Abstrakt: Objective(s): Convulsions caused by fever in children and parents not knowing about the nature of this disease cause severe anxiety and inappropriate performance in parents. Due to the cost-effectiveness of the telenursing method, nurses can use it to provide a large amount of information in a short period with distance education. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of telenursing training on the anxiety of mothers with children suffering from febrile convulsions. Methods: This quasi-experimental intervention study was conducted in 2020-2021 among 60 mothers with children suffering from febrile seizures in the hospitals of Birjand, Iran. The sampling method was accessible and then people were randomly divided into two intervention and control groups. After being discharged from the hospital, the intervention group received telenursing (for 2 weeks and 3 sessions each week for 15 minutes via mobile phone and by calling the mothers and sending an educational video). The control group received routine training at discharge. The data collection questionnaire included the demographic and background information and the Spielberger anxiety questionnaire. The Spielberger questionnaire was completed at the beginning and after the end of the intervention. SPSS software version 16 and paired t, independent t and chisquare statistical tests were used for data analysis. Results: Stait and trait anxiety before the intervention was not significant between the control and intervention groups (P=0.865 and P=0.153, respectively). There was a statistically significant difference between the two intervention and control groups in Stait and trait anxiety after the intervention, and it was reduced in the intervention group (P<0.001). Conclusion: Telenursing training was an effective method in reducing the anxiety of mothers with children suffering from febrile convulsions. Therefore, it is suggested to use the telenursing method in order to reduce anxiety among mothers with children suffering from febrile convulsions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
