ABSTRACT
Grand mal is the main characteristic of epileptic isorder. Other seizures that caused by non-epileptic disorders are called symptomatic epilepsy, epilepsy-like seizure and symptomatic seizure. The primary treatment of seizure patient is anticonvulsive medication. Therefore, adherence to medication regimen is important to reducing seizure incidence and preventing complications. Accreditation processes to study that how influence on the institution and individual development The survey was conducted by descriptive cross-sectional design in outpatient clinic of NCMH. Morisky Medication Adherence Scales are used to assess adherence to medication regimen of seizure patient’s. Folstein rapid test is used to assess dementia. Overall, 70 patients, aged 20-71 years, 36 males and 34 females were participated our survey. 81.4% of total participants were patients with seizure syndrome caused by brain injure; 14.3% were patients suffering from congenital epilepsy and 4.3% of them could not described causes of their disease. 29.9% of all participants assessed as mild and moderate dementia, 34.3% of participants assessed non-adherent to medication regimen by scale 4 item and 77.1% of participants assessed non-adherent to medication regimen by scale 8 item. 29.9% of all participants have dementia, and 34.3%-77.1% of patients are non-adherent to medication regimen. Thus, our study suggests that there is a direct correlation between dementia and an adherence to medication regimen.
