本研究探讨了社会,心理和身体健康之间的关联和一系列癫痫相关的社会人口统计学变量在癫痫患者的样本。采用问卷调查法,从英国和爱尔兰几个地区的城市和农村癫痫支持小组以及医院门诊人群中抽取了392名癫痫患者。研究结果显示,人们对自己和癫痫的看法是与整体幸福感最密切相关的变量,癫痫发作频率,自诊断以来的时间,失神癫痫发作的诊断和全职工作似乎也很重要。这项研究的结果对癫痫患者的管理有影响,并表明主观体验的评级可以有效地纳入未来关于癫痫发作障碍和其他残疾的社会和心理方面的研究中。
This study examined the association between social, psychological and physical well-being and a range of epilepsy-related and socio-demographic variables in a sample of people with epilepsy. A questionnaire method was used and the sample of 392 people with epilepsy was drawn from urban and rural epilepsy support groups in several regions of Great Britain and Ireland, and a hospital out-patients'' population. The findings revealed that people''s perceptions of themselves and of their epilepsy were the variables most strongly related to overall well-being, and that seizure frequency, time since diagnosis, a diagnosis of absence seizures and being employed full-time also seemed of some importance. The study''s findings have implications for the management of people with epilepsy and suggest that ratings of subjective experience could be usefully incorporated into future research on social and psychological aspects of seizure disorders and other disabilities.
