Application of Rheumatic Gymnastics Therapy to Address Acute Rheumatic Pain Nursing Problems in the Elderly at Nursing Home: A Case Study
Subject
Rheumatic Gymnastics Therapy, Pain, Nursing, Elderly
Description
Rheumatism in the elderly occurs due to swollen joints, inflammation or
damage caused by damaged joints and tense muscles. These changes include
the presence of disease that causes damage to cartilage, degenerative joints
and nearby bones, and can cause inflammation of the inner lining of the joint.
Complaints that are often felt by someone who has arthritis are pain in the
limbs, inflammation of the joints, joint stiffness, joint sounds. The purpose of
this scientific work is to overcome the application of rheumatic gymnastic
therapy in dealing with acute pain in rheumatic clients. The research method
used was a case study through a process of assessment to evaluation of
nursing related to acute pain experienced by rheumatism sufferers and given
therapeutic interventions by rheumatic gymnastics. Rheumatic gymnastics is
an alternative treatment for the health of the elderly body and trains the
ability of joint muscles so that they do not experience joint stiffness,
rheumatic gymnastics also prevents degenerative growth in aging, facilitates
adjustments in health. Therapy was given for 3 days with a duration of 15
minutes, analyzed to find a reduced time in 30 minutes which was carried out
at least 2 times in 1 week. And these exercises are very effective and in
accordance with the energy released by the elderly. Physical exercise time
that is carried out for more than 30 minutes can cause fatigue in the elderly
which can cause discomfort. The results of the evaluation of the use of
rheumatic gymnastics in reducing the client's acute pain were that after 3
days the evaluation of the client said it was better and in accordance with the
outcome criteria where there were complaints of decreased pain.
Suggestions for future researchers are expected to be able to develop the
theory used and other therapies to reduce client fatigue levels.
