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

Female students at SMA Negeri 5 Padang face compounding reproductive health risks from inadequate nutrition, iron-deficiency anemia, and suboptimal menstrual hygiene. This community service activity aimed to improve students' reproductive health knowledge through a complementary education program covering balanced nutrition, anemia prevention, and menstrual health. The implementation method consisted of eight structured education sessions over four weeks using interactive lectures, group discussion, and practical demonstration, supported by topic-specific leaflets, with pre-test and post-test evaluation of 30 participants, analyzed using paired t-test and normalized gain (N-Gain). Results showed the mean knowledge score increased significantly from 47.11 to 75.78 (an increase of 28.67 points; p<0.001), with the proportion of participants in the good knowledge category rising from 0% to 50.0%. In conclusion, the complementary education program effectively improved students' reproductive health knowledge and is recommended for replication and integration into the school health curriculum.
