“…Karabulut et al29 reported that they would apply artificial respiration or cardiac massage as a first-aid intervention during an epileptic seizure, 22.2% thereof reported that they would try to open the clenched jaws of the patient, and 34.8% reported that they would try to block the seizures. Findings of this research indicate that public awareness of the knowledge and practices related to epilepsy should be improved/ supported particularly in order to avoid the possible harm/injuries to be caused by the first-aid interventions, which will be applied to the patient during an epileptic seizure.…”

Objective: The aim of the research was to assess the attitudes of the public toward epilepsy and their level of knowledge in first aid. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between July 2021 and January 2022, with 1102 individuals who applied to outpatient clinics in a hospital located in the city center of Erzincan (a province located in the eastern Turkey) and agreed to participate in the study. Research data were collected using a Socio-demographic Variables Questionnaire and Public Attitudes Toward Epilepsy Scale. Number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Bonferroni test, and Tukey test were used to evaluate the data. Results:The mean total score of the participants on the Public Attitudes Toward Epilepsy scale was 55.28 ± 9.81. When asked about the seizure first-aid interventions to be applied for an epileptic patient, 61.9% of the participants responded that they would hold the legs and arms for restricting the patient's movements and try to open the clenched hands and jaws, whereas 57.6% said that they would apply artificial respiration or cardiac massage. Conclusion: Majority of the individuals participating in the study were found to have exhibited negative attitudes toward epilepsy (55.28 ± 9.81), and these individuals were found to refer to incorrect interventions that would rather deteriorate the current status of the patient for first-aid purposes. In order to protect and improve health, it can be suggested to increase the awareness of the society on first-aid practices for epilepsy. Keywords: Community, epilepsy attitude, first aid METHODS Research DesignThe research was structured with a descriptive and cross-sectional design. Population and Sample of the ResearchIndividuals aged 18 years and older, who are admitted to the outpatient clinics of a hospital located in the center of Erzincan province in the east of Turkey for any reason, comprised the population of the research.
