Knowledge and beliefs about epilepsy in mothers of children with epilepsy: a view from a developing country
1Department of Psychiatry Medical School, Avondale, Harare, Zimbabwe.
Twenty two mothers of children with epilepsy attending an EEG department were interviewed using a semi-structured interview schedule examining knowledge about epilepsy, attitudes towards their children and the pathways to treatment. The overwhelming impression is of a lack knowledge and uncertainty in the mothers about the condition. This is discussed in terms of effects on treatment and health educational programmes.
