[Educating Parents about Fever in Childhood Evaluation of the Effect of an Information Leaflet].

Background: Fever is an important immune reaction of the body in infections and plays a major role in childhood. Fear and uncertainty in dealing with fever are still widespread among parents. Information leaflets on the knowledge and handling of fever in childhood can serve as an educational tool for parents.

Cross-sectional study of parental knowledge, behaviour and anxiety in management of paediatric fever among German parents.

Objectives: Fever is a common symptom among children. Parental lack of knowledge about fever could cause anxiety and lead to unnecessary measures to subside fever. There is little evidence about German parents' knowledge and their fever management.
