One nonpharmacological intervention that nurses can apply is reminiscence therapy, which encourages older adults to recall meaningful past experiences to stimulate cognitive activity and improve psychological well-being.Aims and scope of paper: This scientific paper aims to analyze nursing care and evaluate the application of reminiscence therapy in improving cognitive function among older adults at UPT PSTW Husnul Khotimah, Riau Province.Methods: The method used was a one-group pretest–posttest design with two older adults as subjects, using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) before and after the intervention. The therapy was conducted for three consecutive days with a total of twelve sessions.Result: The results showed an increase in MMSE scores from a range of 12–19 to 14–21.Conclusion: Reminiscence therapy is effective and should be applied continuously in elderly nursing care.
