Latar Belakang : Seiring bertambahnya jumlah lansia pada tahun 2023 bertambah pula jumlah
penderita ostheoarthritis (Rikesda, 2018). Beberapa literatur Kompres hangat jahe dapat
mengurangi nyeri sendi lansia karena mengandung minyak atsiri yang mempunyai beberapa
senyawa, shogaol, zingeron dan gingerol (Potter & Perry, 2017).
Tujuan : Memaparkan hasil asuhan keperawatan berdasarkan EBNP berupa terapi kompres
hangat jahe meliputi fase pengkajian, intervensi, implementasi dan evaluasi pada penerima di
Rumpelsos Pucang Gading Semarang.
Metode : Desain karya ilmiah ini menggunakan pendekatan studi kasus individu atau kelompok
kecil yang berupa kualitatif sehingga menghasilkan sebuah narasi tentang hasil yang didapatkan
oleh peneliti
Hasil Asuhan Keperawatan : hasil pengkajian awal menunjukkan bahwa klien I (Ny. K)
dengan usia 60 tahun memiliki skor nyeri 6 (sedang), klien II (Ny. L) berusia 76 tahun memiliki
skor nyeri 6 (sedang) dan klien III (Ny. H) berusia 74 tahun memiliki skor nyeri 5 (sedang).
Diskusi: Didapatkan penurunan skala VAS dari nyeri sedang menjadi nyeri ringan pada ketiga
klien setelah dilakukan penerapan asuhan keperawatan dan penerapan kompres hangat jahe
selama 1 minggu. Respon subjektif ketiga klien mengatakan bahwa selama dilakukan penerapan
kompres hangat jahe klien merasa lebih rileks, dan nyeri pada sendi lutut berkurang, klien pun
sangat senang mengetahui bahwa terdapat alternatif lain untuk menurunkan tingkat nyeri.
Rekomendasi : Nyeri Ostheoarthritis diharapkan untuk bisa menerapkan kompres hangat jahe
secara mandiri, dikarenakan tatacara dan bahan yang mudah didapatkan
