Findings: Age average of subjects in intervention group and in control group was 26.75 and 26.84 years, respectively. The results showed significant increase in the knowledge (p< 0.001), attitude (p=0.04) and practice (p=0.01) in intervention group one month after intervention compared to those before intervention, while such increase was not seen in control group. Conclusion: This study confirmed the efficiency of educational interventions in improving mother's knowledge, attitude and practice regarding prevention of febrile seizure in children.
