简要总结
The Epilepsy Patient Education (EPE) is very important for the comprehension of the disease and its management. The EPE allows patients and caregivers to acquire together some autonomy and some skills that will help them live better with the disease.The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of a program of educational activities (EA) on the quality of life of epileptic patients measured by the validated scale Quality Of Life in Epilepsy -31 (QOLIE-31).Investigators hope a difference in improving the quality of life score of 25% between the 2 groups.
详细描述
Introduction:
Epilepsy is a common neurological disease with an estimated annual incidence of 43 cases per 100,000 population in developed countries (McHugh et al;. 2008). It is a chronic disease that can be disabling for the patient and his family. The management of patients with epilepsy must consider the quality of life, improving the quality of life is precisely one of the main objectives of therapeutic education (WHO1996).
Background and rational of the study:
The Epilepsy Patient Education (EPE) is very important for the comprehension of the disease and its management. By offering a better knowledge about the disease, helping the patients to learn how to manage crises and treatments, and especially, how to develop strategies to adapt to specific life situations, the EPE allows patients and caregivers to acquire together some autonomy and some skills that will help them live better with the disease.
