摘要

背景:癫痫患者生活质量差的风险增加。目的:我们旨在评估埃塞俄比亚贡达尔大学转诊医院(UoGRH)癫痫患者的生活质量及其决定因素。方法:对2017年1月15日至4月15日在华大医院随访的癫痫患者进行横断面研究。从医疗记录和患者中提取了包括社会人口特征和诊断在内的信息。采用QOLIE-10 (Quality Of Life In epileptic -10)工具衡量患者的生活质量。采用独立t检验和单因素方差分析寻找与生活质量相关的因素。p值≤0.05为差异有统计学意义。结果:共纳入354例患者,平均年龄29.1±11.7岁。QOLIE-10平均评分为19.85分。194名(54.8%)参与者的生活质量良好。文盲、失业和存在合并症与较差的生活质量有关。结论:近一半的参与者生活质量较差。应特别重视合并症、文盲和失业患者,以提高他们的生活质量。

Assessment of Quality of Life of Epileptic Patients in Ethiopia.

Background: Patients with epilepsy are at an increased risk of poor quality of life.

Purpose: We aimed at assessing the quality of life and its determinants among epileptic patients at University of Gondar Referral Hospital (UoGRH), Ethiopia.

Methods: Institution based cross-sectional study was conducted on epileptic patients on follow up at UoGRH from January 15 to April 15, 2017. Information including socio-demographic profile and diagnosis was extracted from medical records and patients. Quality Of Life In Epilepsy-10 (QOLIE-10) tool was used to measure the quality of life. Independent t-test and one-way analysis of variance were used to look for factors associated with quality of life. The level of statistical significance was declared at P-value ≤ 0.05.

Results: A total of 354 patients were included in the study and mean age was 29.1 ± 11.7 years. The mean QOLIE-10 score was 19.85. One hundred ninety-four (54.8%) of participants had a good quality of life. Being illiterate, unemployment, and presence of co-morbid medical condition were associated with poorer quality of life.

Conclusion: Nearly half of the participants had a poor quality of life. Patients with co-morbidity, illiteracy, and unemployment should be given special emphasis in order to improve their quality of life.
