Abstract

Background: Caring for a child with epilepsy poses significant challenges for mothers, particularly when managing seizures and coping with stigma. Aim; This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-led interactive video education program in reducing internalized stigma and improving seizure first aid knowledge and practices among mothers of children with epilepsy. Methods: A quasi-experimental pre-post design was conducted with 105 mothers received a structured educational intervention consisting of four nurse-led sessions supported by interactive videos. Results: post-intervention findings revealed a significant improvement in epilepsy-related knowledge (Mean  SD: 11.20  3.10 to 16.45  2.5) and seizure first aid practices (10.75  3.20 to 15.90  2.70). Internalized stigma scores also declined significantly (34.10  6.80 to 26.30  5.90). Conclusion: The nurse-led interactive video education program was effective in enhancing seizure-related knowledge and practices while significantly reducing stigma among mothers of children with epilepsy. The findings support integrating such educational interventions into routine care to empower caregivers and promote safer home-based epilepsy management.ic ret
