Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
EPI-TAVIE	EPI-TAVIE	Patients assigned to this arm will be invited to complete a web-based nursing intervention called EPI-TAVIE.
Websites	Websites	Patients assigned to this arm will be invited to consult a validated list of predetermined conventional websites.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Self-management	3 months	Self-management will be measured with the Epilepsy Self-Management Scale (Dilorio et al., 1994). The scale is composed of 38 items that assess the degree to which people perform tasks to manage their epilepsy. It is composed of five subscales: medication management, information management, seizure management, safety management and lifestyle management.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Acceptability of the intervention	1 month	Acceptability will be evaluated through a self-administered questionnaire composed of items regarding satisfaction with the approach, convenience of use, ease of understanding, relevance, dosage and overall appreciation (Côté et al., 2012).
Feasibility of the intervention	1 month	Feasibility will be assessed by an evaluation of exposition to intervention: for each participants, the number of page viewed will be recorded. Fidelity to the intervention structure will be obtained by comparing the projected number of pages view to the number of viewed pages, thus addressing its feasibility.
