Abstract:

UPT Social Services Tresna Werdha Banyuwangi is an orphanage for the East Java

Province Social Service which provides services to neglected elderly who have tasks

in the fields of sponsorship, rehabilitation, assistance, guidance, development and

resocialization. This HSO-based institution or Human Service Organization plays an

important role in efforts to maintain and increase self-capacity (capacity building)

by forming or changing the personal attributes of the elderly by adjusting their

ability to accept the services provided. The purpose of this study was to examine and

describe the implementation of the skills guidance program on the maintenance of

the social functioning of the elderly. This research approach is descriptive

qualitative using data collection techniques of non-participatory observation, semi-

structured interviews, and documentation studies. Data analysis begins with data

collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results

of this study describe the process of intervention in the skills guidance program

which is carried out by providing assistance and guidance through technical and

non-technical activities such as training in making handicrafts, building

relationships between the elderly, worship habits, and others. In conclusion, the

implementation of the skill guidance program intervention at UPT Tresna Werdha

Banyuwangi Social Services went according to plan and had an impact on achieving

improvements in the social functioning of the elderly. What the implementing unit

needs to do in improving the skills guidance program is by establishing cooperation

with external parties who can fully support the development or progress of the skills

guidance program.
