摘要

导言:发烧是儿童时期的常见病,护理人员会高度关注如何处理发烧,这就是所谓的 "发烧恐惧症":目的:评估研究人群中是否存在发烧恐惧症及其相关因素。方法:在 2021 年至 2022 年期间,通过向在智利圣地亚哥罗伯托-德尔里奥博士儿童医院急诊室就诊的 6 岁以下患者的父母和/或看护人发放特别调查问卷,进行观察性、横断面、前瞻性和分析性研究。除了进行单变量逻辑回归分析外,还通过卡方检验和费雪检验分析了发热儿童的社会人口学变量、知识、态度和恐惧之间的关联:共进行了 381 次调查。98%的人有不同程度的发烧恐惧症。40.6%的人认为发烧低于 38°C。56%的护理人员采取了物理措施。82%的人担心的主要后遗症是抽搐,42.7%的人表示发烧可能致命。92.1%的人使用不可靠的信息来源,66%的人从未接受过医务人员在这方面的教育。逻辑回归显示,父母、基础教育或高中教育水平以及38°C以下的热阈值是最相关的变量:发烧恐惧症是目前我国人口中的一种现象,对父母和看护人进行健康教育可以预防发烧恐惧症。

[Feverphobia: Frecuency and related factors associated]

Introduction: Fever is common in childhood and there is a high level of concern on behalf of caregivers to manage it, this is called "feverphobia".

Objective: The objective was to evaluate the presence of feverphobia and associated factors in the study population. Methods: observational, cross-sectional, prospective, and analytical study during 2021 to 2022 through an ad hoc survey self-administered to parents and/or caregivers of patients under 6 years of age who consulted the emergency room of the Dr. Roberto del Río Children's Hospital in Santiago, Chile. The association between sociodemographic variables, knowledge, attitudes, and fears regarding febrile children was analyzed by Chi square and Fisher’s test in addition to univariate logistic regression analysis.

Results: A total of 381 surveys were carried out. 98% presented some degree of feverphobia. A fever below 38°C was defined by 40.6%. Physical measures were used by 56% of caregivers. The main sequelae feared were convulsions in 82% and 42.7% reported that it could be lethal. A total of 92.1% used unreliable sources of information and 66% had never received education from health personnel on this subject. Logistic regression showed that being a parent, basic or high school level and a thermal threshold below 38°C were the most associated variables.

Conclusions: Feverphobia is a current phenomenon in our population and health education to the parents and caregivers could prevent it.
