One of the clinical manifestations felt by fracture patients is pain. Pain in fracture sufferers is sharp and stabbing, One way to reduce pain in fracture patients non-pharmacologically is to apply cold compresses to the pain area. Pain can occur in almost every fracture area, if not treated it can have a dangerous effect that will interfere with the healing process and increase morbidity and mortality. The purpose of the service is to increase the insight, knowledge and willingness of the community to apply cold compresses, especially to patients with closed fractures to reduce pain. Participants in this activity were 48 people with closed fractures at the Orthopedic Poly Hospital, Langsa City General Hospital. This community service method first carried out counseling, demonstration of cold compresses using an ice bottle. The results of community service showed that knowledge after being given counseling increased from 54.2% to 72.9% as well as the intensity of pain from moderate pain to mild pain the participants also said it was very comfortable to be given cold compresses. It is hoped that patients with closed fractures can do therapy non-pharmacological cold compresses to reduce pain and reduce the side effects of using drugs.
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.
Background: in 2021 the global world is still covered by the threat of Covid - 19 whose virus continues to mutate and is increasingly dangerous. Until now, the government is still trying to implement the program until the target is achieved.

Data collection using online questionnaires, July - August 2022, comprehensive education using videos and leaflets delivered repeatedly via Whatsapp, taking into account research ethics. Data analysis to test the effectiveness of using the paired sample T test by doing the previous normality and homogeneity tests.Results: the results of the study on the knowledge variable in the intervention group showed significant differences before and after the intervention, p-value 0.000 and t = 9.254. In the control group, there was no significant difference, p-value 0.125 and t -1.562. Variable compliance of respondents implementing health protocols, the group that was given the intervention, there was a significant difference, p-value 0.016 and t -2.488. In the control group, there was no difference with a p-value of 0.351 and t-0.942.Conclusion: online education through video media and leaflets given to the intervention group was effective in increasing respondents' knowledge, so that there was a significant difference in knowledge before and after providing education. Increased knowledge also increases respondents' compliance with health protocols
