The purpose of this study was to describe and compare patients', nurses' and physicians' perceptions of learning needs of persons with epilepsy. The study is based on adult learning theory which states that learning needs dictate receptivity to information and knowledge of learning needs can help structure teaching sessions. Study participants were recruited from patients attending epilepsy clinics, neuroscience nurses employed at study hospitals or working with neurologists or neurosurgeons and neurologists or neurosurgeons practicing in the state. The sample sizes were: 59 patients, 85 nurses and 38 physicians. Data were analyzed using frequencies, percent and analysis of variance. Data analysis revealed that patients, nurses and physicians similarly ranked major areas of learning needs. However, differences in the ranking of individual learning needs were noted between patients and health care providers. An understanding of the differences and similarities among the groups provides useful information for educational programs for epilepsy patients.
本研究的目的是描述和比较患者、护士及医生对癫痫患者学习需求的看法。该研究基于成人学习理论，该理论指出学习需求决定了对信息的接受程度，而了解学习需求有助于构建教学环节。研究参与者招募自癫痫诊所的患者、研究医院聘用的神经科学护士或与神经科医生或神经外科医生共事的护士，以及该州执业的神经科医生或神经外科医生。样本量分别为：59名患者、85名护士和38名医生。数据采用频数、百分比和方差分析进行分析。数据分析表明，患者、护士和医生对学习需求的主要领域排名相似。然而，患者与医疗服务提供者在个体学习需求的排名上存在差异。了解各群体之间的异同，可为癫痫患者的教育项目提供有用信息。
