“…Regarding sex, more than half of the studied patients were male and this agreed with Jhussein and Qaderi (2002) [20] in their study about socio-demographic characteristics of adolescents with epilepsy, they found that the male to female ratio was 54:47. But this result didn't agree with Mohammed (2018) [21] who stated that more than half of the study group was females.…”

Background and objective: Adherence to medications is the backbone to effectiveness of a treatment. Adherence to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) is essential to prevent the risk of seizures recurrence. The aims were to study the effect of teaching strategies on adherence to antiepileptic drugs, recurrence of seizures, and identify factors affecting the adherence level among epileptic patients.Methods: Research design: Quasi-experimental design. Setting: Neurology Department at Neurological and Psychiatric Assiut University Hospital. Sample: A purposive sample of sixty male and female adult patients diagnosed with epilepsy. Tools: Tool I-Patient assessment sheet. Tool II-Morisky Medication Adherence Scale. Tool III-Liverpool Seizure Severity Scale.Results: There was a statistically significant difference between pre and post applying of teaching strategies as regard drug adherence and recurrence of seizures among epileptic patients (p < .001). Also, forgetfulness, side effects of medications, and absence of family or friend were the main factors of non- adherence to AEDs.Conclusions and recommendations: Teaching strategies had statistical significant effects on adherence to antiepileptic drugs and on reducing recurrence of seizures among epileptic patients. Simple educational pamphlet for epileptic patients and their family members to improve adherence to AEDs should be available in Neurology Department and Outpatient Neurology Clinics.

Epilepsy requires long-term treatment that interferes with individuals' social relationships. Because the effects of psychosocial burden and stigma perception on patients with epilepsy in Jordan have not been explored, the study assessed the relationship among psychosocial burden, stigma of epilepsy, and demographic variables. Subjects were adult patients with epilepsy ( N = 200) registered at hospital clinics. Two published instruments were used to measure outcomes. The participants in the study perceived the burden and stigma of epilepsy as moderate. A strong, positive correlation between psychosocial burden and stigma perception among participants was found. Stigma perception, employment, and education variables explained 31.6% of variation of the level of psychosocial burden. The results showed a relationship between stigma perception and psychosocial level, and this provides information that may assist health care providers in formulating strategic plans to improve the care, safety, and quality of life of patients with epilepsy in Jordan.
