As age advances, the elderly are more vulnerable to various physical and psychological health issues, such as loneliness and decreased quality of life. Loneliness is a common psychosocial problem among the elderly and can significantly impact their well-being. Quality of life is an important indicator of elderly welfare, encompassing physical, psychological, social, and environmental aspects. Objective: this study aims to analyze the effect of gardening therapy on loneliness and quality of life among the elderly. Methods: This quantitative study employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. Total sampling was used to select 30 elderly participants from UPTD Social Protection Office of Banten Province, meeting established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Gardening therapy significantly reduced loneliness scores from a mean of 71.03 to 27.72 and increased quality of life scores from 64.80 to 103.77. Paired Sample T-test showed p = 0.000 for both loneliness and quality of life, indicating significant changes. Conclusion: Gardening therapy has a significant effect on reducing loneliness and improving quality of life among the elderly at UPTD Social Protection Office of Banten Province. Recommendation: Gardening therapy should be incorporated as a routine program in social care institutions for elderly physical and psychosocial intervention. date: 2025 type: Thesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/49215/2/WANDA%20AULIANI%20SAFITRI_8884210014_CP.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/49215/21/SKRIPSI%20FIX%20WANDA%20FULL%20TEXT.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/49215/4/WANDA%20AULIANI%20SAFITRI_8884210014_02.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/49215/23/WANDA%20AULIANI%20SAFITRI_8884210014_03.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/49215/6/WANDA%20AULIANI%20SAFITRI_8884210014_04.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/49215/8/WANDA%20AULIANI%20SAFITRI_8884210014_06.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/49215/9/WANDA%20AULIANI%20SAFITRI_8884210014_REF.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/49215/10/WANDA%20AULIANI%20SAFITRI_8884210014_LAMP.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/49215/31/SKRIPSI%20FIX%20WANDA_01.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/49215/32/SKRIPSI%20FIX%20WANDA_05.pdf identifier: SAFITRI, WANDA AULIANI (2025) PENGARUH TERAPI BERKEBUN TERHADAP KESEPIAN DAN KUALITAS HIDUP PADA LANSIA DI UPTD DINAS PERLINDUNGAN SOSIAL PROVINSI BANTEN TAHUN 2025.
