Abstract
Background: The elderly are an age group that is at high risk of experiencing a decline in cognitive function as they get older, one of which is memory impairment which is often associated with dementia. Based on data from WHO (2018), the global elderly population continues to increase and is projected to reach 3 times by 2050. In Indonesia, around 10.82% of the population is classified as elderly (Central Statistics Agency, 2021), which reflects the high rate of aging in society . Dementia causes cognitive decline that interferes with the elderly's daily activities, such as memory, concentration and communication skills. One therapeutic approach that is effective in reducing the risk of memory impairment due to dementia is brain exercise. This exercise helps increase blood flow to the brain, which in turn supports optimal cognitive function in the elderly. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing brain exercise therapy in reducing the risk of memory disorders in the elderly in Tunjungseto Village, Kutowinangun District. Method: The method used is a descriptive case study of five elderly people with mild to moderate memory impairment. The intervention was carried out through brain exercises three times per week for two weeks, with evaluation of cognitive function using the MMSE (Mini Mental State Examination) and SPMSQ (Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire) instruments. Result: After being given brain exercises 6 times for 2 weeks with an exercise duration of 5-10 minutes, memory impairment in the elderly decreased. The results of the assessment using SPMSQ from 5 respondents before intervention were 1 (20%) mild intellectual damage, 3 (60%) moderate intellectual damage and 1 (20%) severe intellectual damage. After the intervention, the elderly's memory level increased from 5 respondents, 1 (20%) intellectually intact, 1 (20%) mild intellectual impairment, 3 (60%) moderate intellectual impairment. Conclusion: Nursing evaluation of all case study respondents showed that nursing problems were partially resolved, as indicated by an increase in MMSE and SPMSQ scores. Recommendation: The innovative results of brain gym therapy for elderly people with memory disorders have proven to be effective in improving cognitive function in the elderly.
