Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints and can affect the entire body. This autoimmune and progressive condition, if not properly managed, may decrease the patient’s quality of life. Appropriate medical management and family involvement are essential to enhance patient independence Objective: This study aims to describe nursing care for patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and explain
efforts to reduce pain and improve patients’ ability to perform daily activities Method: This research used a descriptive case study approach, consisting of assessment, nursing diagnosis determination, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Data were obtained through interviews, observation, and documentation studies Results: The results showed that the patient experienced chronic pain in the knee and hand joints, accompanied by limited mobility due to joint stiffness.

improvement in the patient’s ability to carry out daily activities Conclusion: Comprehensive and continuous nursing care for patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life.
