s, it might be also useful to introduce practical examples and talk about life parent awareness about the onset of febrile seizures and fever 85
events to parents as well. We believe that during preventive examinations of
children, programmes of parenthood preparation and community nursing ser-
vices when a registered nurse comes to visit her patients at home, it would be
more than reasonable to address fever, and in particular the occurrence of fe-
brile seizures.
In-depth knowledge and awareness can facilitate encounters with febrile
seizures for parents, since it makes it easier for them to recognize the onset
of the condition and at the same time it reassures them such convulsions are
not life-threatening. Moreover, knowledge and subsequent recognition of the
pathological phenomena can help parents reduce the level of stress, anxiety
and fear they might experience in such circumstances. Therefore, we firmly be-
lieve that healthcare professionals should be the most reliable source of quali-
ty information for parents. However, it is vital that even healthcare profession-
als are able to provide the key information to a child’s parents and at the same
time choose the most suitable method of passing it on.
