| Background: Epistaxis is acute bleeding from the nasal cavity or nasopharynx. A nosebleed is a relatively common and usually self-limited occurrence in childhood. However, profuse or recurrent epistaxis can be extremely distressing to children and parents.

Research design: A quasi-experimental design was utilized in the current study.

A structured interview questionnaire sheet consisted of 3 parts, part one: Mothers characteristics, part two: Children characteristics and part three: Mother’s knowledge towards epistaxis. II. Mother’s attitude towards epistaxis and III. Mother’s reported practice regarding epistaxis.
