Abstract

Fever is one of the common symptoms in children that can be caused by viral or bacterial infections. Treatment of fever generally uses antipyretic drugs, but natural methods such as compresses are often applied as additional therapy. Aloe vera is known to have antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties that can help lower body temperature naturally. Implementing the intervention of giving Aloe vera compresses to reduce fever in children based on the results of body temperature measurements before and after the intervention in 10 child patients with fever. This study analyzed body temperature changes before and after administering Aloe vera compresses to 10 children with fever. Temperature was measured with a digital thermometer, and the significance of the changes was determined using appropriate statistical methods. The results of the intervention showed that out of 10 patients, 8 children experienced a decrease in body temperature after being given Aloe vera compresses, while 2 children did not show significant changes in temperature. The temperature decrease that occurred ranged from 0.1°C to 0.3°C after the intervention. This shows that Aloe vera compresses can help lower children's body temperature, although its effectiveness may vary depending on the condition of each patient. Aloe vera compress can be a safe non-pharmacological therapy alternative to help reduce fever in children. However, further research is needed with a larger sample size and consideration of other factors that may affect its effectiveness.

Abstract

Introduction: Nurse performance is an activity taken by a nurse in a company in accordance with their authority and responsibilities, and high performance can bring satisfaction to service users while also improving the quality of nursing services. To improve and achieve the standard of nursing services, hospitals must adopt a nursing care system process in the ward based on the Nursing Professional Practice Model (MPKP). The team approach is a nursing care delivery strategy in which an experienced nurse leads a group of nursing personnel to provide nursing treatment to a group of customers through collaborative and collaborative efforts. Method: This is a quantitative study conducted utilizing a design for descriptive correlational research with a sample size of 97 nurses. In this study, data is collected utilizing a questionnaire. Result: Frequency Distribution Based on the application of the team method, it was discovered that the majority of the nurses were in the application of the team method below the optimal level as many as 54 people (55.7%), and the frequency distribution based on nurse performance revealed that the majority of the nurses were in lacking nurse performance as many as 65 people (67%). The Chi-squared statistical analysis resulted in a value of ρ = 0.001. This signifies that the ρ value is lower than α (ρ = 0.001 < α = 0.05). Conclusion: There is a link between using the team technique and how well nurses perform at Dr. Moewardi Regional General Hospital.
