Nyeri yang dialami lansia dengan osteoartritis sering kambuh dan resisten terhadap analgetik sehingga diperlukan terapi alternatif untuk mengurangi nyeri. Jahe merah adalah jahe yang sangat cocok untuk dijadikan herbal dan lebih banyak digunakan sebagai obat, karena kandungan minyak atsiri dan oleoresinnya paling tinggi dan mengandung gingerol diduga dapat memblok produksi prostaglandin sehingga dapat menurunkan nyeri. Penelitian ini berjudul pengaruh kompres jahe merah terhadap penurunan nyeri osteoartritis pada lansia. Metode penelitian adalah pre-eksperiment dengan one group pre-test dan post-test design with control group. Pengumpulan data dilakukan pada saat sebelum dan sesudah pemberian intervensi kompres jahe merah. Pengambilan sampel dengan purposive sampling merupakan teknik penentuan sampel dengan pertimbangan tertentu. Alat penelitian ini terdiri kompres jahe merah dan lembar observasi nyeri pre test dan post test. Analisa data dengan menggunakan Paired-Sample T Test karena data berdistribusi normal. Hasil menunjukkan ada pengaruh pemberian kompres jahe merah terhadap penurunan nyeri osteoartritis pada lansia dengan p value 0,006 dan rata-rata penurunan skala nyeri 3,16. Hasil uji Mann-Whitney didapatkan p value 0,000 rata-rata penurunan nyeri pada kelompok intervensi 2,26 dan kelompok kontrol 1,16, artinya ada perbedaan pemberian kompres jahe merah terhadap penurunan nyeri osteoartritis pada lansia. Kata kunci: osteoartritis, lansia, jahe merah Pain experienced by elderly people with osteoarthritis often relapse and is resistant to analgesics so alternative therapies are needed to reduce pain. Red ginger is a ginger that is very suitable to be used asan herb and is more widely used as medicine, because the content of essential oils and oleoresin is the highest and contains gingerol which is thought to block the production of prostaglandins so that it can reduce pain. This study entitled the effect of red ginger compresses on reducing osteoarthritis pain in the elderly. The research method is pre-experiment with one group pre-test and post-test design with control group. Data collection was carried out before and after the intervention of red ginger compresses. Sampling with purposive sampling is a technique of determining samples with certain considerations. This research tool consisted of red ginger compresses and pain observation sheets pre test and post test. Analyze data using Paired-Sample T Test because data is normally distributed. The results showed there was an effect of giving red ginger compresses to the reduction of osteoarthritis pain in the elderly with p value 0.006 and the average reduction in pain scale 3,16. The Mann-Whitney test results obtained p value 0,000 the average reduction in pain in the intervention group 2,26 and the control group 1,16, meaning that there is a difference in the provision of red ginger compresses to decrease osteoarthritis pain in the elderly.

Background: Chronic osteoarthritis (OA) pain leads to severe impairments in physical functioning and quality of life. Patients & methods: Data of patients with severe chronic knee and/or hip OA pain were extracted from the database of a prospective, noninterventional trial to assess the benefits of tapentadol prolonged release (PR) in elderly patients (>65 years of age; n = 1162) compared with younger patients (≤65 years of age; n = 498). Results: Tapentadol PR treatment (up to 3 months) significantly reduced pain intensity and pain-related restrictions on daily functioning and significantly improved physical and mental quality of life in both patient groups. The incidence of adverse drug reactions was low. Conclusion: Tapentadol PR is a useful strong analgesic to improve pain intensity, physical functioning and quality of life in elderly OA patients.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease, where the overall structure of the joint undergoes pathological changes. One of the changes that occur in the musculoskeletal system can cause mobility disorders. The impact that will occur in the elderly with osteoarthritis is likely to experience a decrease in musculoskeletal function. This study aims to determine the effect of osteoarthritis knee joint pain levels before and after exercise therapy for joint mobility. The design of this study uses a quasi-experimental method with a Pre and Post Test without Control research design. The sample in this study consisted of 30 respondents. The sampling method in this study is accidental sampling. Research data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. It is known that more than half of respondents who have osteoarthritis are in the age range of 45-59 years, which is 46.7% (14 respondents). The results showed that in general osteoarthritis pain before ROM was in the range of 80% moderate pain, and the results showed that in general osteoarthritis pain after ROM was in the range of 76.7%. Data analysis found that the p-value was 0,000 (p = <0.05) indicating that there was an effect of exercise joint mobility on the level of osteoarthritis knee joint pain in the elderly in the Posyandu of the Belakang Padang elderly. This research is expected to be able to contribute and develop nursing, as a material for making policies on psychological approaches in the form of exercise therapy for joint mobility in overcoming joint pain in patients with osteoarthritis. osteoarthritis by involving variables that affect the level of pain.

