The parents of the patients in the study group will get pre-discharge education. The clinic's routine will continue for the children in the control group, and they won't receive any training. The researcher will conduct a telephone consultation to assess the outcomes of the patients in both groups, as well as the parents' quality of life, anxiety, and stress levels.
