In addition to the expected effects of epilepsy on children, the course of the disease and the course of the child's life will change as the duration of life with the disease increases. In epilepsy, it is necessary to develop self-management behaviors in order to facilitate adaptation to the disease, to encourage seizure control and to increase the quality of life. Regular repetition of the trainings created within the framework of a certain plan to improve self-management behaviors is one of the recommended steps to strengthen the individual with chronic disease in the disease process. This randomized controlled study including aged 12-18 adolescents with a diagnosis of epilepsy, monotherapy, mental retardation without cerebral palsy, and no secondary disease and their parents. However, there isn't enough published research examining the effect of education program given to adolescents diagnosed with epilepsy and their parents based on Ryan and Sawin's individual and family self-management theory, on adolescents 'attitudes towards disease, self-efficacy, quality of life and parents' nurse-parent support levels.

Inclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria
Firstly the Child Introduction Form and Parent Information Form were applied. Then the Child's Attitude Towards Self-Disease Scale, Seizure Self-Efficacy Scale for Children, Quality of Life Scale for Children were filled to children. Nurse-Parent Support Scale were applied to the parents in the Pretest and Post Test data.
Time frame: First measurement - Before education programme (1st week)
The form consists of 15 questions that question the content dimension (risk factors specific to the disease, factors specific to the physical and social environment, individual and familial factors) and the process dimension concepts (disease-specific knowledge and beliefs, self-regulation, social facilitation).
Time frame: First measurement - Before education programme (1st week)
Child Attitude Toward Illness Scale was developed by Austin (1993) to measure the attitudes of children with chronic diseases towards their disease. The validity and reliability of the 13-item single-dimension scale was conducted by Ersun and Bolisik (2012) with children aged 9-17 years with epilepsy.
The average score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 1 and 5. The average score of 1 and 2 indicates negative attitude, 3 indicates neutral attitude, 4 and 5 indicate positive attitude.
Time frame: First measurement - Before education programme (1st week)
Seizure Self-efficacy Scale for Children was developed by Caplin et al. (2002) and adapted to Turkish by Tutar Güven and İşler Dalgıç (Tutar Güven and İsler 2015). It was conducted with children aged 9-18 years with epilepsy and the Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was 0.89. The scale consists of a single dimension with a 15-item five-point Likert structure and the scale items are scored between 1-5. indicates that it is.
Time frame: First measurement - Before education programme (1st week)
The Children's Quality of Life Scale was developed in 2001 by Varni et al. For adolescents aged 13-18. The internal consistency coefficient of the scale varies between 0.80-0.88. The Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted by Çakın Memik et al. In 2007 and the internal consistency coefficient was found to be 0.82. PedsQL, which is one of the general quality of life scales, is a quality of life scale suitable for use in both healthy and ill adolescents. It is a five-point Likert-type scale consisting of 23 items that determines the health-related quality of life of adolescents aged 13-18.
Time frame: First measurement - Before education programme (1st week)
This form was prepared by the researchers in line with the literature. In the form, the individual and self management theory consists of 15 questions regarding the concepts of content and process dimension.
Time frame: First measurement - Before education programme (1st week)
The Nurse Parent Support Scale, developed by Miles et al. (1999) and tested by Yigit et al in 2017, consists of 21 items in a five-point likert structure. There is no reverse item in the scale that measures perceived nurse support by parents. The scale consists of four sub-dimensions. The scale consists of four sub-dimensions. These; It consists of 21 items in total: "Information and Communication Support", "Emotional Support", "Respect Support", "Quality Care".
Time frame: Second measurement - After education programme (10th week)
