Abstract

Elderly phase is the final process of human age in growth and development. Aging is a change that impacts physical and cognitive functions. The decrease of cognitive functions can interfere with all activities of the elderly. The objective of this research is to investigate the effects of brain gym and coloring pictures on the cognitive functions of the elderly. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test without a control group. Purposive sampling was applied to select the respondents at an elderly nursing home. The total sample was 30 respondents that included 15 respondents of the brain gym intervention group and 15 respondents of the coloring picture intervention group. The results showed that there was no significant difference in cognitive function before and after the intervention given to the coloring picture group with the p-value 0.414> α (0.05). Meanwhile, there was a significant difference in cognitive function before and after the intervention given to the brain gym group with the p-value 0.025 <α (0.05). The management of nursing home should provide the brain gym activities to improve the cognitive functions of the elderly.

脑体操和涂色图片对老年人认知功能的影响

老年阶段是人类年龄增长和发展的最后阶段。衰老是一种影响身体和认知功能的变化。认知功能的下降会干扰老年人的一切活动。本研究旨在探讨健脑运动及彩色图片对老年人认知功能的影响。本研究采用准实验设计，前测后测，不设对照组。采用目的性抽样的方法，对某养老院的被调查者进行抽样调查。问卷共30人，其中健脑干预组15人，涂色图片干预组15人。结果显示，彩色图片组干预前后认知功能差异无统计学意义，p值为0.414> α(0.05)。健脑组干预前后认知功能差异有统计学意义(p < 0.05)。养老院的管理应提供健脑活动，以提高老年人的认知功能。
