Continuing Psychosocial Care Needs in Children With New-Onset Epilepsy and Their Parents
Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 11/05/09

Shore CP et al. – In children, more psychosocial care needs were associated with more negative attitudes toward having epilepsy. In parents, high psychosocial care needs were associated with a more negative impact on family life. A substantial number of parents and children have unmet psychosocial care needs that are associated with more negative child attitudes and a negative impact on family life, even 24 months after the onset of seizures. Nurses should assess both children and parents for these needs at every encounter with the healthcare system to address their needs.
