Abstract

Objective: To assess maternal knowledge regarding fever management in children aged 5 years. Methodology: Data were collected from October 7, 2023, to March 30, 2024. A total of 102 preschoolers (ages 3-5) from Alsalam and Ibn Sina hospitals in Mosul City/Iraq were recruited using convenience sampling. This study used a Completely Randomized Design. The researcher collected data by selecting a sample of participants and intruding to answers with simple explanations without giving any answer or suggestion that could bias the results. Data was collected one day a week from 8:30 A.M. to 1:30 P.M. The time required is 15–30 minutes. In face-to-face interviews, trained interviewers gave the moms the questionnaire. Result: most mothers in this research (39.85%) were 25–33 years old. The majority, 29.80%, had elementary education, 30.2% had more than four children, and 78.75% were homemakers. Our study revealed that 52.5% of mothers struggled to regulate their body temperature, starting around 38.5˚ (28.4%). They believe armpits are the best temperature sampling locations (51.6%) and medicine is the first step (45.6%). Mothers recognize that rainy covering can be used (66.3%). For fever in children under 5 years, 70.7% of mothers visited a physician, and 60.7% chose a height-appropriate dosage.
