dc.description.abstract | Aims: To ascertain epilepsy prevalence in Irish psychiatric inpatient units and compliance with care planning guidelines. Methods: Case records were reviewed in seven psychiatric inpatient units. Results: The prevalence of epilepsy across seven psychiatric inpatient units (n=9/267) was three times that of general population estimates. Minimal data was recorded pertaining to seizure type (n=1,11.1%), triggers (n=2,22.2%), clinical investigations relating to epilepsy (n=2,22%) and no epilepsy risk assessments were recorded (n=0,0%). Conclusions: The introduction of appropriate care plans is needed to optimise physical and mental wellbeing of those with epilepsy in psychiatric units. | en |
