Abstract
Backgroud: Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic joint disease in the elderly, characterized by persistent pain in the knees and joints, with moderate intensity that disrupts the patient's comfort.
Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of non-pharmacological therapies in reducing joint pain intensity in elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Method: Journal article searches were conducted using the databases ProQuest, PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Ebsco, covering the years 2020–2025. Keywords used included “joint pain,” “non-pharmacological therapy,” and “nursing care for rheumatoid arthritis,” in both English and Indonesian. A total of 486 articles were identified, and after screening using the PRISMA flowchart, 11 articles were selected for final analysis. The quality of the articles was assessed using the JBI Quality Appraisal tool.
Results: Analysis of the 11 selected articles revealed various non-pharmacological therapies, including massage, olive oil application, aromatherapy, warm compresses, and music therapy. The most effective therapies for pain relief were music therapy and massage compared to other interventions. Music therapy enhances the production of neurotransmitters. Administering therapy for 10–20 minutes twice a day for 3–7 days was shown to reduce pain scores by an average of 2.7 points. Massage therapy also showed effectiveness, with an average reduction of 2.5 points in pain intensity.
Conclusion: The most effective non-pharmacological interventions for reducing joint pain in elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis are music therapy and massage.
Keywords: Joint Pain; Non-Pharmacological Therapy; Rheumatoid Arthritis.
