Introduction Hyperthermia is a common condition in children characterized by an increase in body temperature above normal and can cause serious complications if not treated properly. Aloe vera compress as a non-pharmacological intervention is chosen because of its antimicrobial properties and calming effects.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Aloe Vera compress technique in reducing body temperature in children with hyperthermia.
Method: This study used a descriptive case study approach to one school-age child who experienced hyperthermia. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and physical examinations. Interventions in the form of aloe vera compresses were carried out for two days, and the patient's body temperature was monitored for three days.
Result: The patient's initial body temperature was recorded at 38.6°C. After the first day of intervention, the temperature decreased to 38.2°C, then to 37.9°C on the second day, and reached a normal temperature of 37.2°C on the third day. This indicates a gradual and significant decrease in body temperature.
Conclusion: The application of aloe vera compresses has been proven effective as a non-pharmacological intervention in lowering the body temperature of children with hyperthermia. This intervention provides a safe, comfortable, and easy-to-do therapeutic effect in the home environment.
