Objective To investigate the effect of positive family behavior support on emotional and behavioral problems in preschool children with epilepsy. Methods  A total of 80 preschool epileptic children and their parents who were admitted to the Department of Neurology of our hospital from October 2022 to February 2023 were selected as the research objects, and were divided into experimental group and control group with 40 cases each by random number table method. The control group received neurology routine nursing, and the experimental group received positive family behavior support intervention based on the control group. The scores of family intimacy and adaptability scale, strengths and difficulties questionnaire, medication compliance and quality of life of epilepsy children were compared before and after intervention between the two groups. Results After intervention, the scores of strength and difficulty questionnaire in experimental group were lower than those in control group (P<0.05), and the scores of family intimacy and adaptability scale, quality of life and medication compliance in experimental group were higher than those in control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion The application of positive family behavior support program can reduce the occurrence of emotional behavior problems, improve family closeness and adaptability, improve medication compliance, and improve the quality of life of preschool children with epilepsy.
