“…So, this indicates the need to carry out a periodic nursing intervention about the disease at least every six months to guarantee that the mothers' practices are still good to deal with such children. This finding was matched with that of Abusaad & El-Wehedy (2016) [40] , who found a slight decrease in the level of knowledge after six months of the educational sessions.…”

Background: High levels of knowledge, and practice among mothers could support the needs of their children with epilepsy and intellectual disability. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of nursing intervention program on improving mothers' knowledge, practice, and attitudes toward management of their children with epilepsy and intellectual disability. A quasi-experimental design was applied in current study. A purposive sample composed of 71 mothers was recruited from three intellectual disability schools in Sharkia Governorate. Three tools were used: Tool (I): Mother's knowledge about their children with epilepsy and intellectual disability. Tool (II): Mother's practice observation checklist about their children with epilepsy and intellectual disability. Tool (III): Mother's attitudes scale about their children with epilepsy and intellectual disability scale. Results: The majority of the mothers surveyed were married. Additionally, statistically significant increases in the mother's knowledge, practice, and attitudes were observed between pre-and post-sessions, with the total knowledge satisfied increasing from 2.8 % pre-to 100 % post-intervention and follow-up. The total positive attitudes increased from 56.3% in pre intervention, to 100% in post intervention and at follow up. Highly significant difference between scores of before fit, during fit, emergency, and after fit at pre, post-and follow-up at p<0.001. Conclusion: Current study revealed that the intervention efficiently improved mother's knowledge, attitude, and practice of epilepsy. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers should be equipped with all the necessary knowledge regarding children with epilepsy and intellectual disability either through a vast media campaign or by qualified health professionals.

“…Notably, the effect of selfmanagement training on medication adherence among epilepsy patients has been studied in previous studies and review studies, reporting that self-management behaviors are associated with medication intake in epileptic patients. It was demonstrated that these can increase their medication intake and consequently reduce seizures (11,12,30,(33)(34)(35). However, the 5A self-management model on medication adherence of epileptic patients has been investigated in no studies so far.…”

Background: Adherence to medication adherence plays a vital role in controlling the problems and complications of epilepsy. During the COVID – 19 pandemic and limitations of face-to-face education, the use of distance education can play an important role in providing education to patients. Therefore, the aim of this study is the effect of model 5A self-management training on medication adherence in epileptic patients.Methods: In this single-blind randomized controlled trial, 56 epilepsy patients referred to Shiraz Namazi Hospital were divided into intervention and control groups using random allocation. Thereafter, 5A self - management training sessions were virtually held in 5 sessions in WhatsApp application for intervention group. The data collection tool was Morisky medication adherence scale at two stages of before and two months after intervention. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 21 software.Results: The results of Wilcoxon test showed that in intervention group, the mean drug adherence in patients after intervention significantly increased compared to before intervention (p = 0.005). But in control group, this was not significant (p = 0.909). According to results of Mann-Whitney test, there was no significant difference between intervention and control groups before intervention (p = 0.632). However, by passing two months from intervention, a significant difference was found between intervention and control groups (p = 0.041).Conclusion: Based on results, the implementation of Model 5A can be effective on medication adherence in epilepsy patients. This program can be considered as a suitable method in epileptic patients in during COVID – 19 pandemic.
