Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD)
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) The scale is a four-point Likert-type assessment tool, and the scores of its items range from 0 to 3. However, each item is scored differently; items 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, and 13 show decreasing severity and are scored as 3, 2, 1, 0. On the other hand, items 2, 4, 7, 9, 12, and 14 are scored as 0, 1, 2, 3. The total scores of the subscales are obtained by adding the scores of these items. For the anxiety subscale, items 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 are added; for the depression subscale, items 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 are added.

Febrile Convulsion Knowledge Scale
Febrile Convulsion Knowledge Scale for Parents/Caregivers: In the febrile convulsion knowledge scale, items 1 and 4 are correct statements and the other items are incorrect statements. Incorrect statements should be reversed and calculated when scoring. The total score of the scale varies between 8 and 40, and higher scores indicate that parents/caregivers have more knowledge about febrile convulsions.
