Brief summary: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is applied in the childhood age group for many reasons such as hematological malignancies, immune deficiencies, hemoglobinopathies, bone marrow failures and congenital metabolic diseases. The transplantation process, which requires a long hospitalization process, is an experience that causes anxiety for the child and the caregiver.

Detailed description: It is known that during the home care process after discharge, parents experience anxiety because they are away from health professionals, and they need information and support in their care needs. This research has two purposes. 1; Developing a technology-supported home care education program (IBK-EBP) (supported by face-to-face education and mobile application) based on Human Theory of Care (IBK) for home care of children with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. 2; It is to determine the effect of IBK-EBP education program on parents' knowledge, self-efficacy, anxiety level and quality of life. The study was planned in a single-center, follow-up, double-blind, randomized controlled design. The research sample was planned to be composed of 40 parents, 20 of which were interventions and 20 of which were controls. The home care training program, which will be prepared with up-to-date information in line with the literature; It includes face-to-face training sessions and ensuring the continuity of education at home with the mobile application to be developed. The content of the home care training program to be prepared in this context; regulation of the home environment, compliance with treatment, food safety, personal hygiene and care, social environment, planning of school life and progressive relaxation exercises. As part of the training program, parents will be shown a CD of progressive relaxation exercises before the training. Research data will be collected by a nurse other than the researchers, who was not involved in the study. Research data will be collected using the "Parent and Child Identification Form", "Parent's Knowledge Level of Care Assessment Form", "General Self-Efficacy Scale", "Quality of Life Scale for Caregivers of Cancer Patients" and "Spielberger State and Trait Anxiety Inventory". With a technology-supported home care education program to be developed based on the Human Care Theory it is predicted that the knowledge, self-efficacy, quality of life of the parents will increase and the level of anxiety will decrease, by ensuring the ease and continuity of access to information.
