Abstract

An important factor in speeding up a child's recovery is the mother's knowledge about her child's illness. A mother must play an important role when her child suffers from a febrile seizure to prevent the child from experiencing more serious health issues. The knowledge that a mother possesses can support the management of the fever condition that occurs. Objective. This Community Service activity aims to help improve knowledge and skills in the first handling of febrile seizures at Posyandu Garuda II Kembaran Purwokerto. Methods.
