So far, Cognitive Stimulation Therapy has been implemented in Indonesia only in research/academic settings. The 2019 study that was conducted in nursing homes shows a significant difference in the cognitive function within attention domain and memory domain measured after participation in the CST intervention (Triestuning & Sipollo, 2019).  Another study published in 2019 also finds significant differences in cognitive functions between the CST group compared to the control group (Komalasari, 2014). However, a pre-post study published in 2014 with a small sample showed no significant impact of CST in improving cognition (Jakarta Smart City, 2015).
