This study reports the results of a questionnaire designed specifically to define doctors' perspectives of epilepsy. Sixty-two percent of the registered junior medical staff of a major Australian teaching hospital responded to a questionnaire that established information regarding doctor identification, cognition concerning epilepsy and its management, and doctors' attitudes. The results gave evidence of a lack of knowledge regarding epilepsy and its management, as well as a lack of ability to maintain critical evaluation of new material. Many of the negative attitudes about people with epilepsy that have been identified within the general community were also found within the medical profession. This study determined that there is a real need to reappraise the approach to teaching the medical profession about epilepsy.
本研究报告了一份专门设计用于明确医生对癫痫看法的调查问卷结果。澳大利亚一家大型教学医院62%的注册初级医务人员对一份调查问卷做出了回应，该问卷收集了有关医生身份识别、对癫痫及其治疗的认知以及医生态度等方面的信息。结果表明，医生们对癫痫及其治疗缺乏了解，也缺乏对新材料进行批判性评估的能力。在普通人群中发现的许多对癫痫患者的负面态度在医学界也同样存在。这项研究确定，确实有必要重新评估向医学界传授癫痫知识的方式。
