Background: Physical activity is any body movement that generates energy to do it. Elderly due to degenerative, there will be a decrease in cognitive function, namely mental processes in obtaining knowledge or abilities and intelligence, including ways of thinking, and memory. This decrease in cognitive function is a normal condition experienced by the elderly with increasing age. This lack in cognitive function can be inhibited by taking preventive measures by increasing physical activity.Objective: To determine the relationship between physical activity of older adults (60-74 years) and cognitive function.Method: The design of this research is descriptive-analytic with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique using cluster sampling is done by interview and questionnaire. The number of samples is 60 elderly respondents.Results: This study was dominated by male elderly aged 60-74 years, unemployed, who had elementary and junior high school education, and had chronic diseases. The results showed that there was a relationship between physical activity in the elderly (60-74 years old) with cognitive function (p = 0.01; = 0.05).Conclusion: It is expected to be a reference for one of the efforts to prevent cognitive decrease by increasing physical activity in the form of physical exercise, then a study can be conducted on the intensity, duration, frequency, and type of physical exercise that is best for improving the cognitive function of the elderly.

One of the clinical manifestations felt by fracture patients is pain. Pain in fracture sufferers is sharp and stabbing, One way to reduce pain in fracture patients non-pharmacologically is to apply cold compresses to the pain area. Pain can occur in almost every fracture area, if not treated it can have a dangerous effect that will interfere with the healing process and increase morbidity and mortality. The purpose of the service is to increase the insight, knowledge and willingness of the community to apply cold compresses, especially to patients with closed fractures to reduce pain. Participants in this activity were 48 people with closed fractures at the Orthopedic Poly Hospital, Langsa City General Hospital. This community service method first carried out counseling, demonstration of cold compresses using an ice bottle. The results of community service showed that knowledge after being given counseling increased from 54.2% to 72.9% as well as the intensity of pain from moderate pain to mild pain the participants also said it was very comfortable to be given cold compresses. It is hoped that patients with closed fractures can do therapy non-pharmacological cold compresses to reduce pain and reduce the side effects of using drugs.

One of the phenomena of people living with HIV/AIDS in the rehabilitation phase in rural areas is that there is not enough space for them to get optimal rehabilitation services. The objective of this study was to provide a public health field practice framework for nursing students in the rehabilitation of people with HIV/AIDS. This research used a case study with a collective design. The primary data were taken from in-depth interviews of 3 informants. Secondary data was from reputable journals. Data processing was done by organizing, sorting, grouping, coding, marking, and categorizing based on specific groupings. The analysis used descriptive analysis. The study found three problems i.e. HIV/AIDS material is in the curriculum, public health field practice is held in semester 5, and no specific guidelines for public health practice programs on the rehabilitation of HIV/AIDS. This study recommended student interventions in the rehabilitation framework for people with HIV/AIDS referring to public health field practices based on the 2019 National Guidelines for HIV/AIDS Management.
