Abstract

Febrile seizures are one of the most common neurological disorders in children aged 6 months to 5 years and often cause anxiety in families because they occur suddenly and require immediate treatment. Most seizures occur at home, so families play a crucial role in providing first aid to prevent complications such as injury, aspiration, or respiratory distress. However, various studies have shown that public knowledge regarding first aid for seizures is still limited and often influenced by myths that are inconsistent with medical recommendations, such as inserting objects into the patient's mouth during a seizure. This study aims to analyze first aid practices for seizure patients related to the myth of inserting a spoon into the mouth based on a literature review. The method used was a literature review with a narrative analysis approach to various scientific articles discussing family experiences, community knowledge, and first aid practices for patients with seizures or epilepsy. The results of the study indicate that family experiences in providing first aid to children with febrile seizures can be categorized into several main themes: allowing the seizure to continue, observing the child's condition, inserting objects into the child's mouth, and asking for help from others. Some practices carried out by families are still inconsistent with medical recommendations due to limited knowledge and prevailing beliefs in the community. Therefore, a systematic health education program is needed to increase the knowledge and preparedness of families in providing first aid for febrile seizures appropriately and safely.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by persistent hyperglycemia and a risk of complications such as peripheral neuropathy and lower extremity circulatory disorders. Foot reflexology is widely used as a non-pharmacological complementary therapy in the management of DM, but existing research results still show variation. Therefore, a synthesis of scientific evidence is needed to comprehensively assess the effectiveness of this intervention. The method used was a systematic literature review by analyzing 19 national and international journal articles with randomized controlled trials (RCTs), quasi-experimental, case studies, and systematic reviews. The outcome variables studied included blood glucose levels, HbA1c, peripheral neuropathy, ankle brachial index (ABI), neuropathic pain, and patient comfort. The analysis was conducted by comparing results before and after the intervention and between the intervention and control groups. The results showed that most studies showed a significant decrease in blood glucose and HbA1c levels after foot reflexology. Improvements were also found in peripheral neuropathy symptoms, including reduced pain and increased foot sensitivity. Studies with RCT designs provided stronger evidence, although there was heterogeneity in the duration and frequency of intervention. Foot reflexology massage has the potential to be a safe and effective complementary therapy to support glycemic control and improve peripheral neuropathy in patients with diabetes. However, studies with more robust methodological designs and standardized intervention protocols are needed to support the implementation of evidence-based practices.
