Panic or peace – prioritising infant welfare when medicating feverish infants: a grounded theory study of adherence in a paediatric clinical trial

Abstract: Background Literature on factors influencing medication adherence within paediatric clinical trials is sparse. The Paracetamol and Ibuprofen in the Primary Prevention of Asthma in Tamariki (PIPPA Tamariki) trial is an open-label, randomised controlled trial aiming to determine whether paracetamol treatment, compared with ibuprofen treatment, as required for fever and pain in the first year of life, increases the risk of asthma at age six years. To inform strategies for reducing trial medication… Show more

“…Acetaminophen as raw material is described as a fine crystalline powder of white colour with a slightly pungent flavour, freely soluble in alcohol, soluble in boiling water and in 1 N sodium hydroxide (Farmacopea de los Estados Unidos de America Formulario Nacional USP 40 NF 35, 2017). Acetaminophen is highly recognized by paediatricians for its safety and effectiveness in the paediatric population (Tan et al, 2022). In women of childbearing age and during pregnancy, acetaminophen has been shown to be safe since no proven increase in the frequency of malformations or other direct or indirect harmful effects on the foetus has been observed (Acetaminophen Dosage Guide with Precautions, n.d.).…”

“…These irrational beliefs, also labelled as "fever phobia" [42], have been observed in parents of various socioeconomic and education levels and in different parts of the world [46,50,282,285]. The misconceptions about fever have remained relatively unchanged throughout the last four decades, despite decline in childhood mortality due to illness, and availability of evidencebased materials for guidance for management of fever [44,47,282].…”

“…While it may be the case that the main reason behind parental concerns is the seriousness of the child's condition, lack of understanding of the role of fever during an infection, or unfounded fear of its effects also plays a significant role. "Fever phobia" by parents, first described decades ago [42], is still present nowadays despite widely available information on proper management of fever in children [43][44][45][46][47], and one of the main causes of non-urgent visits to ED [45,48]. Recognition of this anxiety and exploration of the triggers for it is the key for improvement of communication with the caregivers, and would enable clinicians to construct educational measures to reduce the concern raised by fever itself and empower parents to manage their child's fever properly and with confidence [47,49,50].…”

“…Lai gan vecāku bažu iemesls var būt bērna stāvokļa nopietnība, tās var veicināt arī nepilnīga izpratne par drudža lomu infekciozas dabas saslimšanā, kā arī nepamatotas bailes par drudža negatīvu ietekmi uz bērna organismu. Vecākiem raksturīgā "drudža fobija", kas pirmo reizi aprakstīta pirms vairākām desmitgadēm [41], vēl joprojām novērojama arī mūsdienās, par spīti plaši pieejamai informācijai par bērnu ar drudzi pareizu aprūpi [42][43][44][45][46], un tā ir pamatā nozīmīgam daudzumam nepamatoto Neatliekamās palīdzības nodaļu apmeklējumu [44,47]. Šo nepamatoto baiļu un to veicinošo faktoru atpazīšanai ir būtiska loma komunikācijas ar vecākiem uzlabošanai, un tā palīdzētu klīnicistiem izstrādāt atbilstošu pacientu un vecāku izglītošanas stratēģiju, tādējādi ne tikai mazinot vecāku bažas, bet arī radot viņos pārliecību par savām spējām pareizi aprūpēt bērnu [46,48,49].…”

Papildus tā palīdzētu klīnicistiem atšķirt vecāku "drudža fobiju" no patiesām bažām, ka bērna stāvoklis attiecīgajā drudža epizodē ir nopietnāks nekā iepriekš, kas savukārt uzlabotu febrilu pacientu izvērtēšanas un diagnostikas procesu.…”
