<![CDATA[Abstrak: Epilepsi merupakan gangguan neurologis yang tersebar di seluruh dunia. Sekitar 50 juta orang di seluruh dunia menderita epilepsi dan diperkirakan 70% penderita epilepsi dapat hidup bebas kejang jika didiagnosis dan diobati dengan benar. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman orangtua tentang pemantauan epilepsi anak, manajemen obat, kesiapan dalam situasi anak kejang, dan pengelolaan peran orangtua. Metode pengabdian yang digunakan yaitu penyuluhan menggunakan buku saku. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilaksanakan di Rumah Sakit Abdul Moeloek Provinsi Lampung. Sebanyak 33 orang tua dengan anak epilepsi berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan pengabdian ini. Evaluasi kegiatan diberikan melalui pre-test dan post-test sebanyak 10 pertanyaan. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan sebanyak 72,73% orang tua mengalami peningkatan pengetahuan mengenai pendampingan anak epilepsi resisten obat dari aspek medis. Nilai rata-rata dan standar deviasi skor pengetahuan orang tua sebelum penyuluhan yaitu 57,58 ± 18,37 poin dan sesudah penyuluhan sebesar 70,30 ± 11,85 poin. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa kegiatan penyuluhan dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan orang tua dan berpotensi sebagai pendekatan berkelanjutan untuk memberikan dukungan holistik kepada anak epilepsi yang resisten obat.
