North Sulawesi Province is the 8th province in Indonesia with the highest prevalence of joint disease at 8.35%, while for the city of Manado, the prevalence of joint disease data was 7.27%. One therapy that can be used to reduce pain in gout arthritis patients is warm water compresses.

The provision of comprehensive nursing care can address the nursing problems experienced by clients.
