Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the training given to the teachers of children with intellectual disabilities with the "Epilepsy Management at School Mobile Health Application" and the "Digital Epilepsy Education Guide" on teachers' epilepsy knowledge, attitudes, and self management levels. This study was planned in a pretest, posttest design, follow-up, randomized controlled study. The sample of the study will consist of 90 teachers. Intervention-1 (Epilepsy Management at School Mobile Health Application, n=30), intervention-2 (Digital Epilepsy Education Guide, n=30) and control group (group without any intervention, n=30) will be included in the study. The data collection tools to be used in the research will be applied to all three groups at the same time intervals (T0: Just before the application phase of the research, T1: 15 days after the application, T2: one month after the application). The data will be collected using the Personal Information Form, the Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Epilepsy Among School Teachers Scale, and the Epilepsy Self-Management Scale for Teachers. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 25.0 package program will be used in the analysis of the data.
