Quality of care and associated factors among patients with epilepsy at public hospitals in Arba Minch Town: a facility-based cross-sectional study

The quality of care provided to adult epilepsy patients at Arba Minch was low. In addition, patient knowledge, medication adherence, and the seizure control rate were also suboptimal. Therefore, addressing identified factors by involving all relevant stakeholders (health professionals, hospitals, zonal health departments, regional health bureaus, and patients) is critical for improving the quality of care. In addition, researchers willing to study this topic should use strong designs that can determine causal determinants of quality care.

Abstract

The quality of care provided to adult epilepsy patients at Arba Minch was low. In addition, patient knowledge, medication adherence, and the seizure control rate were also suboptimal. Therefore, addressing identified factors by involving all relevant stakeholders (health professionals, hospitals, zonal health departments, regional health bureaus, and patients) is critical for improving the quality of care. In addition, researchers willing to study this topic should use strong designs that can determine causal determinants of quality care.
