Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Study of Patient’s Caregiver in Usage of Antiepileptics in Their Children with Epilepsy

Author(s) Caroline J, Laigin Sebastian

Abstract Seizures are transient occurrences of abnormal, excessive, or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain, characterized by abrupt and involuntary skeletal muscle activity. Epilepsy is a major public health concern, characterized by aberrant neuronal discharges or hyperexcitability of neurons with synchronization. A study was conducted to assess knowledge, attitude, and practice of patient's caregivers on the usage of antiepileptics in children with epilepsy. The study found that 77% of respondents knew about epilepsy as a brain disorder, while 57% were aware of all treatment options. The study also found that parents had comparatively adequate knowledge of epilepsy and Antiepileptic Drugs (AEDs), but knowledge was negatively correlated with attitudes and practice of parents with university level education. Special education programs for parents of children with epilepsy may be required to close knowledge gaps in epilepsy care and ensure compliance and optimal therapeutic outcomes.
