Evaluation of a web-based virtual nursing intervention to support self-management among adults with epilepsy: A mixed-methods study.

Objective: A web-based intervention was developed to support epilepsy self-management. A mixed methods study was undertaken to evaluate the intervention's extent of utilization, acceptability and preliminary effects, and to assess user perception of it.

Methods: First, a pilot parallel-group randomized controlled trial was conducted with a convenience sample of 75 adult with epilepsy who had Internet access allocated on a 1:1 ratio into an experimental group that received the intervention (experimental group (EG), n = 37) and a control group invited to consult epilepsy-related websites (control group (CG), n = 38).
