Abstract

Background & Objective: Gouty arthritis is an inflammatory joint disease commonly experienced by the elderly and characterized by increased uric acid levels and acute pain. Non-pharmacological interventions such as warm compresses made from lemongrass and cinnamon are considered effective in reducing pain through their anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory effects. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of warm compresses made from lemongrass and cinnamon in reducing pain levels in elderly people with gouty arthritis in Padang Cermin Village, Way Khilau District. Method: The method used was a case study with a nursing process approach, including assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The intervention was carried out for 7 days with a frequency of once a day for 20 minutes. Result: The results showed a significant decrease in pain scale in both clients: Client 1 experienced a decrease from a pain scale of 6 to 2, while Client 2 experienced a decrease from a pain scale of 5 to 1 after the intervention. In addition, clients reported an increase in comfort and mobility.
