Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in densely populated areas. Control efforts require accurate data and spatial analysis to understand disease distribution patterns. Geographic Information System (GIS) is an effective tool for visualizing case distribution and supporting surveillance and planning of control programs at the primary healthcare level. This study aims to describe the spatial distribution of Dengue cases based on medical record data and produce a geographic distribution map to support Dengue control efforts at the Puskesmas level. This study used a quantitative descriptive design with secondary data from medical records at Karangsari Health Center. The sample consisted of 255 DHF patients in 2025, selected using a total sampling technique. Data were processed through editing, geocoding patient addresses, and spatial analysis using QGIS software.The results showed 255 Dengue  cases in 2025 with fluctuating monthly trends, peaking in April and lowest in December. Case distribution was uneven and tended to cluster. High-risk areas accounted for 15.7%–21.2%, moderate-risk areas 9.8%–15.7%, and low-risk areas 7.1%–9.8%. Megu Cilik Village had the highest proportion of cases, while other villages were categorized as moderate and low risk. This pattern indicates that Dengue incidence is influenced by environmental conditions, vector density, host factors, rainfall, and Aedes aegypti presence. GIS provides clearer spatial visualization, helping identify high-risk areas and supporting targeted public health interventions.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted through the bite of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. In 2023, 48 cases of DHF were reported in the Kebun Lada Public Health Center area, reflecting a high incidence rate and limited medical resources in managing the cases. This situation emphasizes the need for an alternative solution that can support a fast and accurate diagnostic process. This study aims to develop an expert system for diagnosing DHF using the Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) method. CBR functions by comparing the symptoms experienced by patients with previous cases stored in the knowledge base, thereby producing relevant diagnostic recommendations. The proposed system is implemented as a web-based application using PHP as the programming language and MySQL as the database management system. The expected outcomes of this study are to assist medical personnel in reducing diagnostic time, improving the accuracy of decision-making, and increasing the effectiveness of health services in primary healthcare facilities. In addition, the system is designed to provide wider access for the community to recognize early symptoms of DHF, which can contribute to preventive actions and reduce the risk of severe complications. Thus, the developed expert system has the potential to become a practical solution to overcome the shortage of medical personnel and enhance public health awareness.

Fever in children, if not properly managed, can lead to several negative effects such as excessive fluid loss through evaporation, dehydration, seizures, decreased consciousness, and even death if left untreated. Non-pharmacological interventions to reduce fever include water tepid sponge therapy and cool patch therapy. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest and posttest three-group approach. Respondents were divided into three groups: water tepid sponge, cool patch, and control. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and the Mann-Whitney test. The Wilcoxon test showed a significance value of 0.000 in the Water Tepid Sponge group, 0.000 in the Cool Patch group, and 0.002 in the control group. The Mann-Whitney test showed no significant difference between the pre-test body temperature of the Water Tepid Sponge group and the control group (p = 0.063 > 0.05), while a significant difference was found in the post-test (p = 0.000 < 0.05). For the Cool Patch group, there was no significant difference in the pre-test compared to the control (p = 0.672), but a significant difference was found in the post-test (p = 0.001). The Mann-Whitney test comparing the pre-test and post-test temperature differences between the Water Tepid Sponge and Cool Patch groups showed a significance value of 0.000. The mean rank for temperature reduction in the Water Tepid Sponge group was 35,27, while in the Cool Patch group it was 17,73. Both Water Tepid Sponge and Cool Patch therapies have an effect on reducing fever in pediatric patients in the Parkit Ward of QIM Hospital Batang. Water Tepid Sponge therapy is more effective than Cool Patch therapy in reducing fever.

Background: According to the 2020 Ministry of Health Profile, fever accounts for 7.3% of infant deaths in Indonesia. Fever is a common complaint in children, with 20–40% of parents reporting their child's illness each year. Approximately 19–30% of patients visiting doctors are children, and fever is one of the primary complaints. If not treated promptly, fever can lead to complications such as seizures and decreased consciousness. Fever management can be done through pharmacological (antipyretic, NSAID, diazepam) or non-pharmacological measures, one of which is by applying compresses. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of dry warm compresses and water tepid sponge compresses on reducing body temperature in pediatric patients at Pati Islamic Hospital. Method: Quantitative research with a quasi-experimental two-group pre–post test design using a purposive sampling technique. Results: The application of water tepid sponge compresses showed a significant decrease in temperature with an average difference of 1.2°C, while dry warm compresses only reduced the temperature by a difference of 0.2°C. Conclusion: Water tepid sponge compresses are more effective than dry warm compresses in reducing body temperature in children with fever at Pati Islamic Hospital.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is transmitted through the bites of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. Efforts that can be made to reduce the incidence of dengue fever are through the 3M plus movements (draining, burying and covering) and carrying out preventive activities such as sprinkling larvicide powder, using mosquito repellent, and planting mosquito repellent plants. The aim of this community service is to increase public knowledge about recognizing and preventing dengue fever as an effort to prevent and control the disease. The activities were carried out at Padukuhan Nologaten, Caturtunggal Village, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Province in May-June 2024. The activities carried out include situation analysis, preparation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and analysis and reporting. The participants of this activity numbered 37 people with the majority aged 46-65 years (48%) and college education background (48%). The average level of community knowledge about the prevention and control of dengue fever before counseling (pre-test) was good (89%) and sufficient (11%) and after counseling, the level of community knowledge increased to good (95%).

