摘要

癫痫的不可预测性和病程延长会影响个体生活的各个方面(身体、心理和社会)。被诊断为癫痫的人是焦虑、抑郁以及社会问题(婚姻、教育和日常活动)等不同精神问题的高危人群。本研究结果显示,50例成人癫痫患者的心理困扰率很高(70%)。研究还发现,与控制癫痫患者(42%)相比,不受控制的癫痫患者(100%)经历了高度的心理困扰。与痛苦相关的人口统计学和临床因素包括缺乏职业、存在潜在的致残状况(经过治疗)以及癫痫的严重程度。研究结果显示,19名女性癫痫患者中有13人报告有心理困扰。研究还发现,这些女性都没有工作(这是一种特定文化现象),未婚女性的比例略高(74%)。因此,通过了解临床和社会心理变量之间的关系,可以设计出一个关注社会和性别差异的良好管理计划。目前的研究还可以帮助提高对癫痫的认识,降低对癫痫的污名化。

Assessment of psychological distress in epilepsy: perspective from pakistan.

The unpredictable nature & elongated course of epilepsy affect all dimensions (physical, psychological, and social) of an individual's life. People with the diagnosis of epilepsy are a high-risk group for different psychiatric problems that is anxiety, depression as well as social problems (marriage, education, and daily activities). The findings of present research revealed high rate (70%) of psychological distress among fifty adult individuals with epilepsy. It was also found that people with uncontrolled epilepsy experience high level of psychological distress (100%) as compared to those with controlled (42%). Demographic and clinical factors associated with distress include lack of occupation, the presence of an underlying disabling condition (with treatment), and the severity of epilepsy. The finding generated here showed that 13 out of 19 females with epilepsy reported psychological distress. It was also found that none of these women was employed (a cultural specific phenomenon) with a slightly high number of unmarried females (74%). So by understanding the relationship between clinical and psychosocial variables, a good management plan can be devised with a focus on social and gender differences. The present research can also help to increase the awareness and to lower the stigmatization related to epilepsy.
