Fever is a symptom of disease, if the symptoms of fever are not handled properly it can cause complications such as febrile seizures in toddlers and children. Febrile seizures are health problems that most often occur in toddlers and children, and will even recur. Febrile seizures are seizures that occur when the body temperature increases (38°C) caused by an extracranial process. It is important for parents to manage fever properly and appropriately. The purpose of this community service activity is to increase understanding and knowledge about fever management to prevent or control the occurrence of febrile seizures in toddlers and children to parents. The methods used include lectures, questions and answers, and demonstrations of handling fever that parents can do when their child is in a febrile seizure. The results of the activity showed that there was an increase in parental knowledge about how to deal with febrile seizures in toddlers and children by 10%. Abstrak Demam merupakan gejala penyakit, jika gejala demam tersebut tidak ditangani dengan baik maka dapat menimbulkan komplikasi seperti kejang demam pada balita dan anak. Kejang demam adalah masalah kesehatan yang paling sering terjadi pada balita dan anak, bahkan akan berulang. Kejang demam merupakan bangkitan kejang yang terjadi pada kenaikan suhu tubuh (suhu 38°C) yang disebabkan oleh suatu proses ekstrakranium. Penting bagi orang tua untuk mengelola demam dengan benar dan tepat. Tujuan dilaksankannya kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan pengetahuan tentang manajemen demam untuk mencegah atau mengontrol terjadinya kejang demam pada balita dan anak kepada orangtua. Metode yang digunakan meliputi ceramah, tanya jawab, dan demonstrasi penanganan demam yang dapat dilakukan orang tua saat anaknya dalam keadaan kejang demam.

Asthma is a disease that occurs in bronchi that do not have a framework of cartilage rings so that there is a sudden narrowing. Based on the Global Initiative for Asthma, in 2021 asthma sufferers worldwide are estimated to be more than 260 million people and cause 461,000 deaths. The purpose of this study was to find out whether there is an effect of giving deep breathing techniques to changes in oxygen saturation and respiratory frequency in bronchial asthma patients at the Emergency Room at Embung Fatimah Hospital, Batam City in 2022. This study was a pure experimental study with a pre and post test control group design. . The sample size in this study was 16 respondents in the treatment group and 16 respondents in the control group. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. Based on statistical tests using the Wilcoxon alternative test, it was found in the treatment group p-Value = 0.000 <0.05, which means that there is an effect of increasing oxygen saturation values and respiratory frequency by administering deep breathing techniques with an average increase in pretest and posttest oxygen saturation of 4.81 and an increase in pretest and posttest respiratory frequency of 6.38. Whereas in the control group p-Value = 0.000 <0.05, which means there is an effect of increasing oxygen saturation values and breathing frequency without deep breathing techniques with an average pretest and posttest increase of 3.63 and an increase in pretest and posttest respiratory frequency of 5.
