Abstract:	Izhodišča: Vročina je pogost pojav pri otroku do dopolnjenega šestega leta starosti. Neodvisno od otrokove stopnje prizadetosti in prisotnosti spremljajočih simptomov lahko pri starših vzbuja občutek strahu in nemoči, kar lahko vodi v nepremišljeno prakso obvladovanja vročine. Namen raziskave je ugotoviti prepričanja staršev iz splošne populacije glede vročine pri predšolskem otroku in njihovo prakso pri njenem obvladovanju. Raziskovalna metodologija in metode: Izvedli smo presečno raziskavo z metodo anketiranja, v kateri je sodelovalo 114 staršev. Podatke smo zbrali s pomočjo validiranega anketnega vprašalnika. S pomočjo metode zbiranja podatkov in uporabe statističnih metod, pri čemer smo uporabili deskriptivno in sklepno metodo, smo preverili zastavljeni hipotezi in odgovorili na raziskovalna vprašanja. Rezultati: Ugotavljamo, da se starši odločajo za uporabo antipiretikov predvsem z namenom zniževanja povišane telesne temperature ter lajšanja spremljajočih bolečin in nelagodja. Za aplikacijo antipiretika se odločijo, kadar pri otroku izmerijo telesno temperaturo med 38 °C in 39 °C. Za zniževanje vročine pri otroku najraje uporabijo kombinacijo sirupa in svečk. Spoznali smo, da v prepoznavanju neželenih zdravstvenih učinkov ne obstajajo razlike glede na spol. Prav tako ugotavljamo, da pridobljena izobrazba staršev ne vpliva na stopnjo vročine pri otroku, ob kateri se odločijo za aplikacijo antipiretika (p = 0,964). Diskusija in zaključek: Starši imajo dobro znanje in prakso, ki je v skladu z mednarodnimi priporočili, glede obvladovanja vročine pri predšolskem otroku. Vendar pa zaradi premajhnega vzorca anketiranih staršev rezultata ne moremo posploševati.

Title:	Parental beliefs and practices regarding management of fever in pre-school children
Abstract:	Introduction: Fever is a common occurrence in a child up to the age of six. Regardless of the child's degree of impairment and the possible presence of accompanying symptoms, it can cause a feeling of fear and helplessness in parents, which can lead to an unreasonable practice of controlling it. The aim of this study is to identify beliefs of parents from the general population, about fever in preschool children and their practice of controlling it. Research methodology and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using a survey method, involving 114 parents. Data was collected using a validated questionnaire. Using a method of data collection and with the help of statistical methods, using the descriptive and concluding method, we verified set hypotheses and answered both research questions. Results: We found that parents decide to use antipyretics primarily in order to reduce fever and to alleviate the accompanying pain and discomfort of the child. Antipyretic application is decided when the fever is measured between 38 °C and 39 °C. In order to reduce the child’s fever, parents prefer to use a combination of syrup and suppositories. We have learned that there is no gender difference in identifying unwanted health side effects of fever, and also no association between the level of parental education and the degree of child’s fever in which they decide to apply antipyretics (p = 0,964). Discussion and conclusion: Parents have a good knowledge and practice of managing fever in pre-school children, which is in line with the international recommendations. However, we cannot generalize the result of the survey because of insufficient sample of surveyed parents.
Keywords:	Fever, knowledge, antipyretics, side effects, level of education.
