Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
A personal information form will be filled out regarding the descriptive information of the parents in the experimental and control groups. (Personal information form)	Day 1 and up to study completion, average 9 weeks".	The diagnostic form to be used in collecting research data was created by the researcher in line with the relevant literature. The Personal Information Form includes questions to determine the socio-demographic status of the parents.
A self-efficacy scale will be applied to determine the self-efficacy levels of parents. (Parent self-efficacy scale)	Day 1 and up to study completion, average 9 weeks	This scale, developed by Guimond et al. and adapted to Turkish by Diken, is an assessment tool for measuring mothers' and fathers' perceptions of self-efficacy in parenting. The scale consists of 17 items in total and is based on a seven-point Likert-type rating system. Parents respond to statements indicating their perceptions of self-efficacy by marking the appropriate option from the following: (1) "Strongly Disagree", (2) "Disagree", (3) "Partially Disagree", (4) "Undecided", (5) "Partially Agree", (6) "Agree", (7) "Strongly Agree". The lowest and highest scores that can be obtained from this scale are 17 and 119, respectively. As the score increases, the positive increase in parents' perceptions of self-efficacy becomes more apparent.
With this scale, the care burden of parents will be evaluated. (Zarit caregiver load scale)	Day 1 and up to study completion, average 9 weeks	The Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale was initially developed in 1980 to assess the difficulties faced by caregivers of patients with dementia. Later, the scale was also used to evaluate the challenges faced by caregivers of individuals with schizophrenia. The Turkish version of the scale was translated by Özlü and colleagues, and a validity and reliability study was conducted with the relatives of patients with schizophrenia.; The Turkish version consists of 19 items and is structured around five sub-dimensions: psychological distress, disruption of personal life, irritability and restriction, social relationship deterioration, financial burden, and dependency. These sub-dimensions help to assess the various difficulties experienced by caregivers in more detail. The scale is rated on a Likert-type scale with responses ranging from "never," "rarely," "sometimes," "often," to "almost always," with scores ranging from 1 to 5.; The Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale is very useful in determining th
In the study, the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Scale will be used to determine parents' emotion regulation. (Cognitive Emotion Regulation Scale)	Day 1 and up to study completion, average 9 weeks	This scale was developed to measure the emotion regulation skills of adults. A statistically significant relationship (r=-572) was obtained between the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Scale and the Negative Emotion Scale. Cronbach Alpha, item-total, item-remaining, item discrimination and test-retest methods were used within the scope of reliability studies. It was observed that the item-total correlation values of the scale varied between '.188' and '.468', and the item-remaining correlation values varied between '.104' and '.392'. As a result of the item discrimination analysis, it was concluded that each item had a high discrimination feature. The scale has nine sub-dimensions. These are: 1. Self-blame; 2. Acceptance; 3. Focus on thought; 4. Positive refocusing; 5. Refocusing on plan; 6. Positive reconsideration; 7. Putting into perspective; 8. Catastrophizing; 9. Blaming others
