On Feb. 2025, Dr. Hussein Hallak in collaboration with Ph.D. student in Public Health Abeer Ghanayem published a new article in Epilepsy & Behavior titled Epilepsy management in primary healthcare: Knowledge, attitudes, and practices among health professionals in Palestine.
Primary healthcare practitioners play a key role in the comprehensive care of epilepsy. People with epilepsy require suitable guidance for self-management to enhance their health and well-being. The aim was to evaluate knowledge, attitudes, and practices about epilepsy management among the primary healthcare professionals.
Cross-sectional quantitative research was employed. Healthcare professionals working in primary healthcare clinics completed an online, self-administered questionnaire
Three hundred valid questionnaires were analyzed. Findings indicate gaps in epilepsy knowledge, attitudes, and practices. The study underscores the need for comprehensive training initiatives in Palestine to enhance epilepsy management in primary healthcare settings.
