چکیده
UNLABELLED Women with epilepsy (WWE) have poorer knowledge and skill in child rearing than women without epilepsy. PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of a self-instructional module (SIM) on the child rearing knowledge (CRK) and practice (CRP) of WWE and developmental outcome of their babies. METHODS One hundred women in first trimester of pregnancy that were enrolled in to the Kerala Registry of Epilepsy and Pregnancy and consenting to participate were given a self instructional module (SIM) or a comparator booklet by random concealed allocation. Their child rearing knowledge (CRK) was assessed by a standardized protocol at entry (first trimester) and at 3-4 months postpartum. Their child rearing practice (CRP) was evaluated in third postpartum month. The developmental outcome of babies was assessed at 1 year of age as per registry protocol. RESULTS Eighty eight women completed this 1 year study. The CRK score was significantly higher (p=.034) for the intervention group (32.91±5) when compared to the comparator group (30.61±5) However, a corresponding improvement in CRP score was not observed for the former. Developmental outcome of 68 babies showed a positive weak correlation between CRP and developmental quotient both mental and motor. The intervention group demonstrated significant increase in their CRK. Nevertheless the results did not indicate a significant improvement in the CRP. CONCLUSION The SIM improved the CRK of WWE. Nevertheless, the child rearing practices did not show corresponding improvement.
