ABSTRACT RESULTS OF MEASUREMENT OF BODY TEMPERATURE WITH GLASS MERCURY THERMOMETER AND DIGITAL AXILLA ON ADULT PATIENTS AT BANDUNG ADVENTIST HOSPITAL Andi P. Silaban NIM: 1451021 In others studies conducted by previous researchers about comparing the result of axilla temperature measurement, there is a variety result ranging from having a significant and an insignificant difference. The purpose of this research is to compare the body’s temperature using a glass mercury thermometer and digital axilla on adult patients at Bandung Adventist Hospital. Comparative quantitative with two groups independent t-test was used to determine the difference. Samples are chosen using convenience sampling technique. The sample in this study consists 22 people. The data was collected by using a mercury thermometer and axilla digital thermometer on the right axilla of each sample. The data was calculated by using Independent t-test. The results show that the significance (2-tailed) of the statistical Independent T-test results is 0,553. The temperature of the body by using mercury thermometer and digital axilla is 38,6682 ± 0,58585 and 38,5636 ± 0,57366 respectively. The conclusion obtained is that the result of the measurement of body temperature between a mercury thermometer and a digital thermometer has no significant difference. The results of this study may allow for subsequent research to use in group controlled and in grouping types of diseases.
