Akibat kemiskinan orang tua, anak harus berada di jalan atau bekerja untuk ikut membantu menunjang ekonomi keluarga. Sebagai konsekuensi, anak harus meninggalkan bangku sekolah. Padahal, menurut pasal 28 dari Konvensi Hak Anak (KHA) pendidikan merupakan salah satu hak anak yang harus dipenuhi, dan negara wajib untuk memfasilitasi pemenuhan hak tersebut melalui penyelenggaraan program pendidikan dasar wajib bagi semua anak tanpa kecuali secara cuma cuma. Pendidikan luar sekolah merupakan program pendidikan alternatif, yang ditujukan agar anak jalanan dan pekerja anak tetap dapat memenuhi hak mereka akan pendidikan. Penelitian ini ditujukan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor penting yang harus diperhatikan dalam merancang dan melaksanakan program pendidikan luar sekolah bagi anak yang putus sekolah, seperti anak jalanan dan pekerja anak. Penelitian ini juga bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi kebutuhan pelatihan bagi para tutor yang mendampingi pekerja anak dan anak jalanan melalui program pendidikan luar sekolah yang dilaksanakan. Untuk mencapai tujuan penelitian ini, dilakukan FGD dan wawancara mendalam kepada pendiri, staf dan pengurus LSM penyelenggara program pendidikan luar sekolah bagi anak jalanan dan pekerja anak, para tutor yang mendampingi kegiatan belajar anak, dan anak jalanan serta pekerja anak yang mendapat manfaat langsung dari program pendidikan luar sekolah yang diselenggarakan oleh LSM.

Background: Older people living in nursing homes are vulnerable to anxiety, cognitive impairment, and poor sleep quality. This study aimed to examine the association between anxiety, cognitive function, and sleep quality among older people residing in nursing homes in Jakarta and Tangerang. Methods: An analytic cross-sectional study was conducted among 124 residents from seven nursing homes using purposive sampling. Anxiety was assessed using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), cognitive function using the Indonesian version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-Ina), and sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data was analyzed using chi-square tests and odds ratios. Results: Poor sleep quality was observed in 85.48% of participants, cognitive impairment in 83.87%, and anxiety in 29.31%. Anxiety (p = 0.03; OR = 3.46) and cognitive impairment (p = 0.01; OR = 7.15) were significantly associated with poor sleep quality. Conclusion: Anxiety and cognitive impairment are significantly associated with poor sleep quality among elderly nursing home residents.
