Psychometric Testing Designed to Assess the Knowledge, Healthcare Awareness and Perceptions about Epilepsy among College Students.

Psychometric testings for epilepsy awareness among college students.

Epilepsy is characterized by recurrent seizures, which are brief episodes of involuntary movement that may involve a part of the body or the entire body. This study aims at estimating the level of knowledge, healthcare awareness and perceptions about epilepsy among students undergoing their bachelor’s degree courses in nursing and healthcare field, in College of Nursing, King Saud University, Riyadh. Some simple and basic informative literature on epilepsy were developed and also a questionnaire comprising of some basic questions related with epilepsy were developed. Our target students (121) were randomly divided into two groups A and B. Group A (61 students) served as the control group that were tested with the questionnaire at random without any pre-information about epilepsy. Group B (60 students) were distributed with some basic information facts about epilepsy and the class instructor briefly explained the basic facts about epilepsy to them. Thereafter, the students were tested with same questionnaire as in Group A. Data were tested by ANOVA (one way analysis) to look into for a significance (p<0.05) between Group A and B. Students of Group B responded to each question in the questionnaire in a significant (p<0.05) manner as compared to Group A. The present study evidently supports the need of educating the masses about epilepsy and imparting awareness about the misunderstandings of this neural condition which may improve the quality of life of the people with epilepsy.
