A Quasi-experimental study was conducted on 100 mothers who visited medical centers in Yazd province in 2023 to evaluate the level of awareness, attitude, and practice, with the results reported after the intervention using self-made questionnaires. Statistical tests such as the Kruskal-Wallis test, T -test, One-Way analysis of variance, and Mann-Whitney were used. A significance level of P P P P < .001). The mean score of attitude, practice, and awareness were increased by 2.98, 5.28, and 4.95, respectively, after the intervention. Based on the findings, it was observed that mothers have a moderate awareness of rheumatic fever (RF) despite the high burden, poor attitude, and practice. The results of the current study also demonstrate the influence of education in promoting positive practices. Effective training can have a positive impact on the awareness, attitudes, and practices of mothers
