Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui pengaruh kombinasicontrast bath dan range of motion terhadap penurunan skala nyeri pada penderitaosteoarthritis di Desa Kaligerman Kecamatan Karanggeneng Kabupaten Lamongan.Desain penelitian menggunakan pre-ekspiremental (one group pre-post-test),menggunakan teknik consecutive sampling dengan 31 responden. Variabel independenpenelitian adalah contrast bath dan range of motion dengan variabel dependen skalanyeri. Instrumen yang digunakan yaitu lembar observasi, SOP contrast bath dan rangeof motion. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perbedaan rata- rata skala nyeri sebelum diberiintervensi 4,03 dan sesudah diberi intervensi 2,65. Uji statistik wilcoxon pre-post skalanyeri dengan nilai signifikan p=0.001 (p<0.005)terdapat pengaruh kombinasi contrastbath dan range of motion terhadap penurunan skala nyeri pada penderita osteoarthritisdi Desa Kaligerman KecamatanKaranggeneng Kabupaten Lamongan.

The independent variablesofthe study are bath contrast and range of motion with the dependent variablepain scale. The instruments used were observation sheets, SOP contrast bath andrange of motion. The results showed that the average difference in pain scalebefore beinggiven an intervention was 4.03 and after being given an intervention,it was 2.65. The Wilcoxon pre-post pain scale statistical test with a significantvalue of p=0.001 (p<0.005) had the effect of a combination of contrast bath andrange of motion on reducing the pain scale in patients with osteoarthritis inKaligerman Village, Karanggeneng District, Lamongan Regency. The provision oftherapy is expected to increase the degree of public health and become analternative non-medical therapyin reducing the pain scale.Keywords : Osteoarthriti, Pain Scale, Range Of Motion, Contrast Bath]]>
