Abstract

Sepsis is still an important health problem in the world today. The incidence of sepsis can reach 750,000 cases per year. When mothers have a vital role in family health, their lack of knowledge and concern about sepsis remains an obstacle. Therefore, we need a program to promote and prevent sepsis among mothers in West Medan District as an effort to reduce the number of sepsis in Indonesia. Coaching, training, and counseling are given to PKK mothers and Posyandu cadres regarding the prevention of severe infections that can cause sepsis. This activity began by collecting basic data using the Sepsis Knowledge Scale questionnaire and then provided counseling and training on sepsis. Then, the final results were assessed with a behavioral questionnaire and sepsis knowledge questionnaire. The activity was attended by 29 people, 20 women (72.4%) and 9 men (27.6%). No significant changes were found in the level of knowledge and behavior before and after the activity (Z-score: 0.001; p = 1,000).

Abstract

Febrile seizures are common neurological disorders in pediatric patients and usually affect children between 6 months and five years, peaking in 14 to 18 months. Mothers have a vital role in ensuring their family’s well-being. However, they often cannot contribute significantly to febrile seizure prevention and treatment at home due to the lack of knowledge and awareness. Therefore, we need to provide a promotive and preventive program for febrile seizures to the mothers at Medan Barat District, Medan, Sumatera Utara. This activity aims to reduce the incidence of febrile seizures in Indonesia. We delivered the program in several stages, from basic data collection, lectures, febrile seizure prevention, early management at-home training, evaluation, and guidebook handover. Twenty-nine people attended this program, twenty women (72.4%) and nine men (27.6%). No significant change was found in the level of knowledge and behavior before and after the activity (Z-score: 0,001; p= 1,000).
