Introduction: Recent research has provided data on the efficacy of the massage therapy and the role of essential oil in the management of osteoarthritis (OA) symptoms. Although both areas of research have demonstrated strong evidence that the muscles and massage with essential oil may affect OA symptoms, massage with essential oil applied on the quadriceps muscle has received no attention. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of red ginger massage on joint stiffness and functional disability in elderly with osteoarthritis.Methods: This study was a randomized control group pre-test and post-test experimental study design involving 62 elderly with osteoarthritis divided into two groups namely red ginger massage and control groups by random cluster sampling. The instrument used was Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Statistical test used were paired t-test and MANCOVA.Results: Baseline value of stiffness and functional disability in intervention group were 4.47 ± 1.717 and 35.93 ± 12.806. After 8 weeks stiffness and functional disability became 2.40 ± 1.380 and 19.50 ± 9.420 Stiffness and functional disability were decreased on intervention group with p-value 0.000 and 0.004. It means there was influenced by red ginger massage on stiffness and functional disability in elderly with osteoarthritis.Conclusion: Red ginger massage can be applied as a complementary treatment to help reduced joint stiffness and functional disability in addition to standard drug treatment usage in osteoarthritis disease.
Adolescents who live at an orphanage may be at risk of mental disorders among adolescents. As adolescent orphans usually have bad memories, therapeutic groups are alternatives to overcome this issue. A civic engagement program was conducted to tackle development issues in adolescents as it performed a therapeutic approach with their peers. This program involved twenty-one female adolescents in Saint Beatrix orphanage Sidoarjo. They took a pre-test, which indicated a low level of knowledge about adolescent development. Group therapy was conducted in seven sessions, each of which took an hour. In the evaluation stage, questionnaires were distributed to test the adolescents’ knowledge about adolescent development. After conducting the therapeutic group therapy, it showed that adolescents’ knowledge about the development stages and their challenges improved. Based on the result of the Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test, it's known that p-value = 0,000 with (ɑ<0.05), which means therapeutic group therapy may enhance knowledge about adolescent development stages to promote a healthy lifestyle in adolescents
Pendahuluan : Osteoarthritis (OA) merupakan penyakit kronik progresif yang sering dialami oleh lansia. Kerusakan jaringan tulang rawan pada daerah sendi mengakibatkan rasa nyeri kronis yang kemudian menyebabkan gangguan pergerakan. Hambatan ini menyebabkan lansia membatasi aktivitas yang dikemudian hari akan mengarah pada penurunan mobilitas. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengidentifikasi pengaruh pemberian masase jahe merah terhadap nyeri pada lansia dengan osteoarthritis. Metode : Jenis penelitian ini adalah true eksperimental dengan rancangan randomized control group pre-test post-test design. Responden akan terbagi dalam dua kelompok yakni kelompok dengan masase jahe merah dan kontrol. Teknik sampling menggunakan cluster random sampling sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 62 responden. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah WOMAC. Uji statistik menggunakan paired t test, dan MANCOVA. Hasil : Dari 62 responden yang terdaftar, hanya 60 responden yang menyelesaikan penelitian. Hasil uji statistik menunjukkan bahwa masase jahe merah berpengaruh terhadap penurunan respon nyeri (p = 0,001). Diskusi : Kombinasi intervensi masase dengan penggunaan minyak atsiri jahe merah secara simultan memberikan pengaruh yang baik terhadap penurunan nyeri pada lansia dengan osteoarthritis. Saran : Masase jahe merah dapat diterapkan sebagai perawatan komplementer untuk membantu menurunkan tingkat nyeri selain penggunaan obat-obatan standar pelayanan pada penyakit osteoarthritis.
