Abstract :
Introduction: Febrile seizures, or fever fits, are seizures associated with high body temperature in children aged 5 months to 5 years, without serious underlying health issues. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an information booklet in improving maternal knowledge about preventing febrile seizures among mothers of under-five children in selected rural areas. Objectives included assessing baseline knowledge, evaluating the booklet's impact, and exploring associations between knowledge and demographic variables. Methodology: An experimental one-group pre and posttest design was employed. Forty mothers of under-five children were selected via convenience sampling. Data collection involved a structured knowledge questionnaire administered before and seven days after distributing the information booklet. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis.
