This study was conducted to identify correlations between how much fever management information mothers obtained from the internet and their actual knowledge and practices of fever management.
This was a descriptive survey of 172 mothers with children aged between 0 and 3 attending five daycare centers located in the city of Daegu. Descriptive statistics, the independent t-test or one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation coefficients were used for data analysis.
In total, 75% of the mothers had searched the internet for information on fever management. The overwhelming majority (92.2%) used information from the internet to help manage fever in their children. Positive correlations were found between acquiring fever management information from the internet and fever management practices (r=.18, =.038), and between mother's knowledge and practices of fever management (r=.27, <.001).
Based on the results of this study, to improve fever management practices, it is necessary to increase mothers' knowledge. Therefore, resources should be developed to augment mothers' knowledge of fever management through the internet.
本研究旨在确定母亲从互联网获取的发热管理信息与其实际的发热管理知识和做法之间的相关性。
这是一项对大邱市五家日托中心的172名有0至3岁孩子的母亲进行的描述性调查。描述性统计、独立t检验或单因素方差分析以及Pearson相关系数用于数据分析。
总共75%的母亲在互联网上搜索过发热管理信息。绝大多数（92.2%）利用互联网上的信息来帮助管理孩子的发热。从互联网获取发热管理信息与发热管理做法之间存在正相关（r = 0.18，P = 0.038），母亲的发热管理知识与做法之间也存在正相关（r = 0.27，P < 0.001）。
基于本研究结果，为改善发热管理做法，有必要增加母亲的知识。因此，应开发资源，通过互联网增强母亲对发热管理的知识。
