A total of 20 participants were included in the experimental and 19 in the control group A criterion sampling method was employed. Independent samples t -test results revealed no significant difference between the mean pre-test scores of the experimental group (X̄ = 11.25) and the control group (X̄ = 12.42) on the knowledge level of parents at the pre-test ( t = .973, p>.05). At the post-test stage, with the experimental group scoring significantly higher (X̄ = 24.22) compared to the control group (X̄ = 12.64) at the post-test ( t = 8.07, p<.05). The effect size was determined as 2.58.
