To explore parents' experiences of their child suffering febrile seizures.
Seven mothers and four fathers with experience of one or several febrile seizures in their children were interviewed. A qualitative content analysis with an inductive approach was performed.
Five themes emerged; emotional experiences, in terms of anxiety and fear, and need for control, need for support, need for acknowledgement and need for comfort. Professional assurance and support from healthcare staff was considered important to help parents handle the situation.
Febrile seizure caused anxiety due to parents' lack of comprehension about the event and how to act during the seizure.
The pediatric nurse plays an important role in gaining the trust of and supporting parents whose children have suffered febrile seizures. They can alleviate concerns that arise, and also generate assured and well informed parents, who are better prepared to deal with recurrent febrile seizures.
探讨父母在孩子热性惊厥发作时的经历。
对七位有孩子经历过一次或多次热性惊厥的母亲和四位父亲进行了访谈。采用归纳法进行定性内容分析。
出现了五个主题；情感体验，包括焦虑和恐惧，以及控制需求、支持需求、认可需求和安慰需求。医护人员的专业保证和支持被认为对帮助父母应对这种情况很重要。
由于父母对热性惊厥事件缺乏理解以及在惊厥发作时不知如何应对，热性惊厥会引发焦虑。
儿科护士在赢得孩子热性惊厥发作的父母的信任并给予支持方面发挥着重要作用。他们可以减轻出现的担忧，还能让父母安心并充分了解情况，从而更好地准备应对复发性热性惊厥。
