The purpose of this study was to determine whether patients with epilepsy treated in outpatient settings would prefer to receive information about epilepsy and its treatment from physicians, nurses or other health care professionals. A second purpose of this study was to determine which health care professionals physicians and nurses believe are able to teach patients about epilepsy. Participants in this study included 59 persons with epilepsy, 73 nurses caring for people with epilepsy, and 38 neurologists and neurosurgeons. Results indicated that people with epilepsy generally prefer physicians to teach about epilepsy and its treatment. Nurses received the most responses about teaching general lifestyle information. Nurses and physicians provided very similar responses to inquiries about which health care professionals were able to teach information about epilepsy. Nurse and physician participants agreed that nurses are the preferred provider of information related to psychological concerns of patients and physicians are the preferred provider of information about the cause and treatment of epilepsy.
本研究的目的是确定在门诊接受治疗的癫痫患者是否更愿意从医生、护士或其他医疗保健专业人员那里获取有关癫痫及其治疗的信息。本研究的第二个目的是确定医生和护士认为哪些医疗保健专业人员能够向患者传授有关癫痫的知识。本研究的参与者包括59名癫痫患者、73名护理癫痫患者的护士以及38名神经科医生和神经外科医生。结果表明，癫痫患者通常更希望由医生来讲解癫痫及其治疗方法。在关于传授一般生活方式信息方面，护士收到的回应最多。在关于哪些医疗保健专业人员能够传授有关癫痫的信息的询问中，护士和医生给出了非常相似的回答。护士和医生参与者一致认为，护士是患者心理问题相关信息的首选提供者，而医生是癫痫病因和治疗信息的首选提供者。
