Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of psychological education based on timing theory in caregivers of epileptic patients.Methods:From April 2018 to April 2020, 160 caregivers of epilepsy patients from China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University were selected as the study subject by convenience sampling. Caregivers were divided into observation group and control group according to random number table, 80 in each group. The control group received routine intervention, while the observation group received psychological education based on timing theory on the basis of the control group. The Chinese version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Measurement Scale-Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF) were used to compare the psychological status and quality of life of the caregivers of epilepsy patients in the two groups before and after the intervention.Results:Finally, 77 subjects in the observation group and 75 subjects in the control group completed the study. After intervention, the scores of anxiety, stress and depression in DASS-21 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.01) . The scores of WHOQOL-BREF in physiology, psychology and social relations in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The application of psychological education based on timing theory in the caregivers of epileptic patients can reduce their unhealthy psychological state and improve their quality of life.
