摘要：

The incidence of seizure-related fears and concerns and its relationship to behavioral functioning was assessed in a sample of 96 adults with epilepsy. In addition, the potential influence of subject demographic characteristics (e.g., age, educational level) and clinical seizure variables (e.g., seizure control, duration of disorder, seizure type) was also examined. Findings indicated that such seizure-related fears and concerns are indeed significantly related to measures of behavioral adjustment, even when the effects of demographic and clinical seizure variables are considered. The overall incidence of these concerns in this sample is significantly lower than found in previous reports, and the specific nature of reported concerns is also different. Possible reasons for these differences are discussed as well as potential directions for future research. © 1990.
