520	3		_aPain management in elderly patients is a critical aspect of healthcare, particularly as age-related conditions and comorbidities heighten vulnerability to chronic pain. This study sought to assess the effectiveness of non-pharmacological pain management strategies at Catanduanes Doctors Hospital Incorporated (CDHI) and to identify influencing factors. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, this study collected data from elderly inpatients at CDHI from January to March 2025. Purposive sampling was employed to select participants, including elderly patients, healthcare providers, and caregivers. A self-structured questionnaire was used to gather data on patient demographics, current non-pharmacological pain management practices, and perceived effectiveness. Quantitative analysis included frequency distribution, weighted mean, and t-tests to examine relationships among variables. Findings revealed that majority of the elderly patients were aged 61 years and above, with a majority experiencing chronic pain. Non-pharmacological pain management effectiveness varied like massage, physical therapy, and relaxation techniques showed promising outcomes when consistently applied. Significant factors influencing pain management included the presence of caregivers, mental health status, medication side effects, and healthcare provider expertise. A strong relationship was observed between patients' profiles and the effectiveness of non-pharmacological pain management strategies. The study confirmed gaps in pain management practices, especially in integrating patient-centered, non-pharmacological methods. It highlighted the need for improved protocols, better training, and expanded use of technologies like telemedicine. This study emphasizes the importance of holistic, tailored pain management strategies for the elderly. An intervention plan was proposed to enhance care quality and patient comfort, ensuring evidence-based and compassionate pain relief at CDHI.
