Background of the Study
Epilepsy is a neurological condition that significantly affects the quality of life of patients due to recurrent seizures, stigma, and associated social and psychological challenges. Nurses play an important role in the management of epilepsy, including patient education, seizure control, and emotional support. This study aims to explore the impact of nurses’ roles in improving the quality of life for epilepsy patients in Sokoto State hospitals.

Nurses have a key role in managing these aspects, but there may be gaps in the care provided. Understanding the impact of nurses on improving patients' quality of life is crucial to improving care for individuals living with epilepsy in Sokoto State.
