Pendahuluan: Seiring bertambahnya usia, lansia rentan mengalami agitasi, yaitu 
perubahan perilaku seperti gelisah, marah tanpa sebab, dan tindakan berulang yang dapat 
mengganggu kenyamanan mereka dalam menjalani aktivitas sehari-hari. Salah satu terapi 
nonfarmakologis yang bisa membantu adalah terapi reminiscence, yaitu mengajak lansia 
mengingat masa lalu yang menyenangkan. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan studi 
kasus kualitatif. Lansia Ny. A di Cibogo Kota Bandung yang mengalami agitasi kategori 
sedang. Intervensi berupa terapi reminiscence dilakukan sebanyak 3 sesi (masing-masing 
60 menit) selama 1 minggu dengan tema masa kecil, pengalaman hidup, dan peristiwa 
menyenangkan. Tingkat agitasi diukur menggunakan Agitated Behavior Scale (ABS) 
sebelum dan sesudah terapi. Hasil: Hasil menunjukkan penurunan skor dari 31 menjadi 24 
yang bermakna adanya perubahan yang menunjukan perilaku agitasi dari kategori sedang 
menjadi ringan. Hasil observasi menunjukan lansia juga tampak lebih tenang, ekspresif, 
dan nyaman saat mengenang masa lalu. Kesimpulan: Terapi reminiscence efektif 
menurunkan perilaku agitasi pada lansia. Selain menenangkan, terapi ini membuat lansia 
merasa dihargai dan tidak sendiri. Hal ini bisa menjadi pilihan intervensi sederhana di 
rumah maupun komunitas.

Introduction: As individuals age, they become increasingly vulnerable to agitation manifested through behavioral changes such as restlessness, unexplained anger, and 
repetitive actions that can disrupt their comfort in daily activities. One non
pharmacological intervention that may help is reminiscence therapy, which involves 
encouraging older adults to recall pleasant memories from their past. Method:This study 
employed a qualitative case study approach. The subject was Mrs. A, an elderly woman in 
Cibogo, Bandung, who exhibited moderate agitation. The intervention consisted of three 
reminiscence therapy sessions (each lasting 60 minutes) conducted over one week, focusing 
on themes of childhood, life experiences, and joyful events. The level of agitation was 
measured using the Agitated Behavior Scale (ABS) before and after the therapy. 
Results:The results indicated a decrease in ABS score from 31 to 24, signifying a shift in 
agitation behavior from moderate to mild. Observations also revealed that the participant 
appeared calmer, more expressive, and comfortable while reminiscing about her past. 
Conclusion: Reminiscence therapy proved effective in reducing agitation in older adults. 
Beyond its calming effect, the therapy fosters a sense of appreciation and emotional 
connection, helping elderly individuals feel valued and less alone. This approach offers a 
simple yet meaningful intervention that can be implemented both at home and within 
community settings.
