Epilepsy is a significant health problem in Iran and other countries. Previous epilepsy studies conducted in Iran have often focused on physiological aspects and pharmacological therapy, and little attention has been paid to the psychological and social aspects of care, particularly in adolescence. This paper aims to fill this gap by assessing the relationship between psychosocial care and attitudes toward illness in adolescents with epilepsy. A descriptive correlational design was adopted, and 74 adolescents who experienced generalized seizures and were treated at the neurology clinic affiliated with the Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in 2010 were examined. The data were collected using instruments including (1) the patient demographic characteristics, (2) the Child Report of Psychosocial Care Scale, and (3) the Child's Attitude Toward Illness Scale. There was a significant positive correlation between psychosocial care and attitudes toward illness (p<.05). There is no evidence for routine psychological consultation for our sample; it would be helpful if psychological consultation with and without parents made available to adolescents with epilepsy.
癫痫是伊朗和其他国家的一个重大健康问题。以前在伊朗进行的癫痫研究通常集中在生理方面和药物治疗方面，很少关注护理的心理和社会方面，特别是在青春期。本文旨在通过评估癫痫青少年的心理社会护理与疾病态度之间的关系来填补这一空白。采用描述性相关性设计，于 2010 年检查了在大不里士医科大学附属医院神经科就诊的经历全身性发作的 74 名青少年。使用的工具包括：（1）患者人口统计学特征，（2）儿童心理社会护理量表，以及（3）儿童对疾病的态度量表。心理社会护理与疾病态度之间存在显著正相关（p<.05）。我们的样本没有例行进行心理咨询的证据；如果能为癫痫青少年提供有和没有父母参与的心理咨询，将会很有帮助。
