简要总结
The purpose of this study is to incorporate multidimensional self-management programs into the routine care of epilepsy patients. Consenting patients will enroll in one of four interventions that help improve medication adherence, increase seizure awareness and documentation, improve memory and deal with stress and depression.
详细描述
Though tremendous advances have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of individuals with epilepsy, much remains to be done when it comes to improving their psychosocial well-being. Many individuals with epilepsy have difficulty adhering to treatment, documenting their seizure types, coping with memory difficulties, dealing with stress, and suffer from depression. These factors limit the quality of life of epilepsy patients and prevent them from realizing their full potential.
Patients will enroll in one of four interventions that help improve medication adherence, increase seizure awareness and documentation, improve memory and deal with stress and depression. Patient assessments will be conducted before and after intervention to gauge the efficacy of the programs.
The specific aims of this study are to assess the feasibility and patient acceptability of incorporating multidimensional self-management and psychosocial interventions into routine epileptic care, as well as, determine whether these incorporations improve self-management, quality-of-life, and other measures of well-being.

结局指标
主要结局
Changes in Quality of Life in Epilepsy-10 scores
时间窗: To be administered at baseline (upon subject screening), pre-intervention (with 2 weeks prior to intervention), post-intervention (between 6 weeks to 3 months post-intervention), and delayed post-intervention (within 4&1/2 to 6 months post-intervention)
This is a well-validated measure of quality of life for epilepsy patients. The unit of measure is a composite score ranging from 0-100 with higher scores indicating better quality of life.
