Warm water sponge adalah satu mekanisme menurunkan demam pada anak dimana keberhasilannya bisa mencapai 100 %, namun penggunaannya di Indonesia baru sebatas kompres dengan teknik tepid water sponge. Oleh karena itu tujuan dari study ini adalah untuk melihat efektifitas kompres menggunakan teknik warm water sponge pada anak dengan peningkatan suhu tubuh. Metode: Desain yang digunakan adalah quasi eksperimental pre-posttest with control group design. Responden berjumlah 36 pasien anak yang mengalami demam yang dipilih menggunakan teknik consecutive sampling, terdiri dari 18 pasien anak menerima perlakuan warm water sponge dan 18 pasien anak menerima perlakuan kompres sesuai standar rumah sakit. Analisis yang dilakukan adalah uji T Independent. Hasil: Intervensi warm water sponge efektif menurunkan suhu tubuh anak yang mengalami demam dengan hasil uji T Dependent diperoleh Pvalue =0,000 < α (0,05). Kesimpulan: Warm water sponge efektif menurunkan suhu tubuh pasien anak yang demam dan pasien anak lebih merasa nyaman dibandingkan dengan terapi penurunan panas yang biasa dilakukan di rumah sakit.","PeriodicalId":22572,"journal":{"name":"The Indonesian Journal of Infectious Diseases","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85514679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anak –anak dan remaja mengalami kecemasan, takut, merasa tertekan, merasa tidak tenang, dan khawatir sehingga dapat menyebabkan gangguan emosi. Adapun tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi geografi emosi tentang COVID-19 pada siswa SMPN VIII di Kota Cimahi. Metode : Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kuantitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan google form yang disebar secara online kepada siswa. Alat pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah mengacu kepada instrumen standar COVID Stress Scales (CSS) 2020 dengan 36 item pernyataan. Hasil : geografi emosi siswa paling tinggi berada pada domain Xenophobia dengan nilai rata-rata sebesar 3,394, selanjutnya adalah domain danger dengan nilai rata-rata 3,327. Untuk nilai rata rata yang paling rendah yaitu berada pada domain Compulsive Checking dengan nilai rata-rata 2,107.

Our aim was to estimate the current overall and age-specific incidence of culture-confirmed enteric fever among children aged 6 months to 15 years in Delhi. Methods We enrolled a cohort of 6000 children aged 6 months to <14 years in South Delhi and followed them up weekly for 24 months or until 15 completed years of child age, whichever was earlier. Blood culture to confirm enteric fever was done in children with ≥3 consecutive days of fever. Results We recorded a total of 14 650 episodes of fever in the 11 510 person-years (PY) of follow-up. A total of 81 fever episodes were positive for enteric fever. The incidence (95% confidence interval) of all enteric fever was 703.7 (560.5–874.7) per 100 000 PY. The incidences of typhoid and paratyphoid fevers were 608.1 (95% confidence interval, 481.1–768.7) and 111.7 (59.5–191.1) per 100 000 PY, respectively, highest among children aged 10–15 years. Conclusions Despite a 35% reduction in incidence compared with the 1995–1996 cohort, our study suggested a substantial burden of enteric fever in the population.
