Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the relationship between spiritual activity and depression levels in the elderly at the Regional Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD) Rumoh Seujahtera Geunaseh Sayang (RSGS), Ulee Kareng District, Banda Aceh. The study used a quantitative design with a population of 55 elderly individuals and a sample of 33 respondents aged 60–74 years, selected through purposive sampling. The instruments used included the Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES) with an internal consistency of (α = 0.9) and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) with 92% sensitivity. The results showed that elderly individuals with low spiritual levels tended to experience more severe depression, with 25% of them experiencing severe depression. Meanwhile, 66.7% of those with moderate spiritual levels experienced mild depression, and 60.6% of those with high spiritual levels were in the normal category or showed no depressive symptoms. Bivariate analysis revealed a significant relationship between spiritual activity and depression levels in the elderly with a p-value of 0.000. The conclusion of this study is that involvement in spiritual activities has a significant impact on depression levels in the elderly at UPTD RSGS, Ulee Kareng District, Banda Aceh. This study provides an understanding of the importance of spiritual activity in reducing depression in the elderly, which can serve as a basis for developing spiritually-based mental health interventions in elderly communities.
