    Introduction: In mothers with fever complaint who applied to Duzce University Faculty of Medicine Research and Practice Hostipal, defining attitude and behaviours and general knowledge levels about fever are aimed in this study.Methods: 230 patients who were admitted to pediatric emergency service and general pediatric outpatient clinics from February to June 2017 were included in the study. Questionnaires with 26 questions were evaluated in this study. Descriptive features, chi-square test and one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s post-hoc comparisons tests were performed in all statistical analyzes.Results: It was learned that 79.1% of the mothers were placing the thermometers under the armpit during measurement. Most of the mothers picked the normal body temperature as 35.5-36.4 ° C (57.8%). 74.8% of the mothers considered fever as a disease and 98.7% of the mothers thought that fever was harmful. Most of the mothers were considering the advices of doctors on reducing fever of children (48.7%). The most common intervention to reduce fever was to shower with warm water (73.5%). The most preferred antipyretic was paracetamol (76.1%). As the education levels increased, rates of showering with warm water and taking out the children's clothes were increasing significantly (p=0.027, p=0.025, respectively). Conclusion: In this study, it was seen that the mother's general knowledge about fever was inadequate and there were occasionally wrong attitudes and behaviors in order to reduce fever. We think that detailed information about fever given to the families by physicians will prevent unnecessary applications in this area.

    Iron deficiency anemia in adolescent pregnancy: investigation of its effects and the related factors
    (Yusuf Haydar ERTEKİN, 2018) Basbug, Alper; Sonmez, Cemil İsik
    Introduction: Adolescent pregnancies and their maternal and fetal complications are a global health burden. Iron deficiency anemia is among the factors, which might contribute to these negative consequences. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the frequency of iron deficiency anemia among pregnant adolescents followed at the Düzce University Medical Faculty Hospital and to investigate its maternal and fetal effects. Methods: A total of 122 pregnant women under 19 years of age were included in this case-control study. The socio-economic characteristics, hematological status, and adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes possibly related to iron deficiency anemia were evaluated.Results: The incidence of anemia among the studied women was 29.5%, and 56.5% were receiving iron supplementation. Oral iron supplementation rate was 33.3% in the anemic group and 66.2% in the non-anemic group (p = 0.01). While the serum ferritin and hemoglobin levels were lower in the anemic group, iron binding capacity was lower in the non-anemic group, and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (p = 0.01, p = 0.01, and p = 0.02; respectively). Concerning adverse perinatal outcomes, preeclampsia was seen in 11.4% of the anemic group and 4.6% in the non-anemic group; the difference was statistically significant (p = 0.01). Conclusions: Iron deficiency anemia is a common problem in adolescent pregnancy. However, many anemic pregnant adolescents do not receive iron treatment. Positive effects on some maternal and perinatal outcomes can be achieved by administering iron supplementation to these women. Iron use should be increased to combat iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy.
