Background: Sirep, is one of the traditional intervention of people in East Java Indonesia, especially Tengger tribe using spells to meet the needs of human sleep. In context Indonesia, Elderly is human being aged 60 years and older who experience sleep disturbances fulfillment. Furthermore, sirep as immunomodulator effect on levels of cortisol, IFN-gRα and IL-10 is still unknown in nursing perspective. Method: The population of this study were 70 elderly with the number ofrespondents were 43 elderly. They were divided into two groups that are (1) 23 elderly with 6-month sirep intervention (mean age, 69.6 ± 5.2 years) as an experiment group, and  (2) 20 elderly as control group (65.8 ± 5.4 years). The need of sleep is implemented to Evaluate the sample of immune modulation, cortisol levels, IFN-gRα  and IL-10. The molecular biology of the samples was determined using  ELISA analysis. The statistical analysis of the data used Determine ANOVA and t-test. Results: After the 6 -month intervention, there re is significant changes in serum cortisol levels (p = 0.0001) and a different test with a control intervention was also significant (p = 0.00 1 3). Significant changes in serumlevels of IFN-gRα  is (p = 0.0003) and a different test with a control intervention is also significant (p = 0.016 4), while the change in the levels of IL-10 in serum is significant (p = 0.0003) and test different intervention with no significant control (p = 0.1143). Conclusion: This study supports the hypothesis that sirepcan improve immune modulator in elderly. However, immune modulator showed a slight improvement in the nursing intervention of sirep group, suggesting that a longer or more frequent sessions of intervention might have an effect..
