Abstract

Older adults represent a population group that is vulnerable to various health problems due to the aging process, one of which is changes in the gastrointestinal system that may lead to gastritis. This condition often causes chronic pain that can reduce the quality of life among older adults. This case study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of warm ginger compresses as a non-pharmacological intervention in reducing chronic pain in older adults with gastritis. The intervention included education regarding the benefits of warm ginger compresses and a demonstration of their proper application. Evaluation was conducted by measuring changes in pain intensity using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The results showed a decrease in pain scale from 3 (mild pain) before the intervention to 1 after the administration of warm ginger compresses for two consecutive days, with a duration of 20 minutes per day. These findings indicate that warm ginger compresses are effective in reducing pain intensity among older adults with gastritis. This intervention is expected to serve as a simple, safe, and efficient alternative therapy to support pain management in older adults.
