Abstract

Background: Chronic gastritis often causes pain that decrease patients quality of life. Non pharmacological pain management techniques, such as deep breathing relaxation and the RINDU (Rapport, Intention, Negotiation, Direct Suggestion, Utilization) method are potential intervenstion to reduce pain perception.
Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of deep breathing relaxation and the RINDU method in reducing pain intensity among chronic gastritis patient at RSUD PROF. DR. Margono Soekarjo Purwokerto.
Method: This quasi-experimental study used a pre-test and post-test control group design. Thirty-two respondents with chronic gastritis were divided into two groups: deep breathing relaxation (n=16) and RINDU method (n=16). Pain intensity was measured using a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data normality was tested with shapiro-wilk, while paired t-test and independent t-test were used to analyze the difference within and between groups. Ethical clearence was obtain from the health research ethics committee of RSUD PROF. DR. Margono Soekarjo Purwokerto.
Results: Both interventions significantly reduced pain intensity (p<0.01). The reduction was greater in the RINDU group (mean decrease = 37.89%) compared to deep breathing relaxation (mean decrease = 7.38%). Independent t-test showed significant differences between groups after intervention (p<0.03).
Conclusion: Both deep breathing relaxation and the RINDU method effectively reduce pain intensity in chronic gastritis patients, but the RINDU method demonstrates higher effectiveness. These techniques can be applied as complementary nursing interventions in managing chronic gastritis pain.
