The purpose of this study was to compare parenting stress and activity patterns in parents of children with new-onset epilepsy (NOE, n=30) and parents of children without epilepsy (controls, n=29). Participants completed parenting stress measures and Daily Phone Diaries, a cued-recall procedure to track parents through their activities over a 24-h period. No significant differences were found in parenting stress, with the exception of a higher proportion of parents of children with NOE experiencing life stress compared with parents of controls (P<0.05). Results indicated parents of children with NOE spent more time in medical care (F=4.4, P<0.05) and less time in recreation outside of the home (F=5.6, P<0.05) compared with parents of controls. These findings have important implications for family adaptation to a new epilepsy diagnosis.
本研究的目的是比较新发癫痫患儿(NOE,n = 30)的父母与无癫痫患儿的父母(对照组,n = 29)的育儿压力和活动模式。参与者完成了育儿压力测量和每日电话日记,这是一种线索回忆程序,用于在24小时内跟踪父母的活动。育儿压力方面未发现显著差异,但与对照组父母相比,新发癫痫患儿的父母中经历生活压力的比例更高(P<0.05)。结果表明,与对照组父母相比,新发癫痫患儿的父母在医疗护理上花费的时间更多(F = 4.4,P<0.05),而在家外娱乐活动上花费的时间更少(F = 5.6,P<0.05)。这些发现对家庭适应新的癫痫诊断具有重要意义。
