Posyandu activities for the elderly are continuously influenced by competent and skilled cadres. The
skills of cadres are obtained through high knowledge gained from training and mentoring. Increasing
the capacity of cadres aims to improve posyandu implementation strategies during the COVID-19
pandemic, increase health promotion and community participation in posbindu activities (Ayu M,
2021) (Hastuti el al., 2019).
 DISCUSSION
With social distancing, posbindu
cadres are confused about
carrying out their duties, in
providing education so that the
elderly remain healthy and
resilient, especially during this
pandemic.
Social media has proven reach to a broad
community, and has great potential for
health promotion and other health
interventions. The social media that can
be used are YouTube, Facebook, MySpace,
Twitter, Second Life, Whats App & others.
Initially, WhatsApp was not an application to assist the teaching
and learning process. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic,
almost all teaching and learning processes, especially in
Indonesia, used WhatsApp for online teaching.
