To describe the parental knowledge and care of fever in children under 2years. Relate this data with socio-demographic with characteristics.
Cross-sectional and correlation multicenter study.
Five teams of Primary Care in Barcelona.
Parents of children under 2years attended to administer a vaccine included in the pediatric systematic calendar. A total of 311 subjects participated.
The main variables are 9 items of knowledge and 8 of care or management of fever obtained with the adaptation of the questionnaire by Chiappini et al. (2012).
69.8% had a correct care/management of fever. 3.9% matched all items of knowledge. The knowledge score is lower in people with no education (p=0.03); higher in Europe and South America and lowest in Asia and Africa (P<.001). 100% of patients that had chronic problems answered correctly all items of fever care (P=.03). It is important to note that the correlation between the scores of knowledge and management is positive (rho=0.15, P=.008).
A correct care of fever is observed despite the low knowledge. A good strategy to promote a correct care of febrile child is to do sanitary education with update information and adapted it to parents, focusing on the differences between ethnic groups because they seem to have inaccurate beliefs about fever.
描述2岁以下儿童家长对发热的认知及护理情况，并将这些数据与社会人口学特征相关联。
横断面相关性多中心研究。
巴塞罗那的五支初级保健团队。
前来为其2岁以下儿童接种儿科系统疫苗接种计划中包含疫苗的家长。共有311名受试者参与。
主要变量是通过改编Chiappini等人（2012年）的问卷获得的9项关于发热的知识以及8项关于发热护理或处理的内容。
69.8%的家长对发热有正确的护理/处理方法。3.9%的家长所有知识项目回答正确。未受过教育的人知识得分较低（p = 0.03）；欧洲和南美洲的得分较高，亚洲和非洲的得分最低（P <.001）。患有慢性疾病的患者中100%正确回答了所有发热护理项目（P =.03）。需要注意的是，知识得分与处理得分之间的相关性为正（rho = 0.15，P =.008）。
尽管知识水平较低，但仍观察到对发热有正确的护理。促进对发热儿童进行正确护理的一个好策略是开展卫生教育，提供最新信息并使其适合家长，关注不同种族群体之间的差异，因为他们似乎对发热存在错误认知。
