Clinical Trial Summary

This randomised controlled study evaluates the effect of a training programme based on the Health Promotion Model developed for parents of children diagnosed with epilepsy on parents' level of knowledge about epilepsy, parents' general self-efficacy level, parents' health promoting and protective behaviours and the number of hospital admissions of their children. The hypothesis of this study is that education has an effect on these.


Clinical Trial Description

In the study, 76 parents will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. Participants in the intervention group (n = 36) will be administered the Epilepsy Education Programme based on Pender's Health Promotion Model by the researcher and will be given the education booklet developed by the researcher in line with the literature. The training topics of the intervention programme are: General information about epilepsy, seizure moment management, management of antiepileptic drug treatments, controlling the factors that may trigger seizures, and recommendations to parents about health promoting and protective behaviours. In the training, learning and teaching techniques such as presentation, video demonstration, question and answer sections, lecture and discussion will be applied. The training will last approximately one hour. The control group (n=36) will not receive any intervention and will only receive the training booklet used in a thesis study published in the past. From the parents who will participate in the study: 'Parent and Child Introductory Information Form', 'Form for Evaluating Parents' Level of Knowledge about Epilepsy", "General Self-Efficacy Scale", "Health Promoting and Protective Behaviours Scale' tools and "Form for Evaluating the Number of Hospital Admissions' by using Mersin University Hospital records to evaluate the frequency of hospital admission. Form for Evaluating Parents' Level of Knowledge about Epilepsy was developed by the researcher in line with the literature since there is no Turkish validity and reliability scale to measure the general knowledge levels of parents with children diagnosed with epilepsy about epilepsy in children. Both intervention and control groups will be pre-tested before the training. Post-tests will be performed immediately after the intervention and at the 3rd month. ;
