Abstract
Background
Evidence regarding correlations among caregivers’ knowledge, attitude, fever management practices and acetaminophen use is limited. This may increase the risk of preventable adverse outcomes. Therefore, understanding these factors and their relationships is essential for developing targeted interventions aimed at improving caregivers’ fever management competence and medication safety.
Objectives
To examine caregivers’ knowledge, attitude, and acetaminophen use, including fever management behaviors, and explore associations among these variables.
