Abstract

One of the symptoms of submandibular abscess is hyperthermia due to increased white blood cells. One non-pharmacological treatment that can be used to treat fever in children is a warm compress. There are also other compress methods that can be used, namely with the traditional plant Aloevera or what is commonly known as aloe vera. The aim of this case study is to provide an overview of giving aloe vera compresses to reduce the body temperature of children with a nursing diagnosis of hyperthermia. The case study was carried out for 3 days by providing nursing care to patients with hyperthermia nursing problems using observation techniques, interviews, literature studies, and administering aloe vera compresses based on Evidence Based Nursing. From the implementation, the results showed that after being given the aloe vera compress, the patient's body temperature decreased, namely on the first day the temperature before implementation was 39.40C and after the implementation, the temperature dropped to 390C. on the second day before being given the implementation the body temperature was 37.80C and after giving the implementation the body temperature dropped to 37.30C. The conclusion from this case study was that the nursing evaluation showed that there was a decrease in the patient's body temperature after being given the implementation of aloe vera compress.

Abstract

Diarrhea remains a major public health problem among under-five children in Indonesia, particularly in areas with limited sanitation and disadvantaged socioeconomic conditions. Maternal knowledge, personal hygiene, and family economic status are key factors influencing the incidence of diarrhea. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between maternal knowledge, personal hygiene, and family economic status and the incidence of diarrhea in the working area of the Pekauman Public Health Center, Banjarmasin. A cross-sectional design was employed using accidental sampling, involving 40 mothers with children aged 2–5 years who visited the Pekauman Public Health Center. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test. The results demonstrated significant associations between maternal knowledge (p = 0.008; r = 0.412), personal hygiene (p = 0.000; r = 0.710), and family economic status (p = 0.000; r = 0.645) and the incidence of diarrhea, with personal hygiene showing the strongest correlation. This study contributes to public health practice by emphasizing the importance of integrated, family-based interventions, including strengthening maternal education, improving hygienic behaviors, and enhancing family economic capacity, to reduce diarrhea incidence at the primary health care level.
