EFEKTIVITAS PEMBERIAN TEPID WATER SPONGE TERHADAP MASALAH KEPERAWATAN HIPERTERMI PADA An.N DENGAN DIAGNOSA CAMPAK (MORBILI)

Background: Measles or commonly called morbili, is a disease caused by a virus belonging to the Paramyxovirus group. Transmission can occur through air that has been contaminated by droplets (spit) of infected people. Most cases of measles attack children of preschool age and elementary school age.
Objective: The purpose of writing this scientific work is so that the author is able to understand the concept of the effectiveness of giving tepid water sponge towards the nursing problem of hyperthermia in An. N with a diagnosis of measles (morbili)
Method: The research method used in preparing this final scientific work is by using case study report. The research was conducted in the pediatric room at UMM Regional Hospital on An.N aged 3 years 24 days with a diagnosis of measles (morbili). The method of collecting data is by direct observation and interviews with patients and their families.
Results: After analyzing the assessment, the researcher raised a priority nursing diagnosis, namely hyperthermia related to the disease process. Implementations that have been carried out include management of hyperthermia by administering tepid water sponge in the area axilla patient for 10-15 minutes.
Conclusion: The act of giving tepid water sponge in An.N effective in reducing the temperature from 38.4 C to 37.3 C. Technical compression tepid water sponge can accelerate vasodilation of peripheral blood vessels throughout the body so that heat is removed from the body through the skin more quickly
