Introduction: Febrile seizures are seizure episodes that occur due to an increase in body temperature above 38°C without evidence of central nervous system infection such as meningitis or encephalitis. In Indonesia, the prevalence of febrile seizures is approximately 2–5% among children aged 6 months to 3 years, and around 30% of these cases experience recurrence or recurrent febrile seizures. Therefore, an appropriate nursing care plan is required to manage patients with febrile seizures. Methods: This scientific paper employed a descriptive narrative method to illustrate the provision of nursing care to patients through the nursing process approach. The general objective of this study was to understand and implement nursing care for patients with febrile seizures. Results: The nursing diagnoses identified in patients with febrile seizures were hyperthermia, risk for injury, and knowledge deficit. Nursing interventions included hyperthermia management, safety management, and health education. Conclusion: After two days of nursing implementation, two nursing diagnoses were resolved and one was partially resolved. Discharge planning included monitoring the patient's condition, particularly for seizure signs, maintaining a safe environment, educating the family about injury prevention during seizures, and encouraging family members to continuously supervise the patient.

Background: Acute pharyngitis is an inflammation of the pharynx caused by viral or bacterial infections, frequently resulting in sore throat, fever, and dysphagia. This condition is among the most prevalent acute respiratory tract infections in children and adolescents worldwide, contributing significantly to morbidity and the burden of healthcare services. Objective: This case study aimed to describe the comprehensive nursing care provided to patient An. F with acute pharyngitis at Ward Anggrek 1, RSUD dr. Soeselo, Tegal Regency. Methods: A descriptive study design with a nursing process approach was employed. Data were collected through anamnesis, physical examination, observation, and documentation review. The nursing process encompassed assessment, nursing diagnosis, intervention planning, implementation, and evaluation. Results: Assessment revealed chief complaints of throat pain (NRS scale 5), fever (38.8°C), erythematous tonsils, and nutritional deficit. Three nursing diagnoses were established: acute pain related to physiological injury, hyperthermia related to disease process, and knowledge deficit related to insufficient information exposure. Interventions included pain management, hyperthermia management, and health education. Following two days of nursing care, the patient’s condition significantly improved, with pain scale reduced from 5 to 3 and body temperature normalized to 37.7°C. Conclusion: Comprehensive nursing care incorporating pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches effectively reduced pain and fever, and improved patient and family health literacy regarding acute pharyngitis.

Typhoid fever is an infectious disease caused by Salmonella typhi. Transmission can occur through air or food contaminated with the urine and feces of typhoid sufferers, such as air used for drinking, cooking, and washing food. Symptoms of typhoid fever include a prolonged high fever, defined as an elevated body temperature of >37.5°C. Other symptoms can include fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea, and headache. This study aimed to treat children with typhoid fever. The method used was a case study of a five-year-old child with typhoid fever who was hospitalized for four days. The results showed that the child had fever, obesity, and decreased appetite. The child's problem was hypothermia, while cooling interventions were used to manage hypothermia, and one of the cooling procedures performed was the application of aloe vera compresses. The evaluation results showed that the hyperthermia resolved after four days of hospitalization. Based on this study, it is hoped that patients and their families can independently apply aloe vera compresses to treat hypothermia in children.

Beef demand in Indonesia continues to increase, particularly during religious holidays. Bali cattle, one of the main sources of beef, face a serious threat from Jembrana disease, a viral infection that compromises the immune system and causes significant economic losses. This study aimed to determine the correlation between spleen weight, body temperature, and cycle threshold (Ct) values in Bali cattle following Jembrana virus inoculation. A correlational method was applied to eight female Bali cattle injected with Jembrana virus inoculum. Physiological changes in body temperature were monitored, followed by necropsy to assess spleen weight. In addition, Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) was performed before and after inoculation to detect viral presence and determine Ct values. Data were analyzed using SPSS with Pearson correlation tests. The results revealed a very strong positive correlation between spleen weight and body temperature, while a very strong negative correlation was observed between spleen weight and Ct values. These findings indicate that Jembrana virus inoculation leads to increased body temperature and splenic enlargement in Bali cattle, accompanied by a decrease in Ct values, reflecting higher viral loads. Therefore, the administration of antipyretics, anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, vitamins, and antibiotics prior to vaccination is recommended to reduce the risk of hyperthermia, splenic swelling, decreased Ct values, and secondary infections.

