Pain management with non-pharmacological nursing actions that can be used to relieve joint pain in the elderly, namely progressive muscle relaxation therapy (ROP). This study aims to determine the impact of progressive muscle relaxation (ROP) on joint pain in the elderly at Wisma Melati UPT PSTW Jember. This research was conducted quantitatively with the type of quasi-experimental research using a research design approach (one group pre-test and post-test design). Samples were taken by purposive sampling. The sample population used in this study was elderly at Wisma Melati UPT PSTW Jember, with nine elderly people selected. The results showed that the respondents who took part were on average 77.11 years old (SD=5.732), the youngest was 70 years old and the oldest was 90 years old. The average value of the pain scale before performing progressive muscle relaxation (ROP) is 3.44 with a minimum value of 2 and a maximum value of 5. The mean value of the pain scale after administration of progressive muscle relaxation (ROP) is 2.67 with a minimum value of 0 (no pain) and the maximum value is 5. Based on the results of the analysis test using the t-test paired sample test the results of the joint pain scale before and after progressive muscle relaxation (ROP) was carried out, namely 0.0023 (p <0.005). There was a change or difference in the decrease in pain scale before and after giving progressive muscle relaxation therapy (ROP) to the elderly.

Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among school-aged adolescents have become an increasingly important public health concern due to poor ergonomic practices, prolonged sedentary behavior, and excessive use of digital devices. Vocational high school students are particularly vulnerable because they engage in both classroom-based learning and practical activities that may increase the risk of musculoskeletal problems. Therefore, effective educational interventions are needed to improve awareness and knowledge of MSD prevention from an early age. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the SMART POSTURE (Student Movement Awareness for Reducing Tension and Posture Injury) program in improving vocational high school students’ knowledge of musculoskeletal disorder prevention. A one-group pretest–posttest design was employed. Twenty-six students from Roudlotul Hikmah Vocational High School were selected using purposive sampling. The SMART POSTURE intervention consisted of ergonomic education, demonstrations of correct posture, stretching exercises, and interactive discussions delivered in a single 90–120-minute session. Knowledge levels were assessed using a 10-item multiple-choice questionnaire administered before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with a significance level of p < 0.05. The mean knowledge score increased from 58.27 ± 10.34 in the pretest to 85.19 ± 7.42 in the posttest, representing an improvement of 26.92 points. In addition, participants demonstrated improved ability to apply ergonomic sitting and standing postures, appropriate digital device usage, and proper school bag carrying techniques. High levels of participation and engagement were also observed throughout the intervention. The SMART POSTURE program effectively improved students’ knowledge and awareness regarding musculoskeletal disorder prevention. Integrating ergonomic education, practical demonstrations, and stretching exercises may serve as an effective health promotion strategy to foster ergonomic behaviors and support musculoskeletal health among adolescents.
