Title

‘A Study to Assess the Effect of Hot WaterApplication with Epsom Salt versusPlain Water Application to Reduce Knee Joint Pain among Senior Citizen in Residing Selected Slum Areas Of Pcmc.

Abstract

Introduction: Aging is a natural process. As people become older, the functioning and adaptability of the tissues and different organs decline and chances of suffering of geriatric populations are more. In India it is the most common cause of job related disability and the second most common neurological ailment- only headache in more common. Heat applications have four main effects on body tissues, including pain relief, muscle relaxation, vasodilatation, and connective tissue relaxation. Epsom salthelps to maintain the proper functioning of muscles and nerves within the body, as well as maintain bone and joint strength. The present study title: A comprehensive study to assess the effectiveness of hot water application with Epsom Salt versus plain water application to reduce knee joint pain among old age in area of PCMC. The objectives are To identify the level of joint pain among old age people in Group I and Group II, to evaluate the effectiveness of hot water compress with Epsom salt in reducing joint pain among old age people in Group I and Group II, To find the association between degree of joint pain and selected demographic variables Material and Methods: In present study, researcher adopted two group pre-test post-test pre experimental research design. The study carried out on 60samples. Simple Random sampling technique used. Data analysis was done mainly using descriptive statistics test- Chai square was applied. Result: In Group I, in pretest, 3.3% of the old age patients had moderate knee joint pain(score 16-30), 80% of them had severe pain (Score 31-45) and 16.7% of them had extreme joint pain (score 46-60). In posttest, 76.7% of them had mild knee pain and 23.3% of them had moderate knee pain. In Group II, in pretest, 66.7% of the old age patients had moderate knee joint pain (score 16-30) and 33.3% of them had severe pain (Score 31-45). In posttest, 73.3% of the old age patients had moderate knee joint pain (score 16-30) and 26.7% of them had severe pain (Score 31-45).This indicates that the knee Conclusion: From the findings it is proved that Epsom salt fomentation found to be effective in relieving Knee Related pain.
