<![CDATA[Older adults experience physical, psychological, social, and spiritual changes that may affect their health and quality of life. This study aimed to describe changes in the physical and mental health of older adults following a holistic nursing intervention. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was used involving 15 older adults selected through total sampling. Data were collected using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire (SPMSQ), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Activity Daily Living (ADL), and blood pressure measurements. The intervention included brain exercise, light physical activity, mental health education, spiritual support, and social support. The results showed that participants with normal MMSE scores increased from 8 to 10, while intact intellectual function based on SPMSQ increased from 2 to 3 participants. The number of participants categorized as normal or not depressed based on GDS increased from 5 to 7, and independent ADL increased from 13 to 14 participants. Blood pressure also showed a descriptive decrease after the intervention. These findings indicate positive descriptive changes in several physical and mental health indicators among older adults following the holistic nursing intervention.
