For severe cognitive impairment as much as 41.8%. Based on the Spearman Rank Test, the sig value = 0.001 <0.005 was obtained. The conclusion of this study is that there is a relationship between systolic and diastolic blood pressure and cognitive function in the elderly in Taman Bodhi Asri in 2024. The suggestion from this study is for the elderly to be able to routinely control blood pressure, do regular exercise, regulate food consumption, and get proper rest so that cognitive dysfunction in the future can be avoided. And for the orphanage, it is hoped that it can detect cognitive dysfunction so that it can prevent the quality of life of hypertension patients from getting worse.

Abstract

Demensia merupakan masalah kesehatan yang semakin meningkat pada populasi lansia dan berdampak pada penurunan fungsi kognitif, kemandirian, serta kualitas hidup. Intervensi nonfarmakologis yang sederhana, murah, dan mudah diterapkan di lingkungan panti lansia diperlukan sebagai upaya mempertahankan dan meningkatkan fungsi kognitif. Salah satu bentuk stimulasi kognitif yang potensial adalah terapi puzzle. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan fungsi kognitif lansia dengan demensia melalui penerapan terapi puzzle di Wisma Taman Bodhi Asri, Medan. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat dilaksanakan pada tanggal 21–28 September 2025 di Wisma Taman Bodhi Asri, Medan, dengan melibatkan 10 lansia sebagai kelompok sasaran. Intervensi berupa terapi puzzle dilakukan secara terstruktur. Pengukuran fungsi kognitif dilakukan sebelum dan sesudah intervensi menggunakan instrumen Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan adanya peningkatan skor MMSE pada seluruh peserta setelah mengikuti terapi puzzle. Selain perbaikan aspek kognitif, peserta juga menunjukkan peningkatan partisipasi, fokus, interaksi sosial, serta kepercayaan diri selama kegiatan berlangsung. Terapi puzzle terbukti efektif sebagai intervensi nonfarmakologis untuk meningkatkan fungsi kognitif lansia dengan demensia di lingkungan panti.

Abstract

Cognitive function in older adults is influenced by various factors, including age, gender, education, and physical activity, all of which can contribute to cognitive decline. This decline poses a growing challenge, particularly among institutionalized elderly populations. Brain gymnastics, a simple, low-cost, non-pharmacological intervention, has shown potential for improving cognitive function, yet evidence among nursing home residents remains limited and inconsistent. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of brain gymnastics on cognitive function among older adults residing in nursing homes in North Sumatera. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 56 participants aged 60 to 80 years, divided into intervention (n = 28) and control (n = 28) groups through purposive sampling. The intervention group engaged in a four-week brain gymnastics program, while the control group received a self-guided exercise leaflet. The study was conducted from January to March 2025. Cognitive function was assessed using the MoCA-INA at baseline and post-intervention. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, paired t-tests, and independent t-tests were used for data analysis. At baseline, both groups exhibited moderate cognitive function (62.5% and 67.9%, respectively). Post-intervention, the intervention group showed a significant improvement in mean cognitive scores from 17.64 ± 4.09 to 22.00 ± 4.46 (p < 0.001, Cohen's d = 1.52), whereas the control group demonstrated a smaller increase. An independent t-test revealed a significant difference in post-intervention scores between the intervention (22.00 ± 4.46) and control (17.00 ± 3.23) groups (p < 0.001, Cohen's d = 3.89), indicating a strong effect of the intervention. These findings underscore the potential of brain gymnastics as a practical, scalable, and cost-effective strategy to enhance cognitive health. Its integration into routine elderly care may help delay cognitive decline and promote healthier aging, particularly in low-resource settings.
