The elderly are old people who already have a lot of time to practice their religious activities, including taking part in recitations. The elderly who do not regularly participate in recitation activities experience depressive symptoms such as; a lack of confidence, feeling lonely, and loss of enthusiasm and hope in life. This study aims to determine the difference in the level of depression in the elderly who attend recitations and do not attend recitations at Kaye Lee Village, Ingin Jaya District, and Aceh Besar District. This research is quantitative with a comparative descriptive approach. The number of respondents in this study was 88 seniors, with the condition 44 elderly people attended the recitation and 44 did not attend the recitation. Sampling was carried out using purposive sampling. The results showed that results of the Mann-Whitney test showed that the mean rank level of depression in the elderly in the group taking part in recitation was 38.52 and in the group not attending recitation was 50.49 and the p-value was 0.025. The level of depression in the group attending the recitation was lower than the group who did not attend the recitation, meaning that the elderly who were active in recitation activities had a lower risk of experiencing depression. It is recommended that the results of this study form the basis for establishing programs to empower the elderly in the community, such as recitation programs in the village for social interaction and spiritual needs with the surrounding community, especially on aspects of the quality of life for the elderly in facing old age.Keywords: depression; elderly; recitationPerbedaan Tingkat Depresi pada Lansia yang Mengikuti Pengajian dan Tidak Mengikuti Pengajian di Kecamatan Ingin Jaya Kabupaten Aceh BesarABSTRAK Lansia merupakan usia lanjut yang sudah memiliki banyak waktuuntuk mengamalkan kegiatan keagamaannya termasuk mengikuti pengajian.
