EXPERIMENTAL

* Mobile epilepsy training program will be introduced to the parents in the application group and pre-tests (Parent Epilepsy Knowledge Scale for Parents and Parental Anxiety Scale for Seizures Scale). * The participants will only use the mobile epilepsy training program application. * Parents in the application group will be monitored for 3 months using the mobile epilepsy training program. The researcher will follow the participants' use of the mobile application with the interface of the mobile epilepsy training program. During the monitoring phase, the Epilepsy Information Questions screen will be given once every 15 days, and the training module will be reopened automatically on missing or incorrect answers and the parent's information on this subject will be renewed. \- At the end of the 3rd month, posttests (Parent Epilepsy Knowledge Scale for Parents and Parental Anxiety Scale for Seizures Scale) will be applied face-to-face.

Other: implementation of mobile epilepsy training program

In the control group

NO INTERVENTION

\- The purpose of the project will be shared with the parents in the control group, and the pre-tests Parent Epilepsy Knowledge Scale for Parents and Parental Anxiety Scale for Seizures Scale). will be applied. There is no structured training program in the outpatient functioning. Routine practice of the hospital; is the education and information provided by the physician to the family during the outpatient clinic. * At the end of the 3rd month, the final tests (Parent Epilepsy Knowledge Scale for Parents and Parental Anxiety Scale for Seizures Scale). will be applied face to face. * After the work is completed, the mobile application will be installed on the phones of the control group, the application will be taught and applied.

Interventions
