Comparing Nursing Interventions for cognitive function in hypertensive elderly: art and reminiscence
Abstract
Introduction: Hypertensive elderly have a vulnerability to decreased cognitive function. This study aims to determine the difference between reminiscense therapy and art drawing therapy on cognitive function of hypertensive elderly.
Methods: This study used a quantitative quasi experiment approach, with a static group comparison design, pre-test and post-test group. There were two sample groups in this study, reminiscense therapy and art drawing therapy (32 people per each group). The Mini Mental Status Examination (MMSE) instrument used to measure cognitive function. The Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests were used for data processing as all data were not normally distributed.
Results: The results of this study point to the fact that there is a significant difference in the cognitive function of hypertensive elderly before (20; 16-27) and after (21; 20-30) the art drawing therapy intervention (p-value = 0,001). There is a significant difference in the cognitive function of the hypertensive elderly before (20; 16-27) and after (26; 20-30) administering the reminiscence therapy intervention (p-value = 0,001). However, there was no significant difference in cognitive function between the Artistic Drawing and Reminiscence Therapy groups (p-value = 0,056).
Conclusion: The results of this study can be used as a reference in providing nursing care for elderly hypertension in improving cognitive function with art drawing and reminiscence therapy.
