Background: Arthritis, also known as rheumatism, is a disease that affects the joints and surrounding structures. Rheumatic diseases are often considered trivial because they are not life-threatening. However, if not treated promptly, rheumatism can cause abnormal limb function, including lumps, stiff joints, difficulty walking, and even lifelong disability.

Purpose: To determine the relationship between pain intensity and the fulfillment of daily living activities in elderly people with rheumatoid arthritis risk based on Dorothea Orem's theory.

Methods:This study used a quantitative research design with a cross-sectional approach with a total of 20 respondents. The research variables were the independent variable (Rheumatoid Arthritis Pain) and the dependent variable (Fulfillment of Daily Living Activities). Statistical tests using the Contingency Coefficient consisted of 28 respondents.

Results: The results of the Contingency Coefficient test obtained a p value of 0.003 with an r value of 0.545, which means there is a relationship between pain intensity and the fulfillment of daily living activities in elderly people with rheumatoid arthritis risk based on Dorothea Orem's theory, with a relatively low level of relationship.

Conclusion: There is a relationship between pain intensity and the fulfillment of daily living activities in elderly people at risk of rheumatoid arthritis. Therefore, elderly people at risk of rheumatoid arthritis should continue to participate in the Posbindu program so that elderly people at the Posyandu in Petak Village, Malo District, Bojonegoro Regency can know their health condition every month.
