Methods: This clinical trial was undertaken on 60 mothers with epileptic children. Thirty mothers with epileptic children participated in family-centered empowerment sessions and 30 mothers with epileptic children served as the control group. Personal information form and quality of life questionnaire were administered at baseline and 75 days after intervention. In order to analyze data, chi-square test, independent t-test, paired t-test, and covariance were used accordingly. Results: The quality of life between the two groups was not significantly different at the beginning of the study, but it was significantly different 75 days after the onset of the empowerment program. In other words, the family-centered empowerment program had a significantly positive impact on the quality of life of mothers with epileptic children (P = 0.03).
