A total of 60 participants and 120 parents (60 mothers and 60 fathers) provided consent to participate in the study, and the 60 participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n = 30) or control (n = 30). Randomization and implementation were conducted by trained general nurses. Randomization was followed using computer-generated random numbers (In each group, six participants dropped out: six patients in the intervention group had withdrawn during the study, and six in the control group were excluded because they did not participate in the follow-up period (The participants in the intervention group engaged in the salutogenesis program for 7 weeks. The control group received one-on-one education on moyamoya disease in accordance with the existing disease clinic policy.

The training took about 15 to 20 min, and after the training, a booklet containing the contents of the training was provided.The preliminary survey was conducted for the intervention group before the program was carried out. The post-intervention survey was conducted face-to-face after all the sessions were completed. A face-to-face survey was conducted 7 weeks after the pre-test in the control group before implementing the normal one-on-one moyamoya disease education program.
