Abstract
BackgroundThe knowledge and attitudes of military nurses are important for the quality of care of the individuals they care for. AimThis descriptive study aimed to determine the knowledge and attitudes of military nurses towards epilepsy. MethodAn introductory information form, an epilepsy knowledge scale, and an epilepsy attitude scale were used to collect data from 115 military nurses through social media. ResultsThe average score of the epilepsy knowledge scale was 14.04 ± 2.25, and that of the epilepsy attitude scale was 57.23 ± 4.39. While education, marital status, and having a relatives who are patients with epilepsy (PWE) did not affect knowledge and attitudes, encountering an epileptic seizure affected attitudes. ConclusionThe knowledge of military nurses regarding epilepsy was high, and their attitudes towards the illness were positive.
