characterized by recurrent seizures due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. These episodes
may result in involuntary muscle movements and temporary loss of consciousness. Managing
epilepsy requires both medical treatment and active caregiver involvement. The aim of the study
was to evaluate the effect of continuous care model in enhancing self-care practices and self
efficacy among children diagnosed with epilepsy.Design: A quasi-experimental design with pre
intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up phases was adopted.Setting: This study was carried

marked enhancements in self-care behaviors and self-efficacy. Statistical analysis revealed there
was a highly statistically significant positive correlations among mothers’ knowledge, practices,
and children’s self-efficacy and self-management scores regarding to epilepsy thorough of
continuous care model implementation phases.. Conclusion: The continuous care model proved to
