Abstract

Objectives: Relatives of epilepsy patients tend to intervene their patients during epileptic seizure with an intention to help them. Usually not based on a medical knowledge, these behaviors may harm the patient rather than providing benefit. This study aimed to investigate interventional behaviors to the seizure to build a base for informing epilepsy patients and their relatives.