Aim Of The Study:The study aims to review depression and pain in the elderly with knee Osteoarthritis. Material And Methods: Subjects fullling selection criteria were recruited from the Department of Orthopaedics Surgery, KGMU, Lucknow, India. 1. Mobile numbers of subjects from the records available were obtained from JANUARY 2018 to JANUARY 2020 2. Topics were contacted over the telephone and recruited according to the nomination standards for the study. The call was recorded after taking consent. 3. Subjects were contacted during the daytime 10 am -2 pm. 4. Subjects were approached three times. 5. The survey was completed in a maximum of 2 sessions,15 minutes each (if the subject was not comfortable answering in a single session). 6. Proper introduction of the Doctor calling them and the purpose of the telephone was given to the subjects. 7. Telephone subjects were interviewed based on the sociodemographic questionnaire. 8. Following the basic interview, subjects were evaluated using scales that include PHQ-9, SF-12 and WOMAC. ( Antonio Escobar, 2006) 9. HRQoL was measured by SF-12 which includes general health, limitation of activities, physical health, emotional health and social activities. ( MoheddineYounsi, 2015 ) 10. PHQ-9 to assess the diagnosis and severity of depression was applied. 11. WOMAC scale was applied which gives the status of pain, stiffness and physical disabilities. 12. Each assessment took 20-30 minutes. 13. If subjects and attenders ask for advice regarding the treatment were addressed properly following guidance from consultants. 14. For the subjects with depression, the advice was given to consult the geriatric mental health helpline number of KGMU. The specimen length assumed for this study is 90 (30 in each group in KL grade 2/3/4). Results: This study shows that depression was extensively observed among sufferers with knee OA. Patients with knee OA analyzed with these comorbidities encountered more pain and discomfort, had systematic hospital calls, took more medication, and documented less optimal results. Being a cross-sectional, telephonic survey, this study shows results accordingly.( Anirudh Sharma, et al., 2020). Conclusion: Depression seems to have adverse impacts on the sufferers with knee OA. Physicians or caregivers are highly instructed to contemplate these comorbidities in patients with knee OA. KOA studies usually comprise pain and function scores but haven't routinely incorporated psychosocial variables estimating QoL(Prtha Kudesia, et al., 2020). This study concludes that there is a considerable difference in pain and general health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Pain and HRQoL worsen with higher grading of KOA. Eventually, a holistic customised surveillance method is essential to enhance patient results.( Roman Sosnowski, et al., 2017).

Knee osteoarthritis is a degerative disease in the form of musculoskeletal disorders that occurs in the knee joint due to the integrity of the damaged articular cartilage which can cause pain. Pain in the knee that is allowed to continue without treatment will cause physical dysfunction in the individual with knee osteoarthritis. One of the interventions to treat pain in knee osteoarthritis is retrowalking. The mechanism of action of retrowalking in reducing pain is through its unique biomechanical mechanism, starting from the toe on phase. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of retrowalking to reduce pain in the elderly with knee osteoarthritis at Kendal Kerep Public Health Center.
