Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive disease of the joints. Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the most common form of osteoarthritis and a leading cause of pain and impaired function. Revulsive compresses are techniques used to reduce pain and related KOA effects. Aim: Evaluate the effect of revulsive compresses on knee associated symptoms and pain severity among patients with knee osteoarthritis. Design: A quasi-experimental design was utilized. Setting: The study was conducted at the Orthopedic and Rheumatology Outpatient Clinics of El Nasr Insurance Hospital in Helwan. Sample: A purposive sample of 60 adult patients with knee osteoarthritis. Tools: Four tools were used including; A Structured Interviewing Questionnaire, Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Pain Disability Index (PDI) & Numeric Pain Rating Scale. Results: Mean age of studied patients were 47.4 ± 10.04, 70% complained of pain, swelling and movement restriction. There was a highly statistically significant difference in total KOOS scores post intervention as compared to pre intervention. There was a highly statistically significant difference among studied patients pre and post intervention total pain disability index (p-value = 0.00). There was a statistically significant reduction with improvement in the total mean score of pain severity level post intervention of revulsive compresses . Conclusion: Revulsive compresses had a positive and significant effect in reducing the knee osteoarthritis symptoms and pain level of patients. Recommendations: Revulsive compresses should be recommended as a nursing intervention protocol during the care of patients with knee osteoarthritis.