Background: Hyperthermia happened due to the failure of thermoregulatory mechanisms. This condition is particularly dangerous in children because it may cause dehydration, seizures, impaired consciousness, and even damage to vital organs. Data from Riskesdas (2023) show that the highest prevalence of hyperthermia occurred in the 5–14 age group, at 1.9%. Parents, as the primary caregivers, play an essential role in the early detection and management of hyperthermia; therefore, their level of knowledge needs to be examined. Objective: The purpose of this study is to describe the level of parental knowledge regarding the management of hyperthermia in children aged 8–12 years in Gianyar. Methods: This research employed a descriptive quantitative design with a total sampling technique. The sample consisted of 51 parents who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using a questionnaire containing 10 items on the definition of hyperthermia, methods of measuring body temperature, signs and symptoms, and management practices. The data descriptively analyzed by using  the SPSS 25 version. Result: The results showed that most respondents were aged 36–45 years (45.1%), female (54.9%), had completed senior high school education (41.2%), and were employed in the private sector (37.3%). The majority of parents’ knowledge regarding hyperthermia management in children was categorized as good (22 respondents, 43.1%), followed by fair (18 respondents, 35.3%), and poor (11 respondents, 21.6%). Conclusion: The findings indicate that most parents possess good knowledge regarding hyperthermia management; however, a portion still requires improved understanding through health education.

. Introduction Malaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium through the bite of a female Anopheles mosquito. In 2022, WHO recorded 249 million cases of malaria globally. In Indonesia, cases reached 418,546 in 2023, with Papua contributing 92% of the total cases. Yapen Islands Regency recorded 21,238 cases in the first semester of 2023. One of the main symptoms of malaria is hyperthermia, which if not treated immediately, can cause serious complications such as febrile seizures, impaired consciousness, and organ damage. This therapy stimulates peripheral vasodilation, which helps reduce body temperature naturally. The purpose of this study was to describe the implementation and effectiveness of warm compress therapy in malaria patients with hyperthermia. The method used is a descriptive case study. This study uses a descriptive case study approach with the aim of describing the implementation of warm compress therapy as a nursing intervention in malaria patients with hyperthermia problems. The results showed a significant decrease in body temperature and increased patient comfort. The suggestion from this study is the need for education to families and health cadres about this therapy procedure. In conclusion, warm compress therapy is a simple, safe, effective nursing solution that is suitable for use in areas with limited resources. Hyperthermia treatment must be carried out quickly and precisely. An effective and practical solution is the application of warm compress therapy to certain areas of the body (forehead, armpits, groin) using water at a temperature of 37–40°C.

Malaria is an infectious disease transmitted by infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. This disease is caused by the parasitic Plasmodium protozoa that enter the human bloodstream through mosquito bites. Among the various types of Plasmodium that can infect humans, Plasmodium knowlesi, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium malariae, and Plasmodium falciparum are the most dangerous because they can cause death or serious complications. This case study aims to evaluate the effect of warm compresses on hyperthermia in tropical malaria patients in class I & II rooms of Serui Regional Hospital, Papua on February 18, 2025. The author uses a descriptive research method by conducting observations and observations using a nursing process approach. The results of the study showed that the application of warm compress therapy to hyperthermia combined with pharmacological therapy was effective in overcoming hyperthermia in tropical malaria patients. There was a decrease in body temperature from 39.8 ? to 36.7 ? after implementation for 1 day. Monitoring vital signs and evaluating body temperature regularly is very important to assess the effective ness of the intervention. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the effect of warm compress as a non-pharmacological approach in the management of hyperthermia in tropical malaria patients to reduce body temperature and prevent further complications.  

