Brief summary: This study aims to evaluate the effect of tele-education given to parents of children with ventriculoperitoneal shunt on their anxiety and self-efficacy.

Detailed description: This study aims to evaluate the effect of tele-education given to parents of children with ventriculoperitoneal shunt on their anxiety and self-efficacy. The type of research was planned as a prospective, randomized controlled experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group. The research will be conducted online with the parents of children with ventriküloperitoneal shunts at Pamukkale University Hospital. The data of the research will be collected between March 2024 and February 2025. In data collection, a personal information form will be used to determine the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants, a parent knowledge test will be used to evaluate their knowledge levels, and the General Self-Efficacy Scale and State and Trait Anxiety Scale will be used to evaluate the dependent variables. It was determined that 60 parents should participate in the study, 30 for the experimental group and 30 for the control group. As the randomization method, "simple randomization" will be used to ensure an equal number of samples in the experimental and control groups. Randomization will be done using the www.randomizer.org application. The data will be analyzed with the SPSS (23.0) package program. Continuous variables will be given as mean ± standard deviation and categorical variables will be given as number and percentage. Significance Test of Difference Between Two Means in comparing independent group differences when parametric test assumptions are met; When parametric test assumptions are not met, Mann-Whitney U test will be used to compare independent group differences.
