About

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of the RehaCom Computer-Assisted Rehabilitation Program Applied to Epilepsy Patients on Self-Management, Cognitive Function and Quality of Life.

Full description

Modules designed to train cognitive abilities will be used under the supervision of a licensed researcher who is licensed to use the RehaCom application, which is a computer-assisted cognitive rehabilitation program. Researchers can select some modules based on each patient's specific deficits, meaning that deficits can be targeted and specifically trained. Since the program will respond to the patient's specific needs, the activity may become easier or more difficult depending on the patient's performance. Epilepsy patients will be encouraged by researchers during the exercises and will be able to give feedback on progress at the end of the session. After determining the appropriate time and day for each patient in the experimental group, the intervention will continue for 6 weeks with 45-minute sessions once a week.
