About this trial

This study aims to evaluate the effect of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based educational program on mothers' knowledge and anxiety related to fever management in children. Fever is a common symptom in pediatric patients, especially under the age of three, causing repeated health concerns for parents. Despite the prevalence of fever, parents often lack sufficient knowledge and skills to manage it properly, which may lead to unnecessary anxiety and inappropriate care practices.

The study will be conducted as a pretest-posttest experimental design including 80 mothers of children who visit the Pediatric Emergency Clinic at Kayseri City Hospital. Participants will be assigned to either an intervention group receiving AI-supported fever management education or a control group receiving standard care.

Data will be collected using validated scales to assess parental fever management knowledge and anxiety levels before and after the intervention. The educational material was developed using ChatGPT 4.0, a large language model AI platform, and reviewed by pediatric experts.

The results of this study may improve fever management education and reduce anxiety among mothers, potentially leading to better health outcomes for children.
