Despite this expectation, paediatric fever often sparks fear and anxiety amongst parents. Existing research has primarily focused on measuring parental deficits, so a more in\u2010depth exploration is helpful to understand the complexities of caring for a febrile child.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>Qualitative descriptive study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Purposive sampling of <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a015 parents from a paediatric emergency department presenting with a febrile child. Semi\u2010structured interviews were conducted in\u2010person or via telephone. Thematic analysis was used to understand the data in the light of our research question. Reporting follows the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research checklist.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We found themes of (a) parental confidence through caregiving tasks, (b) emergent feelings of inadequacy, (i) referrals and limitations of community practice, (c) information needs and (d) information sources. Whereas parents were initially confident accessing information, providing care, making decisions and managing symptoms, new signs\/symptoms sparked a change in parents\u2019 emotions, coping and behaviour. Parents routinely search for information about paediatric fever and value reliable, accessible resources.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our findings highlight parents\u2019 strengths assessing fever and effectively managing symptoms.
