live in the orphanage because among others
have known the advantages and goodness of living in the orphanage, such as
good care (ranging from physical health to psychology), friends of the same
age, and busy with diverse activities, elderly who live alone or with
children (and grandchildren) are more susceptible to stress or depression
resulting from friction with the environment, including their own family,
whether intentionally or not.
 REASONS WHY JOMPO BEEN DISUMATRA
WEST

Need to know together, in my opinion, the elderly living in the nursing home was divided
into four types of causes;
(1) Unlucky economically;
(2) Vulnerable hurt
(3) Loneliness
(4) Behavior change.
As for the term 'economically disadvantaged' are those belonging to the poor (poor).
Economic luck is divided into two more
have relatives]
• have no relatives. The purpose of caring for the elderly who so as no other wants
to provide protection to the elderly in order to get proper care.
Related to the elderly video being tortured in the orphanage, many netizens blame the child
for being ungrateful to parents. The parents left the mother who had given birth and raised to
the orphanage. So end up suffering like that.
Evita Djaman, a psychologist who cares about the elderly issues, straightens that view. He
explained, there are only two elderly shelter, the social home (from the government) and
nursing homes paid.
The elderly who go to social institutions are those who are abandoned or known to have no
family. Active social institutions play a role in this elderly elderly. Whereas if the elderly are
in a nursing home paid - or even just day care elderly, the fall is not neglect or that as many
people think, the form "throw" the parents.
"When an elderly enters and lives in care, it is almost certainly accompanied by the elderly
wants itself," said Evita.
Of course there are agreements already discussed and agreed between the elderly parent and
his family or children. Anyway, no power, either

from the orphanage and elderly family, to detain or confine someone, including the elderly, at
the orphanage.

"Many elderly people living at home feel helpless or feel righteous helplessness as people
who are no longer young," Evita said. Mostly due to the comments of people closest to
themselves which is actually weakening.
"If you worry, children can help, such as giving a driver, pocket money, and others," Evita
advice. This is much better than just prohibiting, even equipped frills excessive worries, as
later Papa sick, later Papa exhausted, Mama just gossip only when gathering, later go back to
camp, have at home just do not go anywhere, and so forth. "It hurts the parents
