The effects of self-management education and support on self-efficacy, self-esteem, and quality of life among patients with epilepsy

It is characterized by recurrent seizures, i.e., short periods of involuntary movements of some or all parts of the body, which are sometimes associated with the loss of consciousness and loss of bowel or bladder control [2, 3]. The estimated ratio of patients with epilepsy (PWE) at a specific point in time is 4 –10 per 1000 population, and approximately 75% of PWE live in developing countries [4]. The prevalence of epilepsy is also high in Iran and is reported to be 5% [5].
