Participantswere taken using snowball sampling. The criteria for the participant were having a child who had had a fever, being a member of the Jerieng tribe, having time to be interviewed, and being fluent in the local language of the Jerieng tribe. Data were collected using structured interviews with participants. Data were collected in the form of recorded interviews and field notes. Data were analyzed interactively through the process of data reduction, data display, and data verification. Results: Five themes were identified: 1) the important role of mothers in treating children with fever; 2) the habit factor underlying the mother's choice of bejampi practice; 3) the use of water and massage media in bejampi practice; 4) the condition of the child as the basis for choosing the bejampi practice; 5) feeling the benefits of the bejampi practice.
