Pengaruh Reminescene Therapy untuk Meningkatkan Kognitif pada Lansia Demensia di Yayasan Embun Kehidupan Bangsa

Dementia is a health problem with a relatively high prevalence in Indonesia. Reminiscence therapy is one of the interventions that can be applied to older adults to reduce the progression of cognitive decline. This community service activity was conducted from January to February 2025 at the Embun Kehidupan Bangsa Foundation, with the aim of helping improve cognitive function in older adults through reminiscence therapy. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) assessment was carried out before and after the intervention. Participants were divided into several groups, and reminiscence therapy was implemented according to established guidelines. This activity was attended by 10 older adults, and the MMSE results showed an increase in the number of participants with improved cognitive scores after the therapy was conducted. It is expected that reminiscence therapy can serve as an effective intervention to enhance cognitive function among older adults at the Embun Kehidupan Bangsa Foundation.
