This quantitative research used one group pretest-posttest design. The applied sampling technique was total sampling consisting of 40 respondents. The results before the implementation of GUAVA education (Gouth Arthritis Visual Audio) were low (70%) and after the implementation became 100%. Then, the life quality (based on WHOQOL-BREF) found an excellent condition (100%) and improved into extremely excellent (100%). The Wilcoxon statistic test shows the influence of GUAVA education (Gout Arthritis Visual Audio) toward the knowledge and life quality of gout arthritis patients (p-value of 0.000). The results recommend the implementation of GUAVA (Gout Arthritis Visual Audio) as the nursing care intervention to improve knowledge and life quality of gout arthritis patients.
