Cognitive Function, Depression, Intellectual Status, Older Adults, Reminiscence TherapyAbstract
Cognitive decline and depression are major issues frequently faced by older adults in the community. Low levels of brain-stimulating activities, a lack of social interaction, and the loss of a meaningful role within the family are the primary triggers of mental decline. The natural aging process and a lack of psychological support exacerbate these conditions. A monotonous lifestyle without specific interventions accelerates memory loss and triggers emotional stress in older adults. This study aims to determine the effect of Evidence-Based Nursing Reminiscence Therapy on cognitive function and depression levels among the elderly in RW 03, Karyamulya Village, Kesambi District, Cirebon City, in 2026. This is a descriptive study using a gerontological nursing case study design. The study subjects consisted of two older adults with memory impairment. The instruments used were the standardized MMSE assessment form, the SPMSQ questionnaire, and the GDS. Data analysis was conducted descriptively by comparing conditions before and after the intervention. The results of the study indicate that memory therapy has a significant effect on improving cognitive function and intellectual status, as well as reducing depression levels in older adults. The more regularly memory stimulation through memory therapy is provided, the greater the improvement in cognitive function and emotional stability among older adults.
