Abstract

Research has shown that children experiencing epileptic seizures (ES) or non-ESs (NES) exhibit cognitive and behavioral deficits, but no research has examined social skills differences between the two groups. A better understanding of social skills differences between these two groups might allow for the development of more targeted interventions. The purpose of this study was to examine social skills differences between children with ES and children with NES, using the Social Skills Improvement Scale (SSIS). A total of 43 children were recruited from the epilepsy monitoring units at Phoenix Children's Hospital and Primary Children's Medical Center. The epilepsy group consisted of 28 participants (50% female, mean age at testing = 11.79, standard deviation [SD] = 3.12), and the NES group consisted of 15 participants (67% female; mean age at testing = 12.62, SD = 3.33). Parents and children completed the SSIS Rating Scales. No group differences were found between children with ES and children with NES on social skills measures. However, children in both groups rated their social skills as being in the average range, while parents of children in both groups rated their children's social skills as being in the below average range. Limitations to this study and directions for future research are discussed.
癫痫和非癫痫发作儿童的社交技能差异
研究表明,经历癫痫发作(ES)或非癫痫发作(NES)的儿童表现出认知和行为缺陷,但没有研究调查两组之间的社交技能差异。更好地了解这两个群体之间的社交技能差异,可能有助于制定更有针对性的干预措施。本研究的目的是使用社会技能改善量表(SSIS)来检验社会技能障碍儿童和新认知障碍儿童之间的社会技能差异。共有43名儿童从凤凰城儿童医院和初级儿童医疗中心的癫痫监测部门招募。癫痫组28例(50%为女性,测试时平均年龄11.79岁,标准差[SD] = 3.12), NES组15例(67%为女性;平均年龄为12.62岁,SD = 3.33)。家长和孩子完成了SSIS评定量表。在社会技能测试中,ES患儿和NES患儿之间没有发现组间差异。然而,两组孩子都认为自己的社交技能处于平均水平,而两组孩子的父母则认为自己孩子的社交技能处于低于平均水平的水平。讨论了本研究的局限性和未来的研究方向。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy is an English multidisciplinary peer-reviewed international journal publishing articles on all topics related to epilepsy and seizure disorders, epilepsy surgery, neurology, neurosurgery, and neuropsychology in childhood. These topics include the basic sciences related to the condition itself, the differential diagnosis, natural history, and epidemiology of seizures, and the investigation and practical management of epilepsy (including drug treatment, neurosurgery and non-medical and behavioral treatments). Use of model organisms and in vitro techniques relevant to epilepsy are also acceptable. Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy provides an in-depth update on new subjects and current comprehensive coverage of the latest techniques used in the diagnosis and treatment of childhood epilepsy.
