Patients in the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">EN<\/jats:styled-content> group were advised according to their needs by epilepsy nurses. The control group received routine care without additional counseling. The <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">EN<\/jats:styled-content> group completed the questionnaires before the first consultation (T1) and 6 months later (T2); the control group completed the questionnaires twice with an interval of 6 months. Primary outcome measure was satisfaction of patients with information and support. Secondary outcome measures were satisfaction with patient\u2013doctor relationship, organization of treatment, epilepsy knowledge, coping, and restrictions in daily life. Anxiety and depression (<jats:italic>Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale<\/jats:italic>) and global Quality of Life (item from <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">QOLIE<\/jats:styled-content>\u201031) were also assessed.

Increase in satisfaction with counseling was dependent on patients' needs for information and on the amount of received information (Jonckheere\u2010Terpstra test, p &lt; 0.001).
