目的：本研究的主要目的是探讨一个可能的关联的应对方式和健康相关的生活质量（HRQOL）的患者与心因性非癫痫性发作（PNES）在南非context.Methods：22例PNESS与确认视频脑电图匹配的年龄和性别与健康对照组。参与者必须完成自我报告的HRQOL和应对策略的措施。资料分析包括Pearson相关分析、方差分析和回归分析。结果：PNESS组HRQOL评分显著低于健康对照组HRQOL评分。与健康对照组相比，PNESS的参与者使用了更多的逃避-回避和疏远应对策略。结果还表明，避免与PNESS参与者所使用的应对策略有显着的负面影响，他们的HRQOL.Conclusions：本研究的结果提供了更深入的了解与PNESS参与者所使用的应对策略，已被确定为PNESS的危险因素。这是第一次对南非PNESS患者的这种性质进行研究。(C)2013 Elsevier Inc.

Objective: The primary aim of this study was to explore a possible association between the coping styles and the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) in the South African context.Methods: Twenty-two patients with PNESs with confirmatory video-EEG were matched by age and gender with a healthy control group. Participants had to complete self-reported measures of HRQOL and coping strategies. Data analysis consisted of performing Pearson correlations, analysis of variances, and regression analysis.Results: The results indicated that the HRQOL scores of the group with PNESs were significantly lower than the HRQOL scores of the healthy control group. The participants with PNESs utilized significantly more escape-avoidance and distancing coping strategies in comparison to the healthy control group. The results also indicated that the avoidance coping strategies utilized by participants with PNESs had a significant negative effect on their HRQOL.Conclusions: The findings of this study provided greater insight into the coping strategies utilized by participants with PNESs, which have been identified as risk factors in PNESs. This is the first study of this nature of people with PNESs in South Africa. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
