Abstract


Background: Typhoid fever is commony found disease at the hospital. One of the treatments for typhoid fever is intravenous fluid therapy. This procedure certainly causing pain. Actions to minimize pain to children when infusion is carried out are part of the principles of atraumatic care. One of the atraumatic principle can be performed on children is the use of vibrators and cold compresses to minimize pain.
