Abstract

Joint pain caused by gout is one of the common health problems experienced by older adults and may lead to limited physical activity and decreased quality of life. Non-pharmacological management is one approach that can be applied to help reduce pain complaints, one of which is aromatherapy massage using herbal-based oils. However, older adults’ knowledge and practical skills regarding the use of complementary therapy are still limited. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of older adults in managing gout-related joint pain through health education, aromatherapy massage demonstrations, and training on preparing herbal aromatherapy oils. The activity was conducted on October 7th, 2025, at Sekolah Lansia Lontara, UPT KB Rappocini, Minasa Sari Subdistrict, Makassar City, involving 24 participants. The methods used included health education sessions, interactive discussions, demonstrations of aromatherapy massage techniques, practical training in preparing herbal aromatherapy oils using clove oil, lemongrass oil, ginger oil, and lavender oil, followed by evaluation through pre-test and post-test. The results showed an increase in participants’ knowledge and skills regarding gout-related joint pain management. The level of participants’ knowledge and skills increased from 17.21% before the intervention to 82.79% after the activity. Participants also showed high enthusiasm during the practical sessions and were able to understand the process of preparing aromatherapy oils and performing simple massage techniques that can be independently applied at home. This community service activity had a positive impact on improving older adults’ knowledge and skills in managing gout-related joint pain through non-pharmacological approaches based on aromatherapy massage and the use of herbal ingredients. This program is expected to support older adults’ independence in managing pain complaints and contribute to improving their quality of life.
