Abstract Low back pain is a musculoskeletal disorder due to poor activity, which causes pain that is often suffered by the elderly. One of the non-pharmacological pain management methods can be done by back massage with jamun essential oil. Back massage is a technique to massage the back with gentle strokes. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of back massage with jamun essential oil on low back pain in the elderly at the Marelan While Elderly Social Center. This type of research is pre-experimental with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The number of samples was 17 people selected based on the purposive sampling technique. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate analyses. Based on the paired t-test analysis, it shows that doing back massage can reduce the scale of low back pain in the elderly with an r value 0.001 (<0.05). It can be concluded that there is a significant effect of back massage with jamun essential oil on the low back pain scale in the elderly at the Marelan While Elderly Social Center. Based on the results of this study, back massage with jamun essential oil is an alternative nursing intervention to reduce low back pain.
