The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of giving a mixture of ginger and olive oil on changes in the intensity of rheumatoid arthritis pain in the elderly in one of the villages in Ngawi Regency. This research design is pre-experimental with a one group pretest-post test research design. In this study, the population was 58 elderly people with rheumatoid arthritis pain in Kersikan Village. The sampling technique in this research used a purposive sampling technique with a sample size of 15 respondents. And data collection uses observation sheets. The therapy intervention was carried out for 7 consecutive days. The results of the study showed that the intensity of pain before applying ginger and olive oil was on a pain scale of 5.00 with a minimum pain scale value of 3, a maximum pain scale value of 6, and a standard deviation of 0.867. The intensity of pain after applying ginger and olive oil on the pain scale was 2.29 with a minimum pain scale value of 1, a maximum pain scale value of 1, a maximum pain scale value of 3, and a standard deviation of 0.687. It can be concluded that the results of statistical tests using Wilcoxon p value are less than a (a = 0.05), so this means that Ho is rejected and H1 is accepted. Which means that rubbing ginger and olive oil is effective in reducing the pain scale of rheumatoid arthritis in the elderly. Reducing the scale of pain in rheumatoid arthritis sufferers in the elderly can use a mixture of ginger and olive oil as a non-pharmacological therapy. It is hoped that this alternative therapy can be used and made a reference for non-pharmacological treatment in the problem of rheumatoid arthritis pain in the elderly.
