Abstract:
Objective To investigate and analyze the related factors influencing the quality of life in patients with epilepsy, and provide a theoretical basis for taking appropriate measures to improve the quality of life in patients with epilepsy. Methods Sixty-five patients with epilepsy visiting our hospital from July 2007 to December 2008 were chosen in our study. The table-31 for quality of life in patients with epilepsy (Chinese version) was performed on them. The age, gender, education degree,seizure types, course of disease, cognitive function, medication compliance and fear of attack were considered as the independent variable; related factors in the table-31 for quality of life were adopted as dependent variable; multiple linear regression analysis was performed on these 2 variables. Results Education degree and course of disease could affect the memory of patients with epilepsy (standardized regression coefficients were 0.380 and 0.264, respectively). Age could affect the social activities of the patients (standardized regression coefficient was -0.303). Gender could affect the attack of the patients (standardized regression coefficient was 0.332). Conclusion The influencing factors of quality of life in patients with epilepsy are age, gender, education degree, course of disease; and education degree and course of disease enjoy the greatest influence.
