Summary

Seventy epilepsy patients who presented to Gaziosmanpaşa Training and Research Hospital as outpatients (diagnosed at least 3 months prior, taking at least one medication, and having access to the internet) were randomly assigned to two groups. 35 patients were assigned to the experimental group, and 35 patients to the control group. All patients were asked to complete a sociodemographic form, self-management form, medication adherence form, and stigma form as pre-tests. The experimental group was exposed to an epilepsy education podcast recorded by the researcher via Spotify. The control group received routine outpatient education provided by the doctor. The same tests were repeated at 1 and 3 months, and the effectiveness of the education was evaluated. Differences between the two groups and changes over time were monitored.
