Fever in children is a condition that often causes serious problems in children. Fever occurs at temperatures >37.5ºC usually caused by autoimmune infections and diseases. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that the number of diseases in children with fever symptoms is 62% with a mortality rate of 33%. Giving Aloe Vera compresses is one of the non-phamacological interventions that can reduce dampness. The purpose of this study was to find out how the effectiveness of Aloe Vera Compress Intervention on Decreasing body temperature in children with fever. The research design used One group pretest-posttest. The variables in this research are Aloe Vera Compress as an independent variable and Decrease in body temperature in Fever children as the dependent variable. The population in this study were all pediatric patients aged 5-11 years who experienced fever at the Bahbiak Health Center in Pematangsiantar City, Siantar Marimbun District. Sampling using purposive sampling technique of 12 respondents. The intervention carried out compresses Aloe Vera for 15 minutes. Temperature measurement using a digital thermometer. Data were collected by observation sheets and tested by Paired Sample-Test. The results showed that there was a change in the body temperature of the Fever child. The results of Shaphiro-Wilk normality test results of body temperature before giving Aloe Vera compress is 130 and body temperature after giving Aloe Vera compress is 037. Paired Sample-Test statistical test results show data ρ = 0,000 <α = 0.05 then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. which means that there is an effectiveness in administering Aloe Vera compresses to reduce body temperature of children aged 5-11 years of fever. It is hoped that health workers can apply non-pharmacological therapies such as aloe vera compresses for a decrease in a child's body temperature.
Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that still has became theworld concern. In Indonesia, pulmonary tuberculosis is still major communityhealth problem eventhough the goverment have already develop Tuberculosis programsince decade ago. The purpose of this research is to describe factors contributing to pulmonary tuberculosis through general characteristic of the pulmonary Tubeculos is patients and their environmental especially housing condition.The aims of Reseach to know the relationship of coping stress with adherence to Medication in people with Tuberculosis in Delitua Sub district health centers Delitua Deli Serdang district the year 2017.

The Data of obtained by the used of questionnaires and direct observations in the neighborhood Health Center. Sampling of the techniques, namely the minimum number of samples with 61 samples. The data using computer programs with the chi-square test with a significance level of 95% (? = 0.05) value p = 0.001. The results of the data analysis Univariate statistics for trials with Koping stress indicate that the average sufferer of Tuberculosis are at categories de-stress kopingAdaktif 70.5%,as for compliance with medication is at a category i.e. 82.0% Obedient, Chi-square test results Showed there is Relationship stress Compliance with the Koping medication (0.001). The conclusions of this Reasech showed that stress Koping have relationships with Medication Compliance.
“Chronic kidney failure is a progressive and irreversible decline in kidney function, in which the body is unable to maintain fluid balance and electrolyte metabolism. In practice, patients must limit the liquid diet to prevent complications. However, this action can affect several aspects of the human body, namely dry mouth or xerostomyadue to reduce saliva production. To reduce patient complaints, the action that can be done is to stimulate the salivary glands with chemical stimulation using acidic vitamin C lozenges. The purpose of this study was to determine the stimulating effects of vitamin C lozenges to increase salivary secretion in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis therapy at Sembiring General Hospital. This study used a Pre-experimental design with a pretest-posttest design. The sample amounted to 48 respondents, using Purposive Sampling techniques. Data analysis techniques using Paired t Test to determine whether there are significant differences in salivary secretion at the pretest and posttest. Based on statistical test Paired t Test data analysis conducted found significant differences amount of secretion of saliva before and after the value of p = 0.000 p <0.005 found a significant increase in the secretion of saliva between pretest saliva and posttest conclusion, the stimulation of the provision of lozenges vitamin C has the effect of increasing salivary secretion in patients with chronic kidney failure undergoing hemodialysis therapy at Sembiring General Hospital”. Keywords: Stimulation, Saliva Secretion, Chronic Kidney Failure.
