Acute hepatitis in children with an unknown cause is defined as an extraordinary event. Children experiencing acute hepatitis may progress to severe acute hepatitis and acute liver failure, leading to potential fatality. This study aimed to identify the empowerment of cadres in preventing acute hepatitis with unknown causes in agro-nursing areas. Employing a quasi-experimental research design, the study involved 21 integrated healthcare center cadres in an agro-nursing area. The questionnaire served as the measuring tool, and the data were analyzed using a paired sample test. The results revealed a significant p-value of 0.000, indicating differences in the cadres' abilities before and after empowerment. Empowering cadres through discussions provides them with opportunities to address problems collaboratively, fostering commitment to the prevention and early detection of acute hepatitis in children. An acute hepatitis is relatively new and life-threatening, and the prompt action of cadres, communities, and health workers, supporting government programs, contribute to the success of cadre empowerment efforts in preventing and detecting acute hepatitis in children. Empowering cadres through additional information and discussion yields positive outcomes, emphasizing the importance of efforts to prevent and detect acute hepatitis in children in agro-nursing areas.
