Pengendalian Asam Urat dengan Kompres Jahe (Ginger) Di Desa Poko Kecamatan Jambon Kabupaten Ponorogo

Abstract

The practice of community service aims to create a better life for society. Part of the service program carried out in Poko Village, Jambon District, Ponorogo Regency. There are still many people in Poko village who do not care about bone health, never knowing what normal uric acid levels are in working age and old age. Many people still have activities and habits such as not sleeping enough, sleeping too late and smoking. Likewise, this is done by people who work as teachers, who must have a strong immune system, but even so, this does not rule out the possibility of developing gout due to many different factors. Therefore, we want to create an activity program "Prevention and Control of Gout in Poko Village, Jambon District, Ponorogo Regency" to determine the hematological and physiological status of blood (uric acid concentration) which will help overcome this problem. Due to the influence of diet, work and regulatory imbalances in the body, non-pharmacological measures are needed to reduce joint pain in the elderly, one of which is non-pharmacological therapy with ginger solution compresses. This study aims to determine the effect of applying ginger solution compresses (zingiber officinale roscoe) on gout pain.