Typhoid fever is an acute infectious disease caused by Salmonella typhi bacteria, and is generally spread through contaminated food or drinks. One of the effective prevention efforts is to maintain personal hygiene, especially washing your hands before eating. This study aims to determine the relationship between handwashing compliance with the incidence of typhoid fever in children treated at PKU Muhammadiyah Delanggu Hospital. The research design used is observational analysis with a quantitative approach. The sampling technique was carried out by accidental sampling with a total of 34 children. Data were collected through questionnaires that measured the level of handwashing compliance and the history of typhoid fever incidence. The analysis of the relationship between variables was carried out using the Chi Square statistical test. The results showed that as many as 20 children (58.82%) had good handwashing compliance, with an average compliance score of 7.79 ± 1.666. Meanwhile, as many as 18 children (52.94%) were recorded to have typhoid fever. The results of the Chi Square test showed a p-value of 0.681, which means that there was no significant association between handwashing compliance and the incidence of typhoid fever in children at the study site. The conclusion of this study is that handwashing compliance has not shown a significant relationship with the incidence of typhoid fever in children at PKU Muhammadiyah Delanggu Hospital. These findings indicate the need for further studies by considering other factors such as water quality, environmental sanitation, and food consumption habits, in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the prevention of typhoid fever in children.

Dangeu dengue fever or what we often call dengue fever is a disease transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito and caused by the dengue virus. This disease can potentially cause serious complications if it does not receive proper treatment. In this research, the author uses the application of artificial neural networks with the Hebb rule approach to predict the risk level of dengue fever. Predictions are made based on factors such as weather conditions, population density and historical case data that influence this disease. The Hebb rule is used in this research because of its ability to strengthen connections between neurons based on the input patterns they receive, so it is hoped that it can produce more accurate predictions. Test results show that this method has a fairly high level of accuracy in predicting the pattern of dengue fever cases in an area. This research indicates that the application of artificial neural networks with the Hebb rule can be an effective tool for related parties in taking preventive measures to minimize the number of dengue cases in the future.    

Typhoid fever is an acute infection of the small intestine caused by Salmonella typhi, commonly occurring in developing countries with poor sanitation, including tropical regions such as Indonesia, where the climate supports the proliferation of this bacterium (Yustati & Dinata, 2023). The primary symptoms include high fever, nausea, abdominal pain, and gastrointestinal disturbances. This study employs a descriptive method with a case approach to identify and address nursing issues such as hyperthermia, knowledge deficit, and risk of nutritional deficit. The aim of this writing is to provide and describe comprehensive nursing care for typhoid fever patients at RSUD Dr. Soeselo, Tegal Regency, in accordance with established nursing standards, to ensure effective care and improved patient outcomes.  

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by infection with the dengue virus which is transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The main clinical manifestations of this disease can be an increase in body temperature ≥ 38°C for 2 - 7 days, bleeding which is usually preceded by the appearance of red spots (petechiae), headache, joint pain accompanied by leukopenia, lymphadenopathy, thrombocytopenia and hemorrhagic diathesis. Liver dysfunction is one of the consequences of dengue infection that often occurs in patients. The liver is the target organ of the dengue virus which often appears in the form of hepatomegaly and a mild-moderate increase in aminotransferase enzyme levels although jaundice and acute liver failure are rare. Dengue patients have an increase in SGOT and SGPT levels. This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between dengue IgG levels and SGOT and SGPT in Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever patients at RSU Sinar Kasih Purwokerto. The type of research used is an analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. Sampling was carried out using a consecutive sampling technique. Results were obtained from 100 samples with normal SGOT SGPT examination results, namely 10 patients and high results, namely 90 patients. The results of SGOT and SGPT examinations in dengue IgG positive patients increased >3 times which was included in category B and there was a significant relationship between SGOT and SGPT levels in Dengue IgG positive patients, with a p-value of 0.000, indicating a strong relationship between SGOT levels and SGPT with IgG examination results.

Fever is a symptom of all types of diseases, both infectious and noninfectious. Fever is also a symptom that often occurs in children. Children's body temperature defenses are still weak so they are very susceptible to infections, fungi and viruses. Fever can endanger a child's safety if treated quickly and appropriately and can cause seizures. Normal body temperature is 36.50C-37.50C. If the body temperature is more than 37.5 then a water tepid sponge compress can be applied. Able to apply a water tepid sponge compress to reduce fever in children. Able to determine body temperature before and after being given a water tepid sponge compress. In this study, a descriptive case study was used, three research subjects who received the fever-reducing drug paracetamol and were given water tepid sponge compress intervention to reduce fever in children. The data collection instrument uses an observation sheet. Based on the results of the study, it showed that children who were given fever-reducing medication and compressed water tepid sponge were used and for the three respondents for three days, the average result on the first day was 1.50C, on the second day the average was 1.50C. .3 0C and on the third day the average was 0.30C. Children who were given fever-reducing medication and given water tepid sponge compresses experienced a decrease in body temperature. Hospitals are expected to maximize the application of warm Tepid Water Sponge compresses to children to treat fever as a non-pharmacological therapy.

The impact of LBW poses many risks regarding problems in the body's system due to unstable body condition which can cause death. The causes of LBW are due to fetal factors, placental factors and maternal factors. Preeclampsia is a problem of serious maternal factors and has a high level of complexity. The results of the preliminary study in 2021 totaled 34 people with preeclampsia and 60 cases of low birth weight babies. Research objective is to determine the effectiveness of compresses of warm water and hibiscus leaves in lowering the body temperature of toddlers in the Banua Lawas Health Center area. The research methods is Quasi-experimental research with a pre-test-post-test research design without a control group.
