Self-perceptions of social function 2years after pediatric epilepsy surgery
Epilepsy & Behavior(2010)
摘要
The present qualitative study explored how participants perceive their quality of life within the social domain 2years following epilepsy surgery. Semistructured, open-ended interviews were conducted with 27 participants (11–21years old), 2years following epilepsy surgery. Thirteen of the 27 participants were seizure free. Data were transcribed and coded inductively to allow for the identification of salient themes. Many of the seizure-free participants reported greater independence following surgery. However, most participants, irrespective of seizure status, continued to report some problems with peer relations and isolation. These findings suggest that self-perceived improvements in social function among seizure-free participants may require longer than 2years to develop.
