Metode penelitian melakukan observasi langsung kepada responden dengan mengisi lembar observasi intensitas nyeri pretest dan Posttest dengan skala intensitas nyeri numerik (0-10). Data penelitian dianalisa dengan menggunakan wilcoxon signed rank test. Hasil penelitian didapatkan rata-rata (mean) intensitas nyeri sebelum diberikan kompres jahe sebesar 4,56 dengan standar deviasi 1,381. Rata-rata (mean) intensitas nyeri setelah diberikan kompres jahe sebesar 2,89 dengan standar deviasi 1,451. Dari hasil uji statistik didapatkan nilai p Value (α) sebesar 0,000, bahwa terdapat pengaruh kompres jahe dengan nyeri lutut pada lansia.
