Summary:Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-17T14:13:58Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 DanielleSBS_DISSERT.pdf: 594400 bytes, checksum: 8331f809b804fd5fda82820ab851153a (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-12-16 === Epilepsy is a chronic disorder of the central nervous system, most frequently characterized by abnormal electrical impulses in the brain. It is the oldest recorded neurological disease and has been surrounded by myths, mistaken beliefs and preconceptions. Three professionals work with epileptic patients on a daily basis: teachers, physical educators and physicians . This study aimed to analyze and compare the level of knowledge, preconceptions and attitudes of undergraduate students in the courses of Pedagogy, Physical Education and Medicine, future professionals who will deal with epileptic patients. This descriptive observational study was conducted with 286 university undergraduates of both sexes (women 99/34.6% and men 187/65.4%) from the first to fourth year of Pedagogy, Physical Education and Medicine courses at the Universidade Estadual Rio Grande do Norte (UERN), with mean age of 23 years. A validated and adapted 17-question questionnaire, divided into nine knowledge-based questions, five related to preconceptions and three on attitudes, was applied. Results allowed elaboration of a manuscript entitled Comparative Analysis of Knowledge, Attitude and Preconceptions in University Undergraduates of Pedagogy, Physical Education and Medicine Courses in Relation to Epilepsy. The findings of this article show that knowledge of epilepsy in the three groups is very satisfactory. The low level of preconception indicates that educational or clarifying information is being transmitted, albeit by television, a layman s information vehicle, which has undoubtedly contributed to reducing the stigma of epilepsy through educational information. Results also suggest a lack of knowledge on how to act during a seizure, especially in education professionals. Although there are limitations in our sample, the relevance and contribution of this study is to call attention to the importance and need for these future professionals to be informed and learn correct attitudes with respect to epilepsy during their academic formation. This is essential at a time when the disease is being brought out of the shadows. This research was supported by the Office of the Dean of Teaching, and Deans of Pedagogy, Physical Education and Medicine at UERN. The research was made possible by the multidisciplinary interaction among a physical educator, child neurologist and statistician, all contributing to achieving the aims set out here === epilepsia ? uma desordem cr?nica do sistema nervoso central mais freq?ente caracterizada por um descompasso el?trico nos circuitos cerebrais, tida como a doen?a neurol?gica mais antiga e esteve sempre cercada por mitos, cren?as e preconceitos. Tr?s profissionais lidam no dia a dia com os pacientes epil?ticos, o Pedagogo, o Educador F?sico e o M?dico. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar e comparar o n?vel de conhecimento, preconceitos e atitudes dos universit?rios dos cursos de Pedagogia, Educa??o F?sica e Medicina, futuros profissionais que ir?o lidar com pacientes que apresentem epilepsia. O estudo foi descritivo observacional, realizado com 286 universit?rios, cursando do primeiro ao quarto per?odo dos cursos de Pedagogia, Educa??o F?sica e Medicina, da Universidade Estadual do Rio Grande do Norte- UERN, com a m?dia da idade de 23 anos de ambos os g?neros (feminino 99/34,4% e masculino187/64,4%). Utilizou-se o question?rio validado e adaptado contendo 17 quest?es, sendo dividido em nove quest?es referentes ao conhecimento, cinco em rela??o ao preconceito e tr?s sobre as atitudes. Os resultados permitiram a elabora??o de um manuscrito: intitulado-An?lise Comparativa do Conhecimento, Atitude e Preconceito de Universit?rios dos Cursos de Pedagogia, Educa??o F?sica e Medicina em Rela??o ? Epilepsia. Neste artigo o resultado mostra que o conhecimento sobre epilepsia entre os tr?s grupos ? muito satisfat?rio. O baixo n?vel de preconceito revelado indica que nos dias atuais s?o passadas informa??es educacionais ou esclarecedoras mesmo que por um ve?culo de comunica??o de informa??o leiga, a televis?o, que sem d?vidas contribui para a redu??o do estigma da epilepsia pelas suas informa??es educativas. Os resultados indicam ainda que h? desconhecimento de atitudes corretas sobre como atuar durante a crise em especial para os profissionais da Educa??o. Embora haja limita??o da nossa amostra, o m?rito e a contribui??o dessa pesquisa ? chamar a aten??o para a import?ncia e a necessidade destes futuros profissionais, que lidar?o com pacientes epil?ticos para estarem informados e aprenderem atitudes corretas durante sua forma??o acad?mica. Isto ? fundamental na era em que se trabalha para tirar a epilepsia da sombra. Para a realiza??o deste estudo tevese o apoio da Pr? - Reitoria de Ensino, dos diretores das faculdades de Pedagogia, Educa??o F?sica e Medicina da UERN. O desenvolvimento desta pesquisa foi poss?vel pela intera??o multidisciplinar que envolveu um educador f?sico, um neurologista infantil e um estat?stico, todos contribu?ram para a realiza??o e concretiza??o do objetivo deste estudo
