“…This result was in disagreement with Kanemura et al [26] who reported in his study that, there is no attempt done by parents to perform mouth to mouth resuscitation while, 7.7% of them shaken their children vigorously. This result may be due to the mothers thought that their child heart was arrest and unable to take breathing, also they think that their child may be injured during febrile convulsion or it may be die so they believe that the first thing is to do cardiac massage; all of this inappropriate practice is due to lack of knowledge and practice about FC management.…”

FC occurrence can affect negatively on the familial quality of life and the parents may experience anxiety and fear with every time child develops fever. Therefore, parents and care givers should be educated about febrile convulsion and its home management. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of implementing an educational module on mother's knowledge, home management and attitude about febrile convulsion.Methods: A quasi experimental research design using one group pre & post-test was used. The study sample included 107 mothers of children with febrile convulsion according to statistical consultant and statistical formula. The inclusion criteria were: all mothers of children with first or recurrent FC and the children age was from 6 months to five years. The study was conducted at the Emergency department, outpatient clinic and medical word affiliated to Mansoura University Children's Hospital, Egypt.Results: It was found that, fifty two percent (52.3%) of studied children were boys with the mean age were Mean ± SD 2.76 ± 1.30 for children and 30.29 ± 6.41 for mothers. Percentage of studied mother with good knowledge at base line was low (11.2%) while, this percentage was improved to 65.4% with a mean knowledge score 3.98 ± 2.18 before module and 9.70 ± 1.56 after module implementation. In addition, sixty four percent (64.4%) of studied mothers had inappropriate practice and home management compared to less than half (44.9%) after module implementation; the difference was statistically significant (p = .005). Only 25.3% of mothers had positive attitude about febrile convulsion before module implementation and this percentage was improved to 57.9% after module implementation with the mean score of attitude 18.42 ± 5.84 before module and 24.71 ± 6.76 post module implementation and the difference was statistically significant (p = .025). Conclusions:The study concluded that, the use of educational intervention programs and mothers support group were influenced positively in improving mothers' knowledge, home management & attitude about FC and its management; but still some mothers having inappropriate home management and negative attitude.

Background: Nearly one-third of febrile seizure patients suffered recurrent febrile seizures. Several risk factors contribute to this recurrence, namely young age, family history of febrile seizures, low body temperature and rapid duration of fever before onset of seizures. Recently, the types of seizure and gender have been stated increasing risk of this recurrence. The objectives of this study was to identify the risk factors of recurrent febrile seizures. Methods: A descriptive study was carried out by retrieving data from inpatient medical records during the period of January 1st, 2009 to December 31st, 2013 at one of the top referral hospitals in West Java, Indonesia. Variables of this study were the first febrile seizure age, gender, type of febrile seizure, a family history of febrile seizure, a family history of epilepsy, body temperature when febrile seizure occurred and duration of fever before onset of seizure. The collected data were tabulated by frequency and percentage and displayed in tables. Results: Out of 154 patients with febrile seizures 58 suffered recurrent febrile seizures. Forty three percent had a first febrile seizure at the age of under12 months, 72% were male, 46% had fever less than 24 hours before the onset of seizure, 65% had complex febrile seizures, 28% had positive family history of febrile seizures, and 5% had positive family history of epilepsy. Conclusions: The risk factors for recurrent febrile seizures are young age, male, rapid duration of fever before onset of seizure and complex febrile seizure.

ÖZETAmaç: Yineleyen nöbetleri olan çocuklarda ebeveynlere hastane dışında nöbete yaklaşım ile ilgili yeterli bilgi verilmelidir. Bu çalışmada, epilepsi ve yineleyen febril konvulsiyonlu olguların aileleri ile görüşülerek hastane dışında nöbet geçirmesi durumunda nöbet geçiren çocuğa karşı yaklaşımları ve ailelerin nöbet yönetimi konusunda gereksinimlerini saptamak amaçlandı. Yöntemler: Bu çalışma, Eylül 2014 ve Şubat 2015 tarihleri arasında Çocuk Nöroloji Polikliniğine başvuran, yineleyen nöbet öyküsü olan 280 çocuğun aileleri ile anket formu üzerinden görüşüle-rek yapıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 223 (%79,6)'ü epilepsi, 57 (%20,4)'si yineleyen febril konvulsiyon tanısı olan 280 olgu alındı. Ebeveynlerin 194 (%69,3)'ü nöbet sırasında müdahale ile ilgili yazılı olmayan bilgi aldığını belirtti. Nöbet sırasında evde en sık yapılan ilk uygulama olguların %26,8 (n=75) ile pozisyon verme şeklindeydi. Nöbetin uzaması durumunda rektal diazepam uygulaması olguların 120 (%42,8)'sinde yapılırken 160 olguda çeşitli nedenlerle uygulanmadığı belirtildi. Rektal ilaç uygulama oranı gelir düzeyinin artması ve hastalık takip süresinin uzun olması ile ilişkili bulundu (p değeri sırasıyla 0,029 ve 0,037). Nöbet sırasında yapılması önerilen doğru uygulamaların gelir ve öğrenim düzeyi ile anlamlı oranda artış gösterdiği saptandı. Sonuç: Yineleyen nöbeti olan çocukların ebeveynlerinin nöbet kontrolü konusunda yetersiz, yanlış bilgi ve ilk yardım pratiğine sahip oldukları saptanmıştır. Bu nedenle ebeveynlerin nöbet yönetimi ile ilgili düzenli bir eğitime tabi tutulma gerekliliği görülmüştür.Anahtar kelimeler: Epilepsi, febril nöbet, çocuk, ebeveyn bilgisi ABSTRACT Objective: Sufficient information should be given to parents who have children with recurrent seizures about the approach to seizures outside the hospital. This study was aimed to identify the approach of the parents towards children with recurrent febrile seizures and epilepsy, and their requirements about management of seizures outside the hospital. Methods: This study has been conducted between September 2014 and February 2015 using an interview questionnaire with the parents of the children who were admitted to the pediatric neurology outpatient clinic with a history of seizure. Results: The study included 223 (79.6%) cases with epilepsy, and 57 (20.4%) patients (total n=280) who received diagnosis of recurrent febrile seizures. A total of 194 (69.3%) parents said that they received oral information regarding the management of seizures. The most often application during seizures in 26.8% (n=75) of the cases was positioning the patient. Rectal administration of diazepam was the most common intervention for prolonged seizure in 120 (42.8%) cases, however in 160 cases it was not applied for various reasons. Frequency of rectal administration of the drugs was found to be associated with income level and the longer follow-up period (p-values of 0.029 and 0.037, respectively). It was detected that with the higher education and income levels, frequency of recommended correct applica...
