Effect of education based on "precede-proceed" model on knowledge, attitude and behavior of epilepsy patients

Introduction: The current research was to determine the effects of education based on framework of precede- proceed model on the knowledge, attitude and behavior of epilepsy patients. Method: In this quasi-experimental study, 64 patients with grand-mal epilepsy based on inclusion criteria were randomly divided into case & control groups. Education interference was performed based on precede-proceed model as framework of the planning for patientsʹ education in case group. Data accumulation instrument was a questionnaire constructed by researcher that contained demographics and hygienic qualification of patients and precede-proceed model parts. Data was accumulated by questionnaire filling during organized interviews with selected samples two times before and two months after educational interference. Results: The mean scores of the predisposing factors including knowledge, attitude, behaviors and also reinforcing factors increased significantly in case group compared to control group following the intervention (p<0.05); but there was no significant difference between case and control groups in mean scores of enabling factors, following the intervention (p>0.05). In addition, mean overall scores of precede-proceed model constructs in patients of case group and target behavior means "precise observance therapeutic regime" than before of intervention was significantly increased (p<0.05). The mean scores of the knowledge, attitude and enabling factors was significant in control group following the intervention. Conclusion: Education based on framework of the precede-proceed model is effective to increase the knowledge, attitude, enabling and reinforcing factors and positive coping behaviors in patients with epilepsy.
