Abstract

Objective: Sufficient information should be given to parents who have children with recurrent seizures about the approach to seizures outside the hospital. This study was aimed to identify the approach of the parents towards children with recurrent febrile seizures and epilepsy, and their requirements about management of seizures outside the hospital.Methods: This study has been conducted between September 2014 and February 2015 using an interview questionnaire with the parents of the children who were admitted to the pediatric neurology outpatient clinic with a history of seizure. Results: The study included 223 (79.6%) cases with epilepsy, and 57 (20.4%) patients (total n=280) who received diagnosis of recurrent febrile seizures. A total of 194 (69.3%) parents said that they received oral information regarding the management of seizures. The most often app-lication during seizures in 26.8% (n=75) of the cases was positioning the patient. Rectal administ-ration of diazepam was the most common intervention for prolonged seizure in 120 (42.8%) cases, however in 160 cases it was not applied for various reasons. Frequency of rectal administ-ration of the drugs was found to be associated with income level and the longer follow-up period (p-values of 0.029 and 0.037, respectively). It was detected that with the higher education and income levels, frequency of recommended correct applications significantly increased Conclusion: As a result of the study, it was found that the parents who have children with recur-rent seizures have false and insufficient information about seizure management at home. Therefore parents should be given regular training about management of seizures.

Özet

Amaç: Yineleyen nöbetleri olan çocuklarda ebeveynlere hastane dışında nöbete yaklaşım ile ilgili yeterli bilgi verilmelidir. Bu çalışmada, epilepsi ve yineleyen febril konvulsiyonlu olguların aileleri ile görüşülerek hastane dışında nöbet geçirmesi durumunda nöbet geçiren çocuğa karşı yaklaşımları ve ailelerin nöbet yönetimi konusunda gereksinimlerini saptamak amaçlandı.Yöntemler: Bu çalışma, Eylül 2014 ve Şubat 2015 tarihleri arasında Çocuk Nöroloji Polikliniğine başvuran, yineleyen nöbet öyküsü olan 280 çocuğun aileleri ile anket formu üzerinden görüşülerek yapıldı.Bulgular: Çalışmaya 223 (%79,6)'ü epilepsi, 57 (%20,4)'si yineleyen febril konvulsiyon tanısı olan 280 olgu alındı. Ebeveynlerin 194 (%69,3)'ü nöbet sırasında müdahale ile ilgili yazılı olmayan bilgi aldığını belirtti. Nöbet sırasında evde en sık yapılan ilk uygulama olguların %26,8 (n=75) ile pozisyon verme şeklindeydi. Nöbetin uzaması durumunda rektal diazepam uygulaması olguların 120 (%42,8)'sinde yapılırken 160 olguda çeşitli nedenlerle uygulanmadığı belirtildi. Rektal ilaç uygulama oranı gelir düzeyinin artması ve hastalık takip süresinin uzun olması ile ilişkili bulundu (p değeri sırasıyla 0,029 ve 0,037). Nöbet sırasında yapılması önerilen doğru uygulamaların gelir ve öğrenim düzeyi ile anlamlı oranda artış gösterdiği saptandı.Sonuç: Yineleyen nöbeti olan çocukların ebeveynlerinin nöbet kontrolü konusunda yetersiz, yanlış bilgi ve ilk yardım pratiğine sahip oldukları saptanmıştır. Bu nedenle ebeveynlerin nöbet yönetimi ile ilgili düzenli bir eğitime tabi tutulma gerekliliği görülmüştür
