The definition of Health is a complete physical and mental condition, free of disease or disability. Feelings of uselessness, sadness, insomnia, stress, depression, anxiety, delirium, and dementia are signs of psychological regression in the elderly. Health care for depressed parents with dementia requires non-pharmacological care. Objective: This research analyzes the effects of reminiscence therapy, Brain Gym, and music therapy to relieve elderly people suffering from dementia and depression. This literature review research took the published articles from 2014 to 2024 on Google Scholar and Pubmed. The researchers collected relevant data or sources based on the keywords. The results found both in Indonesia and Japan, non-pharmacological care interventions like reminiscence therapy had a significant impact. However, the Brain Gym intervention group and music therapy performed in Japan had no significant impact on relieving depression or improving the cognitive function of dementia patients. Conclusion: Reminiscence therapy succeeded in relieving cognitive function in parents suffering from dementia in Indonesia and Japan. Therefore, reminiscence therapy is suggested to be applied in Japan.

Head injury is mechanical trauma to the head, either directly or indirectly, which causes neurological function disorders, which are temporary or permanent physical, cognitive and psychosocial function disorders. The incidence of head injuries in Indonesia in 2018 from 34 provinces in Indonesia reached 11.9% of cases in the last year, mostly due to motorbike traffic accidents. The clinical condition and level of consciousness after a head injury are assessed using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), which can classify head injuries into mild head injuries, moderate head injuries and severe head injuries. The prognosis for head injury patients will be better if management is carried out appropriately and quickly.

The development of children under five is an increasingly complex body structure and function that occurs in a regular and predictable pattern as a maturation process. Children's development can be assessed from their speech and language abilities, fine or gross motor skills, cognitive intelligence, and social or emotional abilities. This study aims to describe the demographic and developmental characteristics of stunted children aged 2-5 years at the Kesesi I health center. This research is a descriptive study. This sampling technique used total sampling, the population of this study was 38 children at the Kesesi I Community Health Center.

An elderly person is someone who reaches the age of > 60 years. This increase in age will result in a decrease in the ability of the body's functions, one of which is the nervous system, namely a mild, moderate decline in cognitive function and even dementia. Severe dementia will result in elderly people being unable to carry out activities so that they will experience elderly people who are not prosperous and happy. To overcome this, puzzle therapy is needed. Puzzle therapy is a game of arranging certain shapes until they become a complete image or form a certain pattern. This is to stimulate and improve the cognitive function of the brain. It is known that nursing care for elderly people with decreased cognitive function is provided by providing puzzle therapy. This case study uses a descriptive method with a nursing process approach carried out on 3 clients using a One Group Pretest Posttest puzzle therapy research design on cognitive function in the elderly. The implementation results showed that there was a change in the MMSE score after being given puzzle therapy for 5 consecutive days, namely Mrs. F from 21 to 23, Mrs. L from 22 to 24 while Mrs. E of 16 and still has a score of 16. The average MMSE score which increased after being given puzzle therapy was 2 scores. It is hoped that the results of this case study can become an application for implementing puzzle therapy to improve cognitive function in the elderly where caregivers or nursing home staff can also make puzzle therapy a routine activity that can be carried out every week at the Dharma Bhakti KM 7 Palembang Nursing Home.

Cognitive impairment is a neuropsychological condition characterized by a decline in cognitive functions that interferes with daily activities. Cognitive impairment in elderly can lead to the decrease in quality of life. One of the factors causing cognitive impairment is high triglyceride level. Therefore, this community service activity is carried out to increase awareness and knowledge about hypertriglyceridemia and cognitive disorders through education and health screening.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that the global population aged over 60 years will increase from 900 million in 2015 to 2 billion in 2050. This demographic is particularly vulnerable to disease and disability, with declining haemoglobin levels long considered a consequence of aging. Nutritional deficiencies, chronic diseases, kidney disease, haematological malignancies, and anemia of unknown cause can all contribute to anemia in the elderly. This significantly impacts physical performance, cognitive function, and overall health. We carried out this activity at St. Francis Assisi, Jakarta, with 36 participants. We perform a physical examination and a complete blood count, including haemoglobin and hematocrit levels, to detect nemia. Among the 36 participants, 18 people (50%) had mild anaemia, 6 people (16.7%) had moderate anaemia, and 1 person (2.8%) had very severe anaemia. Anaemia in the elderly can cause severe health consequences, including physical and cognitive decline, increased hospitalisations, and death. Routine screening for haemoglobin and hematocrit levels is essential for early detection and intervention, improving quality of life and health outcomes for older adults.

The importance of learning media in increasing children's enthusiasm for learning or using learning media will make it easier for an educator to provide learning to young children. Using learning media will not only stimulate cognitive development in children, but will stimulate all aspects of development in early childhood. Researchers carried out research at RA As-Syarif Sibanggor Jae. This research aims to see how early childhood cognitive development develops through games using letter cards as media. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The research results include qualitative data which suggests that 1) It is very important to align cognitive development with the golden age because the golden age occurs in the first five years of a child's life. Therefore, the cognitive learning process is very important and effective if carried out through games; 2) Early childhood cognitive development is still in the pre-functional stage, so they are not yet able to think abstractly in learning that requires media; 3) Playing with letters, looking for letters using cards, and asking children questions during the activity. With this method, children learn to recognize and understand letters.
