The link of the first two training videos was sent to the smartphones of the participants at the same time. Parents are explained how to access the videos from the link. Afterwards, other training videos, prepared once a week and as 2 videos, were sent to the parents' smartphones on a regular basis. After the procedure; Participants were contacted by phone 2 weeks after the last videos were watched. They were asked to fill out and send the questionnaire and scale online sent to their phones.

Other: video education

Model Details: Simple random sampling method was used in the study. Parents who met the research inclusion criteria were assigned to the groups by drawing lots. In the lottery method, first of all, the control and intervention groups were written by the researcher on 1st paste and 80 g/m2 A4 papers of 4x4 cm size and the papers were placed in a bag that is invisible. Then, when the first parent who met the criteria for inclusion in the emergency room came, any nurse working in the service other than the researcher was asked to choose a paper from the bag (by blinding). If a control group is written on the paper, it is assigned to the parent control group, and if it is written as an intervention group, it is assigned to the parent intervention group. When the second parent who met the criteria for inclusion in the emergency department came, lots were not drawn, and the parent was assigned to the other group. The same procedure was repeated for all subsequent participants.
