Abstract

ABSTRACT Chronic pain in older adults with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a significant health problem, often leading to impairments in daily activities, anxiety, and a decreased quality of life. This condition necessitates accessible and effective non-pharmacological interventions to address pain in the older adult population. This case study aims to implement and analyze the results of applying Virtual Reality Guided Imagery (SI-VIGUR) therapy as a nursing intervention to reduce chronic pain in older adult patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis at Tresna Werda Nursing Home, Lubuklinggau City in 2025. This case study involved two older adult individuals (Ny. S and Ny. A) suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis with complaints of chronic pain. The SI-VIGUR intervention was implemented for 3 consecutive days for each subject. Evaluation was conducted daily using pain level indicators from SLKI (Standard for Nursing Outcome Indicators, Indonesia) on a 1-5 scale (Increased to Improved), which included Protective Behavior, Pain Complaints, and Restlessness, as well as the Numeric Pain Scale (0-10). The implementation of SI-VIGUR consistently showed significant improvement across all indicators of chronic pain in both subjects. For Ny. S, the pain scale decreased from 6 at the beginning of the intervention to 2 on the third day, accompanied by improvements in Protective Behavior, Pain Complaints, and Restlessness, which showed progress from 'Initial Assessment' values to 'Improved' at the end of the intervention. Ny. A also showed a similar pattern of improvement, with the pain scale decreasing from 6 to 3 on the third day, although it was stagnant on the second day, and SLKI indicators also showed improvement. Both subjects reported increased relaxation and improved sleep quality. The application of Virtual Reality Guided Imagery (SI-VIGUR) is an effective, easily applicable, and highly potent non-pharmacological nursing intervention for reducing chronic pain in older adult patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. The success of this intervention highlights the role of technology in supporting complementary therapies to improve the quality of life of the older adults. Keywords: Chronic Pain, Older Adults, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Virtual Reality Guided Imagery (SI-VIGUR).    ABSTRAK Nyeri kronis pada lansia dengan Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) merupakan masalah kesehatan yang signifikan, seringkali menyebabkan gangguan aktivitas sehari-hari, kecemasan, dan penurunan kualitas hidup. Kondisi ini menuntut adanya intervensi non-farmakologis yang mudah diakses dan efektif untuk mengatasi nyeri pada populasi lansia. Studi kasus ini bertujuan untuk mengimplementasikan dan menganalisis hasil penerapan terapi Virtual Reality Guided Imagery (SI-VIGUR) sebagai intervensi keperawatan untuk mengurangi nyeri kronis pada pasien lansia dengan Rheumatoid Arthritisdi Panti Jompo Tresna Werda Kota Lubuklinggau pada tahun 2025. Studi kasus ini melibatkan dua individu lansia (Ny. S dan Ny. A) yang menderita Rheumatoid Arthritis dengan keluhan nyeri kronis. Intervensi SI-VIGUR diimplementasikan selama 3 hari berturut-turut pada masing-masing subjek. Evaluasi dilakukan harian menggunakan indikator tingkat nyeri dari SLKI dengan skala 1-5 (Meningkat hingga Membaik), yang mencakup Sikap Protektif, Keluhan Nyeri, dan Gelisah, serta Skala Nyeri Numerik (0-10). Implementasi SI-VIGUR secara konsisten menunjukkan perbaikan signifikan pada semua indikator nyeri kronis pada kedua subjek. Untuk Ny. S, skala nyeri menurun dari 6 pada awal intervensi menjadi 2 pada hari ketiga, disertai perbaikan pada Sikap Protektif, Keluhan Nyeri, dan Gelisah yang menunjukkan progres dari nilai 'Penilaian Awal' menjadi 'Membaik' pada akhir intervensi. Ny. A juga menunjukkan pola perbaikan serupa, dengan skala nyeri menurun dari 6 menjadi 3 pada hari ketiga, meskipun sempat stagnan di hari kedua, dan indikator SLKI juga menunjukkan perbaikan. Kedua subjek melaporkan peningkatan relaksasi dan kualitas tidur. Aplikasi Virtual Reality Guided Imagery (SI-VIGUR) merupakan intervensi keperawatan non-farmakologis yang efektif, mudah diterapkan, dan berpotensi besar untuk mengurangi nyeri kronis pada pasien lansia dengan Rheumatoid Arthritis. Keberhasilan intervensi ini menyoroti peran teknologi dalam mendukung terapi komplementer guna meningkatkan kualitas hidup lansia. Kata Kunci: Rheumatoid Arthritis, Nyeri Kronis, Lansia, Virtual Reality Guided Imagery (SI-VIGUR).

Abstract

Gout arthritis is an inflammatory joint disease often causing severe pain due to the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints. Typically, it results in swelling, redness, and pain in one or multiple joints, particularly in the big toe. This condition is associated with high levels of uric acid in the body, triggering harrowing gout attacks. Thus, physical activities and health education are initial steps in addressing pain complaints and elevations in uric acid levels among older adults and individuals with gout arthritis. This involves providing ergonomic exercise training through lectures, simulations, and practice sessions. The results show a reduction in pain intensity among older adults before and after the activity conducted over a month with four meetings. Furthermore, there is an expectation for the government and stakeholders to introduce scheduled and community-based structured activities as an initial step in addressing health issues, particularly among older adults.

Abstract

Sleep disturbances are common among older adults, especially those residing in nursing homes, and can significantly affect their quality of life and overall well-being. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as guided imagery and virtual reality (VR), have shown promise in improving sleep quality by promoting relaxation and reducing cognitive arousal. The SI-VIGUR (Virtual Reality Guided Imagery) app combines VR technology with guided imagery to offer a therapeutic solution for improving sleep in older adults. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the SI-VIGUR VR app in improving sleep quality among older adults in nursing homes. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Virtual Reality Guided Imagery (SI-VIGUR) application in improving sleep quality among older adults in nursing homes in Palembang City, South Sumatra, Indonesia, in 2024. Using a quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-tests, 80 participants aged 60 or older with sleep disturbances were selected. They received 15-minute SI-VIGUR sessions three times a week for 1 months. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Participants in the experimental group showed a significant improvement in sleep quality, as evidenced by a decrease in their PSQI scores (from 14.20 ± 1.86 to 7.31 ± 2.81). The intervention group demonstrated a marked reduction in poor sleep quality, with a higher percentage of individuals reporting fair or good sleep quality after the intervention compared to before. These findings were statistically significant (p = 0.0001), confirming the effectiveness of the SI-VIGUR app. The SI-VIGUR VR app proved to be an effective non-pharmacological intervention for improving sleep quality among older adults in nursing homes. The results suggest that VR-guided imagery can significantly reduce sleep disturbances, offering a promising solution for enhancing the well-being of older adults in institutional settings.
