Abstract

Fever is a common symptom in infants, often causing distress to both the child and caregivers. While pharmacological interventions like acetaminophen are widely used, concerns about potential side effects and the growing interest in natural remedies have led to a resurgence in exploring traditional practices. The use of shallot poultice for fever management has been documented in various cultures, but its efficacy and safety require rigorous scientific evaluation. This study aimed to investigate the antipyretic effect of shallot poultice in infants and contribute to evidence-based decision-making in pediatric fever management. A quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design was conducted. Infants aged 0-12 months presenting with fever (≥37.5°C) at a primary healthcare center were recruited. Eligible infants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (receiving shallot poultice application) or the control group (receiving standard care). The primary outcome was the change in body temperature after 30 minutes of intervention. Secondary outcomes included parental satisfaction and adverse events. A total of 60 infants were enrolled (30 per group). The intervention group demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in body temperature compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Parental satisfaction was high in both groups, with no significant difference observed. No adverse events related to the shallot poultice were reported. Shallot poultice appears to be a safe and effective non-pharmacological intervention for reducing fever in infants. These findings support the potential integration of this traditional practice into holistic fever management strategies. Further research is warranted to explore the underlying mechanisms and long-term effects.

Abstract

Pregnancy induces various physiological changes, including Emesis Gravidarum (nausea and vomiting), which predominantly affects first-trimester women and significantly reduces comfort. This research aimed to analyze the effect of lavender aromatherapy on reducing Emesis Gravidarum in first-trimester pregnant women in the working area of Babelan 1 Health Center, Bekasi City, in 2023. A pre-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest design was employed, with purposive sampling selecting 38 respondents. Data were collected using the PUQE-24 checklist and analyzed using the Wilcoxon and Chi-Square tests. The Wilcoxon test results indicated a significant reduction in Emesis Gravidarum after the lavender aromatherapy intervention (p-value = 0.000). Chi-Square analysis revealed that only parity was significantly associated with the incidence of Emesis Gravidarum (p-value = 0.010), while maternal age and occupation showed no significant relationship. The study concludes that lavender aromatherapy effectively reduces Emesis Gravidarum in first-trimester pregnant women. These findings support the integration of lavender aromatherapy as a non-pharmacological intervention in maternal healthcare services to improve the well-being of pregnant women experiencing nausea and vomiting.
