Demam pada umumnya banyak di alami terutama pada balita, karena daya tahan tubuh balita yang masih lemah dan kebutuhan balita akan gizi sangat tinggi dan perlu diperhatikan oleh orangtua. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengidentifikasi suhu tubuh balita demam, mengetahui distribusi suhu tubuh balita demam dan mengetahuhi pengaruh pemberian tumbukan daun sicerek (clausena excavata burm. f) terhadap penurunan suhu tubuh pada balita demam. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Sungai Tarab II selama 2 minggu yaitu pada minggu kedua dan minggu ketiga di bulan Agustus 2022. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan pendekatan quasi experiment. Jumlah populasi dalam penelitian ini 878 balita, pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik Accidental Sampling, jumlah sampel penelitian sebanyak 23 balita. Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan adalah wawancara dan observasi.Uji yang digunakan adalah Uji Wilcoxon karena pada uji normalitas data berdistribusi tidak normal. Hasil penelitian berdasarkan analisis univariat ditemukan rata-rata suhu tubuh sebelum diberikan daun sicerek yaitu 38.19C dengan standar deviasi 0.164. Setelah diberikan daun sicerek hasil analisis didapatkan rata-rata suhu tubuh menurun dan diperoleh data suhu tubuh balita yaitu 37.22C dengan standar deviasi 0.208. Hasil analisis bivariat menggunakan wilcoxon didapat nilai mean different 0,97, dan P value sebesar 0,000, nilai statistik ini menunjukkan terdapat pengaruh pemberian tumbukan daun sicerek (clausena excavata burm. f) terhadap penurunan suhu tubuh pada balita demam di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Sungai Tarab II Kabupaten Tanah Datar Tahun 2022. Diharapkan orangtua memiliki pengetahuan tentang gejala demam pada balita dan memberikan perhatian terhadap penanganan secara cepat dan tepat terhadap balita sehingga tidak mengakibatkan dampak kematian kepada balita. Kemudian direkomendasikan kepada dinas terkait untuk dapat menginformasikan, mengembangkan dan menggunakan penelitian ini sebagai salah satu referensi atau alternatif pengobatan dalam penanganan balita demam.

Fever is generally experienced, especially in toddlers, because the toddler's immune system is still weak and the toddler's need for nutrition is very high and needs to be considered by parents. The purpose of this study was to identify the body temperature of toddlers with fever, to determine the distribution of body temperature of toddlers with fever and to find out the effect of crushed sicerek leaves (Clausena excavata burm. f) on decreasing body temperature in toddlers with fever. This Study was conducted in the Sungai Tarab II Health Work Center Area for 2 weeks, namely in the second week and third week in August 2022. This study uses a quantitative method with a quasi experiment. The total population in this study was 878 children under five, sampling using the Accidental Sampling technique, the number of research samples was 23 toddlers. The research instruments used were interviews and observations using Wilcoxon test. The results of the study based on univariate analysis the average body temperature before being given sicerek leaves was 38.19C with a standard deviation of 0.164. After being given sicerek leaves, the results of the analysis showed that the average body temperature decreased and data obtained for toddlers' body temperature was 37.22C with a standard deviation of 0.208. The results of the bivariate analysis using Wilcoxon obtained a mean different value of 0.97, and a P value of 0.000 , this statistical value indicates there is an effect of giving crushed sicerek leaves (Clausena excavata burm. f) to the decrease in body temperature in toddler with fever in the working area of Sungai Tarab II Public Health Center, Tanah Datar Regency in 2022. Expected that parents have knowledge about the symptoms of fever in toddlers and pay attention to handling quickly and precisely for toddlers so that it does not result in the impact of death on toddlers. Then it is recommended to the relevant agencies to be able to inform, develop and use this research as a reference or alternative treatment in handling fever under five.
