Abstract :

Aging causes a lot of changes in elderly’s physiologic function. It could be mental changes, functional changes or else. In mental changes, their cognitive function will decline by their age.  And also their capability to functional activity. It will decrease in capability by the time flies. Year by year elderly will need a help to performing Activities of Daily Living (ADL). The purpose of this study is to analyze correlation between cognitive function and independent level in performing Activities of Daily Living (ADL) in elderly in UPT PSLU Pasuruan. A cross-sectional study design with purposive sampling technique was used in this study. The data was analyzed by Pearson for the statistical test. Population for this study was elderly who lives in UPT PSLU Pasuruan by May 2012. Data obtained from 33 participants aged 60 or more. Variables of this study are cognitive function and independent level in performing Activities of Daily Living (ADL). The result showed that more than a half participants (51,52%) had a cognitive decline. Most of them (39,39%) had no need for help to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADL). There is no significant correlation between cognitive function and independent level in performing Activities of Daily Living (ADL) in elderly in UPT PSLU Pasuruan (r = 0,143; sig (2-tailed) = 0,428). However, it is suggested that elderly should have a mental activity for maintaining their cognitive function. This study will be more acceptable if there is a further prospective study with a straight inclusion and exclusion criteria.
