Fever Education
What this trial is about
Fever is a common symptom of childhood, especially between the ages of one and five, and is the main reason for emergency room visits. These emergency room visits are due to parents incorrect information and practices regarding fever management. This situation causes an increase in parental anxiety and failure to provide fever management. In line with this information, this study was planned to evaluate the effects of education given to parents of children presenting to the emergency room with fever on parental anxiety level and fever management.