Craniotomy is a medical procedure to open the skull in order to repair and assess damage to the brain, which can cause fever due to thermoregulatory disturbances in the central nervous system. Monitoring the body temperature of post-craniotomy patients is crucial, as hyperthermia can increase the risk of complications. One non-pharmacological therapy to reduce fever is the use of ice gel compresses. This study aims to compare the effect of ice gel compress placement between the chest and armpit on body temperature changes in post-craniotomy patients in the ICU of RSI Sultan Agung Semarang. This research uses a pre-experimental design with a two-group pretest-posttest design, involving 22 respondents selected through total sampling technique. Data were collected using observation sheets, and statistical analysis was performed using the Paired Samples Test. The analysis results showed that the p-value for the chest was 0.867 (p > 0.05) and for the armpit was 0.199 (p > 0.05), indicating no significant difference in body temperature before and after the ice gel compress at both locations in relation to the body temperature changes of post-craniotomy patients. In conclusion, the application of ice gel compresses to the chest and armpit locations did not show a significant effect on reducing body temperature in post-craniotomy patients.

Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by obligate intracellular protozoa of the genus Plasmodium. It can affect individuals of all ages, particularly those living in areas suitable for mosquito breeding. This study employed a case study design involving one adult patient diagnosed with tropical malaria and experiencing hyperthermia. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using a systematic process of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Nursing care focused on managing hyperthermia through the application of warm compresses on affected areas, including the forehead, axilla, and groin. Following the intervention, the patient’s body temperature decreased from 38.2°C to within the normal range. The intervention also contributed to patient comfort, reduced chills, and improved peripheral circulation. These findings indicate that warm compresses are an effective non-pharmacological nursing intervention for reducing elevated body temperature in malaria patients, supporting thermoregulation, enhancing patient comfort, and complementing medical treatment. Implementing timely and appropriate nursing interventions can play a critical role in managing hyperthermia, minimizing complications, and promoting faster recovery in patients with malaria.

This study employs a descriptive method with a case study approach. The participants in this research were pediatric patients who suffered from hyperthermia. The non-pharmacological intervention of tepid water sponge compresses is utilized effectively to lower body temperature in children. The compresses are applied to the forehead and axillary regions, and this procedure is conducted for 3 days, with each compress lasting 15 minutes. The findings from this study over the course of 3 days indicate that the use of tepid water sponge compresses is effective in reducing body temperature in children with hyperthermia.

Fever or hyperthermia is a natural response of the body to fight infections that enter the body and is a sign of an illness. It is said to have a fever if the body temperature exceeds normal body temperature, namely reaching > 37.5°C. The cause of hyperthermia can be due to infectious and non-infectious factors. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that the number of fever cases worldwide ranges between 16 and 33 million, with 500 to 600 thousand deaths per year. The aim of this scientific paper is to provide nursing care to patients with hyperthermia at Dr Soeselo Regional Hospital, Tegal Regency. As a result of the assessment, the patient complained of fever accompanied by coughing, his body temperature reached 39.1°C. Nursing problems that arise are hyperthermia, anxiety and knowledge deficit.

Hyperthermia is a condition characterized by symptoms such as dehydration, muscle spasms, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue, which can harm the patient's condition. The causes of hyperthermia can vary, ranging from lack of fluids to excessive physical activity. RSU Putri Bidadari has doctors who are experts in treating various diseases, including hyperthermia. However, several obstacles often occur in the direct consultation process, such as long queues, long distances, limited time, and costs. Therefore, a technology-based system is needed that is able to manage hyperthermia symptom data and help diagnose the disease early, so that patients can get information and early treatment quickly. This method is used to manage the symptoms selected by the patient to determine the possibility of the disease with a high level of confidence. Based on the analysis of the selected symptoms, this system is able to produce the most accurate diagnosis with the case of hyperthermia type Heat exhaustion, with a confidence level of 50.26%.

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.
