Abstrak

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that can cause persistent joint pain and functional limitations, particularly affecting the well-being of older adults. Complementary topical approaches using ginger and cajeput oil have been proposed as supportive options for pain management.

Objective: To analyze the effect of a combination of grated ginger and cajeput oil on pain intensity among older adults with rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: A quasi-experimental study using a pretest–posttest control-group design was conducted among 52 older adults selected through purposive sampling. Participants were allocated to an intervention group (n = 26), which received a topical combination of grated ginger and cajeput oil, and a control group (n = 26), which received care according to the usual procedure. Pain intensity was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Within-group changes were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and between-group differences were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test.

Results: The intervention group showed a statistically significant pretest–posttest difference in pain intensity (p < 0.001), whereas the control group did not (p = 0.157). The post-intervention comparison between groups was also statistically significant (Mann–Whitney U test, p < 0.001). The reported mean ranks were 13.54 for the intervention group and 39.46 for the control group.

Conclusion: The findings demonstrate a statistically significant difference in pain outcomes following the intervention, suggesting its potential contribution to pain reduction among the study participants. These results highlight the promise of the intervention as an approach to improving pain outcomes and provide a basis for further research with more comprehensive reporting and controlled study designs.
