Aim: The aim of this study was to find out whether patients with epilepsy are planning pregnancy, from where and from which sources they collect information about their illness. As well as to determine which demographic factors predict the family planning of women with epilepsy. Methods:We conducted a cross-sectional study in University hospital of Split. The study included women of reproductive age, suffering from epilepsy, and women of the same age who do not suffer from epilepsy. We conducted the research through a questionnaire that consisted of two parts. The first part of the questionnaire was completed by both groups of respondents, while the second part was intended only for respondents with epilepsy. The first part of the questionnaire had 14 questions related to sociodemographic data and the question "Do you suffer from epilepsy?". The second part of the questionnaire consisted of 12 questions related to specific information about subjects suffering from epilepsy: duration of the disease, medications they take, sources of information about the disease, time elapsed since the last medical check-up, consultation with specialists in neurology or gynecology before planning pregnancy, self-assessments of knowledge about the disease. Results: 167 subjects participated in the research (82 subjects suffering from epilepsy and 85 subjects not suffering from epilepsy). More than half of the respondents with diagnosed epilepsy who do not have children plan to have children (n=29; 60.4%). Three quarters (75%) of the respondents with epilepsy who have children planned to become pregnant and they did not differ significantly from the respondents who do not have epilepsy and have children (P=0.419). However, a statistically significantly higher number of patients with diagnosed epilepsy do not have children compared to patients without epilepsy (χ2=14.97; P<0.01). The level of attitude about the sufficiency of knowledge about one's disease among respondents with diagnosed epilepsy was 1 point in the range of 1 to 5 points, and a statistically significantly low value of the attitude was determined (T=7.40; P<0.001). Conclusion Women suffering from epilepsy are mostly planning pregnancy, but they have fewer children compared to women without epilepsy. In addition, women with epilepsy indicate a low level of knowledge about their disease. The results obtained from this research suggest the importance of educating women of reproductive age suffering from epilepsy by doctors and nurses in order to prepare future mothers as adequately as possible for pregnancy and childbirth and to ensure that pregnancy and childbirth pass with as few complications as possible for mother and child.
