Inflammatory conditions in urinary tract infections often cause pain and can reduce the patient's quality of life. Pain management in UTI patients does not only rely on pharmacological therapy, but can be combined with non-pharmacological interventions such as deep breathing, relaxation and warm compresses. This case study aims to illustrate the application of these two interventions in nursing care for patients with chronic UTI. The study used a descriptive method with a case study approach on one patient diagnosed with chronic UTI and comorbid diabetes mellitus. Pain intensity was assessed in patients using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) with a score of 0–10, a standard WHO scale for assessing pain perception. The deep breathing relaxation intervention was given for 15 minutes, and warm compresses in the suprapubic area for 15 minutes, carried out twice daily for three consecutive days. The results showed a decrease in pain from 6 to 3. There was an increase in comfort, sleep quality, and the patient's understanding of infection prevention efforts. The evaluation results indicate that some to all of the care objectives have been achieved according to the Indonesian Nursing Outcome Standards (SLKI). Deep breathing, relaxation, and warm compresses have proven effective as simple, safe, non-pharmacological interventions that can improve the comfort of patients with chronic UTIs.
