我们报告了一项正在进行的纵向研究的第一部分的结果，该研究旨在确定人口统计学、癫痫发作和家庭变量在预测癫痫儿童行为问题中的相对贡献。我们研究了127名8-12岁的癫痫儿童及其母亲。自我报告问卷，访谈和医疗记录的数据来源。采用多元回归的向后和向前逐步消除程序表明，五个变量，有助于显着预测的行为问题：女性性别，家庭压力，家庭掌握，大家庭的社会支持，和癫痫发作频率。这些因素占行为问题变异的29%（p < 0.001）。研究结果表明，家庭变量是行为问题的重要相关因素，在癫痫儿童的临床管理中应予以考虑。
We report results from the first part of an ongoing longitudinal study aimed at identifying the relative contributions of demographic, seizure, and family variables in the prediction of behavior problems in children with epilepsy. We studied 127 children with epilepsy aged 8-12 years and their mothers. Self-report questionnaires, interviews, and medical records were data sources. Backward and forward stepwise elimination procedures using multiple regression indicated five variables that contributed significantly to prediction of behavior problems: female gender, family stress, family mastery, extended family social support, and seizure frequency. These factors accounted for 29% (p < 0.001) of the variation in behavioral problems. Findings suggest that family variables are important correlates of behavior problems and should be considered in clinical management of children with epilepsy.
