Summary

This study tests whether a training program for parents of children who have had a febrile convulsion (a seizure caused by fever) can lower parental anxiety and increase their knowledge about the condition. About 66 parents of children aged 6 months to 5 years will be randomly assigned to receive the training or standard care. Researchers will measure anxiety and knowledge using questionnaires.
