The Effect of Cold Compression on the Reduction of Pain Intensity in Patients with Closed Fractures at Kota Langsa Hospital, Indonesia

Nora Hayani

Abstract

Fractures or broken bones are one of the musculoskeletal conditions that often result in pain for patients. The pain experienced can affect the healing process and increase morbidity and mortality rates. Cold compression is one of the non-pharmacological therapies that can be given to reduce pain in fracture patients. This study aims to determine the effect of mean reduction on reducing pain intensity in closed fracture patients at Langsa City Hospital. The method used in this study is quasi-experimental with a one-group pretest-post-test design. The research sample consisted of 30 closed fracture patients using accidental sampling techniques. The results showed a significant effect of cold compression on reducing pain intensity in closed fracture patients, with a p-value of 0.000, smaller than α=0.05. It is hoped that the results of this study can benefit closed fracture patients in hospitals to use non-pharmacological therapy in reducing pain so that patients are not solely dependent on medication.
