Parents in the experimental group were randomly assigned. Parents in the experimental group will be trained with parent fever management training material via home visits. Repeated measurements will be made one month after the training and at 3 months. Parent fever management training material was created by the researcher according to the literature. Opinions of experts in the field were obtained for the suitability of the training booklet.

No intervention will be made to the control group. Only measurements will be made on parallel dates with the experimental group.

Another aspect of this research that is different from other studies is that a retention test will be applied to the participants after the pre-test and post-test, and the long-term effect of the training given will be examined. In this direction, it is aimed to reduce the inappropriate use of emergency services, the use of unnecessary tests and the increasing health system costs. It is aimed to prevent crowding in the emergency department by reducing the inappropriate use of emergency services.

This form was prepared by the researcher in line with the literature. This form consists of three sections. The parent sociodemographic form, the child sociodemographic form and the form, which includes questions on parental fever-related knowledge and practices, consists of a total of 35 questions.

The scale was developed by Spielber and others in 1964 to determine anxiety levels. The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale was carried out by Öner and Le Compte in 1985. The scale provides information about what is felt at that moment and consists of 20 items in Likert type, scored from 1 to 4. 1 is not at all, 2 is a little, 3 is very much and 4 is completely agree, and the individual marks one of these. A value of 1 indicates high anxiety, while a value of 4 indicates low anxiety. Items 1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16, 19, and 20 in the SAI are reversed. When calculating the scale score, the total score of the reversed items is subtracted from the total of the correct statements and a fixed score of 50 is added to this number. The total score obtained from the scale varies between 20 and 80. As the score increases, it indicates that anxiety is high, and as the score decreases, it indicates that anxiety decreases.

The scale was developed by Walsh and Edwards in 2008 to assess parents' fever management practices. The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale was conducted by Cınar et al. in 2013. The scale consists of 8 items and is a Likert-type scale with items rated as "(1) never, (2) rarely, (3) sometimes, (4) often, (5) always". The lowest possible score for the scale is 8 and the highest is 40. A higher score indicates more fever management practices, and a lower score indicates less fever management practices. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of the scale is 0.75.
