Our aim was to investigate epilepsy-related knowledge, behavior, perceptions, and attitudes of people with epilepsy, their relatives, and a control group (390 participants in total) at the State Hospital Neurology Clinic, Yuksekova City, Turkey.
The Survey of Epileptic Patient Relatives on the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behavior Regarding the Disorder was used and included questions about descriptive characteristics, familiarity with epilepsy, attitudes toward epilepsy, and understanding of epilepsy. Data on SPSS 15.0 software were analyzed with the χ(2) test.
Patients (95.3%), their relatives (89.2%), and controls (63.3%) felt primarily fear when they heard the diagnosis of epilepsy. Most participants would not let their child marry a person with epilepsy, with no statistically significant difference between groups (P>0.05). Patients (66.7%) and relatives (70%) saw no problem in people with epilepsy having children; there was a statistically significant difference between groups on this point because of the control group's response (31.5%) (P<0.05).
Patients and relatives showed similar attitudes and behaviors, perhaps because they had common information and experience regarding the disorder.
我们旨在调查土耳其 Yuksekova 市州立医院神经科诊所的癫痫患者、其亲属和对照组（共 390 名参与者）的癫痫相关知识、行为、认知和态度。
使用了《癫痫患者亲属对该疾病的知识、态度和行为调查》，其中包括关于描述性特征、对癫痫的熟悉程度、对癫痫的态度以及对癫痫的理解的问题。数据使用 SPSS 15.0 软件进行分析，采用卡方检验。
患者（95.3%）、其亲属（89.2%）和对照组（63.3%）在听到癫痫诊断时主要感到恐惧。大多数参与者不会让自己的孩子与癫痫患者结婚，各组之间无统计学差异（P>0.05）。患者（66.7%）和亲属（70%）认为癫痫患者生育子女没有问题；由于对照组的回答（31.5%），这一点在组间存在统计学差异（P<0.05）。
患者和亲属表现出相似的态度和行为，这可能是因为他们对该疾病有共同的信息和经验。
