我们比较了媒体报道日本癫痫患者车祸前后非医学专业学生对癫痫的熟悉程度和态度。自2008年起，我们每年进行一次关于癫痫态度的问卷调查。我们将学生分为两组：事故前时代（2008-2010年）和事故后时代（2011-2012年）。读过或听说过癫痫的学生比例在事故后时代明显更高。后事故时代的学生更频繁地回答说，他们不反对他们的孩子和癫痫病儿童一起玩耍或上学，他们认为癫痫病患者应该像其他人一样被雇用，他们不反对他们的孩子有一天嫁给癫痫病患者。我们的研究结果表明，媒体报道的车祸与癫痫患者的积极影响的熟悉和态度癫痫。(C)2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
We compared the familiarity with and attitude toward epilepsy among nonmedical students before and after media coverage on car accidents related to persons with epilepsy in Japan. We have annually conducted a questionnaire survey on attitude toward epilepsy since 2008. We divided students into two groups: pre-accident era (years 2008-2010) and post-accident era (years 2011-2012). The rate of students who have read or heard about epilepsy was significantly higher in the post-accident era. Students in the post-accident era answered more frequently that they do not oppose the idea of their kids playing or attending school with children with epilepsy, they think that people with epilepsy should be hired in the same way as other people, and they do not oppose the idea of their children one day marrying a person with epilepsy. The results of our study show that media coverage of car accidents related to persons with epilepsy positively affected familiarity with and attitude toward epilepsy. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc.
