Overview
Brief Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-led program (simulation-based education and educational booklet) in improving self-efficacy among caregivers of children with seizures at a tertiary care institute in Western Rajasthan.
The primary hypothesis is that caregivers who undergo the nurse-led program will demonstrate a significant improvement in self-efficacy scores (measured by the KidSIM-ASPIRE Parent Seizure Self-Efficacy Questionnaire) compared to those receiving routine discharge instructions.
Secondary objectives include examining the association between caregivers’ demographic variables and their self-efficacy scores.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Improvement in self-efficacy of caregivers in managing seizures, measured using the KidSIM-ASPIRE Parent Seizure Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (pre-test vs. post-test in experimental and control groups).
Time Frame: Baseline (Pre-test) | Before the intervention, both experimental and control groups will complete the KidSIM-ASPIRE Parent Seizure Self-Efficacy Questionnaire. | Intervention Phase | Experimental group: Receives nurse-led program (simulation-based education + booklet, ~40–45 minutes). | Control group: Receives routine discharge instructions. | Post-test | After 1 week of intervention, self-efficacy will be reassessed in both groups using the same tool.
Secondary Outcomes
- Association between demographic variables and self-efficacy(Baseline (pre-test, before intervention))
