Introduction: The Elderly is the last stage of human life development, a stage that experiences many changes and risk of experiencing illness due to the aging process. The aging process experienced by the elderly causes several changes, both changes in the physical aspect and changes in the psychological aspect. One of the changes experienced by the elderly is cognitive abilities. The cognitive abilities of the elderly are needed to help them live their lives productively. Conversely, if the elderly experience cognitive impairment, it will make the elderly experience obstacles in carrying out their daily activities. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of reminiscence therapy and brain gym on the cognitive function of the elderly. Methodology: This research used an experimental design with pre and post-tests using 2 intervention groups.  Brain gym reminiscence therapy was conducted in different groups, Result: Based on the test, the p-value of 0.632 is greater than 0.05, so it can be concluded that the cognitive level of the elderly with Reminiscence therapy is not better than the elderly who receive Brain Gym therapy. Conclusion: Brain gym therapy is proven to be more effective in dealing with cognitive impairment problems in the elderly compared to reminiscence therapy

Abstract

Background: The elderly or the elderly are the last stage of the human life cycle and experience degenerative processes in various aspects, especially in older women, which results in a higher risk of exposure to disease and ends in death, one of which is hypertension. Older women are closely related to the occurrence of hypertension when a woman experiences menopause. Treatment of hypertension can be done using non-pharmacological methods using slow deep breathing exercises. Purpose: To determine the effect of slow deep breathing exercises on older women with hypertension. Method: This study used the time series quasi-experimental method with one pre-test and post-test group. Results: The analysis of the Paired Sample T Test yielded p-values of 0.049 and 0.009 (p < 0.05), indicating that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is supported. This implies that there is a significant impact of slow deep breathing exercises on blood pressure in older women when comparing the measurements before and after the intervention. Conclusion: Slow deep breathing exercises have an impact on the blood pressure of older women with hypertension.
