Abstract

This study examined parents' knowledge, attitudes and beliefs around fever in children under five years of age. Many parents were very concerned when their child was febrile and used a range of information sources to obtain knowledge. Due to issues of trust with these sources, reassurance was often sought from healthcare practitioners. Further initiatives are required to provide trustworthy, accessible information to parents on the management of fever, Laura J Sahm and her co-authors conclude. The study was conducted in Denmark (1). See also the editorial by Nathalie Bertille et al (2).
