Abstract

Febrile seizures are a condition where the body has a temperature above 38oC. The classification of febrile seizures can be divided into (1) complex febrile seizures that occur repeatedly within 24 hours and the seizure condition lasts more than 15 minutes (2) simple febrile seizures that occur once per 24 hours, last 15 minutes or short, and the fever that occurs is general. In children with febrile seizures, hyperthermia is a major problem that must be addressed immediately because uncontrolled increases in body temperature are a controlled physiological response of the body to certain conditions, such as infection or inflammation. Hyperthermia can be managed with non-pharmacological measures, often used, such as warm compresses. Warm compresses work by vasodilating peripheral blood vessels, thereby helping to increase body heat loss through evaporation and conduction. This case study aims to analyze and identify changes in body temperature experienced by children before and after warm compress intervention in children with febrile seizures. The case study design is descriptive with a care process approach (assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation) for 3x8 hours in one patient. Data were collected through family interviews, physical examinations, observations, and body temperature monitoring before and after the intervention. Before the warm compress intervention, the child's body temperature was 38.9°C, and after the warm compress intervention, the patient's body temperature was 38.6°C. Warm compresses were applied to the forehead, armpits, and groin. These findings indicate that warm compresses are an effective, safe, and easy-to-implement evidence-based nursing intervention for lowering body temperature in children with febrile seizures.
