Abstract

Febrile seizures are a common emergency in toddlers and carry the risk of complications if initial treatment at home is inadequate. Mothers' knowledge plays a crucial role in determining the first course of action when a child experiences a febrile seizure. This study aims to analyze mothers' knowledge regarding the initial emergency treatment of febrile seizures in toddlers at home. The study used a qualitative design with a descriptive phenomenological approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews using a semi-structured guide with 12 mothers with toddlers with a history of febrile seizures in the Alai Community Health Center, Padang City, selected using purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted thematically. The results revealed two main themes: not knowing what to do and doing whatever comes to mind. The first theme describes mothers' panic and lack of knowledge in dealing with febrile seizures, while the second theme reflects spontaneous actions taken by mothers, including taking the child to a health facility or performing other treatments that do not fully meet standards. This study concluded that mothers' limited knowledge and panic influence the inaccuracy of initial treatment of febrile seizures. Therefore, improved health education for families is needed to improve preparedness and appropriate treatment of febrile seizures in toddlers

Abstract

Anemia is a condition in which the hemoglobin level in the blood is less than 12 g/dl. Anemia in adolescents will result in decreased concentration, decreased physical fitness, and growth disorders, so that height and weight do not reach normal levels. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) with the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls. This study employed a quantitative analytical method with a cross-sectional approach. It was conducted at SMAN 12 Padang from January to July 2025 with a sample size of 54 female adolescents, using proportional random sampling. The research instruments used were digital scales, microtoise, and digital hemoglobinometer, which were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results of the study showed that a low BMI was more prevalent in the anemia group (57.4%) than in the non-anemia group (42.6%). The statistical test results showed a significant relationship between BMI with the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls (p-Value (p = 0.000)). Conclusion: There is a significant association between BMI with the occurrence of anemia in adolescent girls. It is hoped that adolescents will gain a better understanding of anemia and nutritional status.
