MINISTRY OF HIGHER EDUCATION, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITAS SYIAH KUALA FACULTY OF NURSING UNDERGRADUATE THESIS December 16, 2025 XIV + VI Chapters + 65 pages + 6 tables + 1 scheme + 13 appendices PUTRI NABILLA 2212101010031 AN OVERVIEW OF COGNITIVE FUNCTION AMONG OLDER ADULTS IN INGIN JAYA SUB-DISTRICT OF ACEH BESAR REGENCY ABSTRACT The growing global population of older adults, particularly in Indonesia, has substantially increased the risk of cognitive decline in later life. When not identified at an early stage, cognitive impairment may progress to dementia, leading to greater dependence in activities of daily living and a deterioration in quality of life among older adults. This study aimed to describe the cognitive function of older adults in Ingin Jaya Sub-district, Aceh Besar Regency. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. The study population consisted of 3,020 older adults, from whom 353 participants were selected by accidental sampling according to predefined inclusion criteria. Cognitive function was evaluated using the Saint Louis University Mental Status Examination (SLUMS). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and are presented as frequency distributions and percentages. The results demonstrated that among older adults with an educational level of senior high school or higher, the majority were classified as having mild cognitive impairment (43.8%). Conversely, among those with an educational level below senior high school, most were categorized as having dementia (72.0%). These findings indicate that lower educational attainment among older adults is strongly associated with a higher risk of severe cognitive impairment, which may adversely affect functional independence and overall quality of life. Therefore, implementing regular cognitive screenings, reinforcing family involvement in providing support and cognitive stimulation, and developing community-based services and empowerment programs for older adults are essential to prevent further cognitive decline.
