Abstract

Evidence-based policy is essential for addressing complex global challenges such as health crises, climate change, and social inequalities. Despite its importance, translating research findings into effective public policy remains difficult due to gaps between researchers and policy makers, including differences in language, priorities, and working approaches. Strengthening communication and collaboration between academia and government is necessary to ensure that scientific evidence can inform policy decisions. Institutional mechanisms, adequate funding, and research agendas aligned with societal needs are also crucial to support evidence-based decision making. Strong synergy between research and policy will enable governments to develop more responsive, effective, and sustainable public policies.

Abstract

Background: Hyperthermia in children with typhoid fever requires timely and safe management because elevated body temperature may increase discomfort, raise metabolic demand, and interfere with recovery. Non-pharmacological measures such as tepid water sponge represent a simple nursing intervention that is feasible and relevant in primary care settings. Objective: To analyze the application of tepid water sponge in the management of hyperthermia among pediatric patients with typhoid fever using a case study approach. Methods: This study used a descriptive case study design involving two pediatric patients aged 5–11 years with typhoid fever and body temperature above 37°C in the working area of UPTD Puskesmas Tanjung Baru from 28 to 31 May 2022. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation review, and implementation of the nursing process, including assessment, diagnosis, intervention, implementation, and evaluation. The main intervention was tepid water sponge as part of hyperthermia management. Results: Both patients showed gradual reductions in body temperature over three days of care. In the first case, body temperature decreased from 38.5°C on day 1 to 37.2°C on day 2 and 36.0°C on day 3. In the second case, body temperature decreased from 39.0°C on day 1 to 37.5°C on day 2 and 36.5°C on day 3. Differences in response appeared to be related to the child’s cooperation, medication adherence, fluid intake, and family understanding of hyperthermia management. Conclusion: Tepid water sponge may serve as a supportive nursing intervention to reduce body temperature in children with hyperthermia due to typhoid fever. Its effectiveness should be supported by appropriate monitoring, family education, and active caregiver involvement during care.

Abstract

Background: Hyperthermia in children with febrile seizures represents a critical clinical condition that requires prompt and appropriate management to prevent complications. Pediatric thermoregulation remains physiologically immature, which increases vulnerability to temperature instability and neurological disturbances during fever episodes. Effective nursing interventions are therefore essential for controlling body temperature in pediatric patients experiencing febrile seizures. Objective: This study aimed to explore the implementation of hyperthermia management using warm compress techniques in children with febrile convulsions through a case study approach. Methods: This study employed a descriptive case study design involving two pediatric patients aged 6 months to 5 years who experienced febrile seizures. The study was conducted in the working area of UPTD Tanjung Baru in June 2022. Data were collected through nursing assessment, observation, interviews with caregivers, and documentation review. The intervention consisted of hyperthermia management using warm compress techniques combined with nursing observation and caregiver education. Results: The initial assessment indicated that both patients experienced severe hyperthermia with body temperatures above 40°C. Following the implementation of warm compress interventions, body temperatures decreased to normal ranges, reaching 36.5°C in Patient A and 36.0°C in Patient R. Clinical evaluation demonstrated improved physiological stability and caregiver-reported improvement in the children’s conditions. Conclusion: Warm compress techniques represent an effective non-pharmacological nursing intervention for reducing hyperthermia in children with febrile seizures. The implementation of structured nursing care and caregiver education contributes to improved pediatric fever management in primary healthcare settings.

Abstract

Background: Sleep disturbances are common among elderly individuals and negatively affect physical health, psychological well-being, and overall quality of life. Non-pharmacological approaches such as lavender aromatherapy have increasingly been used to improve sleep quality across different populations. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of lavender aromatherapy on sleep quality among elderly patients. Methods: This study applied a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group approach. A total of 60 elderly participants were recruited and randomly allocated into two groups consisting of 30 participants in the intervention group and 30 participants in the control group. The intervention group received lavender aromatherapy through a diffuser for 30 minutes each night before bedtime for 14 consecutive days, while the control group received routine care without aromatherapy exposure. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) before and after the intervention period. Statistical analysis was performed using paired t-tests to evaluate changes in sleep quality within each group and independent t-tests to compare differences between the intervention and control groups. The level of statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: The mean PSQI score in the intervention group decreased from 11.3 ± 2.1 at baseline to 6.2 ± 1.8 after the intervention, whereas the control group showed no significant change. Statistical analysis demonstrated significant differences between pretest and posttest scores in the intervention group and significant differences between groups after the intervention. Conclusion: Lavender aromatherapy significantly improves sleep quality among elderly patients and may serve as an effective complementary intervention in geriatric nursing care.

Abstract

Background: High workload among nurses in hospitalization rooms frequently influences job satisfaction and healthcare service quality. These conditions often arise from high patient demands, staffing shortages, and administrative responsibilities. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between workload and job satisfaction among nurses working in hospitalization rooms through a literature review. Methods: This study employed a literature review method by collecting and analyzing scientific articles published in academic databases such as Google Scholar between 2019 and 2023. The study selection process followed the PRISMA guideline from the EQUATOR Network. The selected articles examined workload conditions, job satisfaction, and organizational factors affecting nurses in hospital settings. Results: The review found that most nurses experience high workload due to high patient volume, shift work systems, and complex administrative tasks. High workload conditions were associated with increased fatigue, job stress, and decreased job satisfaction among nurses. Organizational support, work environment, and work–life balance were also identified as important factors influencing nurses’ job satisfaction. Conclusion: Workload shows a negative relationship with job satisfaction among nurses in hospitalization rooms. Effective workload management strategies are necessary to improve nurses’ well-being and healthcare service quality.
