“…In order to help reduce the stigma burden of epilepsy, healthcare providers should provide written and web-based educational materials that are highly readable and easily understood for people at all reading levels. 52 Supporting the potential utility of this resource, a recent study of adolescent PLWE found that easy-to-understand information about their illness was directly associated with higher self-efficacy. 52 Additionally, self-management programs that target both epilepsy and mental illness have the potential to provide adaptive methods for managing both illnesses and reduce depressive symptoms.…”

Background and Purpose Epilepsy is often associated with substantial stigma. This study evaluated clinical correlates of stigma in a sample of people living with epilepsy (PLWE) considered high risk due to frequent seizures or other negative health events. Methods Data were derived from an epilepsy self-management clinical trial. Standardized measures assessed socio-demographics, epilepsy stigma, epilepsy severity, self-efficacy, selfmanagement competency, health literacy, depressive symptoms severity, functional status, social support and quality of life. Results There were 120 individuals, mean age of 41.73 (SD=17.08), 81 men (66.9%), and 79 (65.3%) African-American. Individual factors correlated with worse stigma w ere indicative of more severe or poorly controlled seizures (frequent seizures, worse seizure severity scores, more antiepileptic drugs), mental health comorbidity (worse depression severity, other comorbidities) and factors related to individual functioning and perceived competency in managing their health (health literacy, health functioning, self-efficacy, quality of life). Multivariable linear regression found that worse quality of life, and having a mental condition were associated with more stigma (β=6.4 and 6.8, respectively), while higher self-efficacy, health literacy and social support were associated with less stigma (β=-0.06,-2.1, and-0.3, respectively). These five variables explained 50% of stigma variation. Conclusions Stigma burden can be substantial among PLWE and may vary depending on contextual factors such as mental health comorbidity. Care approaches that screen for psychiatric comorbidities, address low health literacy, institute promising self-management programs, and employ effective health communication strategies about epilepsy misconceptions, may reduce epilepsy related burden.

“…Moreover, both receiving care and extending care competencies might also satisfy the need for competence of adolescents. Appropriate care from others can increase self-efficacy -an assurance that a person can achieve his desired goal (Akbarbegloo et al 2015;Wang et al 2015). Similarly, helping others will improve how adolescents see themselves and value their contribution to the lives of others.…”

Care competencies in adolescents: Development of a new measure and relationships with well-being

Worldwide, we observe an increasing focus on fostering well-being in adolescents. This is reflected in growing research in the field of care. However, empirical research is lacking that focuses on the relationship between components of care: receiving care, self-care and extending care. This lack of research is mirrored in the lack of valid measures for assessing care competencies in educational contexts. The present research, therefore, has four goals: 1) to create a valid and reliable scale assessing levels of care competencies based on the multifaceted and multidimensional concept of care; 2) to explore the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and care competencies in adolescents; 3) to examine the psychological outcomes associated with different levels of care competencies in adolescents; 4) to explore the interaction of the three care dimensions in predicting adolescents' well-being. Based on data from 742 adolescents, a reliable and valid scale could be developed with six subscales: Receiving care, self-care and extending care, with each of them falling apart in care competencies and care failures. Gender, age and academic achievement were related to care competencies/failures. Findings support the link between adolescents' well-being and care competencies/failures. These results have implications for promoting adolescents' well-being through school-based care-cultivation programs. Keywords Adolescents. Care competencies. Well-being. Scale development Adolescence is a developmental period characterized by rapidly transformative biological, neurological, psychological and social changes (Layden and Shale 2012). These dynamic transitions may place them at risk of ill-being (Bakar and Sidek 2013). Although the majority of adolescents report a

“…pilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that imposes many costs on individuals and society. In Iran, epilepsy is prevalent in 1.2 to 4 individuals per 1,000 people (Akbarbegloo et al 2015). People with epilepsy have limited information on their disease and thus, are poorly adapted to their conditions (Edward et al 2015).…”

Background: People with chronic diseases, including epilepsy, need to learn self-management behaviors so as to control their disease and reduce its complications. The present study aims to determine how people with epilepsy self-manage the disease. Methods: The present research was a descriptive-correlational study conducted on 100 patients with epilepsy who had been referred to the Iranian Epilepsy Association in Tehran in January 2016 and met the inclusion criteria. The research tools included the disease profile form, demographic questionnaire, and self-management behaviors questionnaire for people with epilepsy. Statistical calculations were performed using SPSS software version 22. Results: It was found that 85.6% of the subjects had low self-management and 14.4% had moderate to high self-management. Independent t-test showed a significant relationship between self-management and marital status (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between total self-management score and other cognitive characteristics (P > 0.05). A negative and significant relationship was observed between age and self-management (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between total self-management score and other cognitive characteristics (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The findings indicate that educational interventions should be conducted to meet the educational needs of people with epilepsy in future studies.
