The decline in cognitive function in the elderly, which is part of the aging process can result in long-term memory problems and information processes, so it is often regarded as a stressor that causes stress and perceived as an adverse threat. Brain gym can improve memory, decreased emotional stress and the clearer mind. The aim of the study analyzed the effectiveness of brain gym in improving cognitive function and decreased the level of stress of elderly. Pre-experimental study of one group pretest-posttest design with 35 samples selected by simple random sampling. The frequency of Brain Gym exercise twice a week with duration of every 15 minutes and done in four weeks. Measurement of stress level using DASS, while Cognitive function with MMSE. Data analyzed using Wilcoxon signed rank test. The results showed improvement of cognitive function in elderly and decreased stress level after brain gym (p = 0.001 and p = 0.009 at α = 0.05). Brain gyms are more effective at lowering stress levels than older cognitive function improvements that require longer and more intense time to improve concentration and elderly memory.   Keywords: Brain Gym, Kognitif, Stress, Elderly

Decline in cognitive function in the elderly is not considered reasonable, and can be inhibited with brain gym activity.The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of brain exercise on cognitive function in the elderly in RT 03 RW 01 Tandes Village. Design of this study Pre-Experiment with one grop pre post test,the population are from ten of elderly aged 60-74 years. Sampling by simple random sampling, gained 6 people. The independent variable is the gymnastics of the brain and the dependent variable is a function cognitive. The data colledted by using the MMSE tabulation of data editing, coding, processing, celaning, tabulating and analyzed by Wilcoxon Sign Rank with α = 0.05. The results showed that prior to the brain gym majority (66.7%) had moderate cognitive impairment after brain gym majority (66.7%) are not impaired cognitive function. After the Wilcoxon signed rank test obtained value ρ = 0.014 <α = 0.05 so that H0 is rejected, it means that there is the influence of brain exercise on cognitive function in the elderly. Conclusions from this research is the brain exercises can improve cognitive function in the elderly in RT 03 RW 01 Tandes village. Brain gym should be applied in Posyandu every 3 times a week as more routine brain exercise in the elderly, then cognitive function will be increased, then can make the decline in function cognitive slowly.

Selama proses penyusunan skripsi mahasiswa ditantang dan dilatih untuk melakukan serangkaian kegiatan yang bersifat ilmiah yang menguji suatu teori dan memecahkan suatu permasalahan dengan pola pikir yang kritis ( critical thinking).Stres mahasiswa dalam menyusun skripsi, disebabkan karena susahnya mencari referensi dan tekanan tugas yang deadline. Salah satu terapi untuk menurunkan stres adalah terapi senam otak (Brain Gym). Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh terapi senam otak (Brain Gym) terhadap tingkat stres mahasiswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pra-eksperimen dengan rancangan one group pre test-post test. Sampel dalam penelitian ini didapatkan 66 orang dengan tehnik simple random sampling. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Stikes Wira Medika Bali. Tingkat stres diukur dengan kuesioner DASS 42. Hasil penelitian didapatkan tingkat stres mahasiswa sebelum diberikan senam otak (Brain Gym) sebanyak 43 orang dengan kategori tingkat stres sedang, dan tingkat stres mahasiswa setelah diberikan terapi senam otak (Brain Gym) 50 orang dengan kategori tingkat stres ringan. Hasil uji statistic Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test dengan tingkat kemaknaan 0,05 menunjukan nilai p = 0,000 < 0,05. Kesimpulan penelitian, ada pengaruh senam otak (Brain Gym) terhadap tingkat stres mahasiswa. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian tersebut disarankan bagi yang mengalami stres dalam mengerjakan tugas akhir dapat menggunakan terapi senam otak (Brain Gym) tersebut untuk mengurangi tingkat stres.

ABSTRAKReumatoid Artritis (RA) merupakan penyakit muscoloskelektal yang sering terjadi pada usia lanjut. Gangguan pada system muscoloskelektal yang ditandai dengan munculnya nyeri sendi dan kekakuan yang mengakibatkan penurunan kemampuan fisiologis atau kualitas hidup lansia. Dampak dari Reumatoid Artritis dapat menimbulkan beberapa keluhan dan dapat menyebabkan kelumpuhan. Untuk menganalisis efektifitas kompres jahe merah hangat dan kompres serai hangat terhadap penurunan intensitas nyeri artitris remauthoid pada lanjut usia.Metode Penelitian: Jenis penelitian adalah quasy experimental dengan two group pre – post test design. Subjek adalah sebagian lansia yang penderita Arthritis Remathoid di Desa Sumberagung Kecamatan Dander Kabupaten Bojonegoro. Subjek dibagi menjadi dua kelompok yaitu kelompok I (n=15) diberi perlakuan kompres jahe hangat dan II (n=15) diberi perlakuan kompres serai hangat. Analisis yang digunakan uji Mann Whitney U Test dan Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test dengan ingkat kemaknaan α = 0,05.Hasil uji Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, didapat keduanya mempunyai nilai kemaknaan yaitu ρ value = 0,000. Nilai ρ = 0,031 pada kelompok kompres serai hangat dan kelompok kompres jahe merah ρ value = 0,165. Hasil uji Mann Withney U Test pada Post perlakuan kedua terapi diperoleh selisih nilai nyeri pada kompres jahe ρ= 0,003 dan selisih nilai nyeri kompres serai ρ value = 0,001.Penggunaan kompres jahe merah lebih efektif dibandingkan dengan kompres serai terhadap penurunan intensitas nyeri arthritis remathoid. Kata Kunci: usia lanjut, Reumatoid Artritis (RA), jahe merah, serai, perbedaan efektifitas.    ABSTRACTReumatoid Artritis (RA) is a musculoskeletal which frequently occurs in the elderly. The disorders in the musculoskeletal system are noted by the occurrence of pain in the joints and stiffness which reduces the physiological abilities or life quality of the elderly.

This research aims to find out the effect of Brain Gym on elementary student’s concentration. There was one group on this pra-experimental research, which measured the pre-test and post-test concentrations. 30 samples in this research were selected by purposive sampling technique from level 5 and 6 elementary students. These 30 students were set to do Brain Gym 3 times per week for 4 weeks. We find out from this research that group concentration’s pre test mean result was= 13.633 and for post-test was= 21.00. Wilcoxon signed rank test shows ρ=0,000. Those means that Brain Gym give significant effect on increasing students concentration. We can conclude that students can be increased concentration of learning by practicing Brain Gym regularly. Students may practicing this Brain Gym exercise at least 3 times per week at home in this pandemic condition, or before starting face to face learning when the pandemic is over
