Effect of Red Ginger Oleoresin Compress (Zingiber officinale) on Joint Pain in the Elderly
Subject
elderly, joint pain, red ginger
Description
Introduction: Elderly people will experience physical, social, and
psychosocial changes. One of the complaints resulting from physical
changes in the elderly is joint pain. Joint pain in the extremities
experienced by the elderly is one of the most prevalent. Pain therapy using
non-pharmacological techniques is an effective pain treatment and has
minimal side effects for the elderly. One non-pharmacological technique
that can be used to reduce pain in the elderly is using a red ginger
compress. The content of red ginger can help reduce pain and act as an
anti-inflammatory.
Methods: This research utilized a quantitative Quasi-Experimental method
with a Non-Equivalent Control Group Design approach. The sample size
was 70 respondents, chosen using a purposive sampling technique, and
divided into two groups, a control group of 35 respondents and an
intervention group of 35 respondents. The intervention involved applying
red ginger compresses to painful joints for 7 days, and evaluation was
conducted on the third, fifth, and seventh days using the Numeric Rating
Scale (NRS). The research results were analyzed using the Multiple Linear
Regression Test.
Results: The results of the multivariate analysis of a simple linear
regression test showed that there was an effect of simultaneously
administering red ginger compresses with a p-value of 0.000.
Conclusion: Providing a red ginger compress intervention has obtained
significant results or has an effect on pain in the elderly. It is hoped that the
elderly can take advantage of this intervention to reduce the symptoms
and impact of musculoskeletal pain.
