Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Psychology
  • Health Sciences

Background:

  • Parkinson's disease and intractable epilepsy present unique challenges.
  • Understanding patient coping mechanisms is crucial for managing chronic conditions.
  • Psychosocial adaptation is a key factor in quality of life for these patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate coping strategies in Parkinson's disease (PD) and intractable epilepsy (IE) patients.
  • To examine correlations between coping strategies, demographics, illness data, depression, locus of control, and psychosocial adaptation.
  • To identify potential illness-specific coping patterns.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Freiburg Questionnaire of Coping with Illness (FKV), von Zerssen Depression Scale (D-S), and IPC-questionnaire.
  • Employed the Social Interview Schedule (SIS) for psychosocial adaptation assessment.
  • Compared coping patterns in 45 PD patients and 40 IE patients.

Main Results:

  • Both PD and IE patients predominantly used active, problem-focused, and compliance strategies, viewing them as most helpful.
  • No significant differences in depression levels were found between the groups.
  • Maladaptive coping strategies correlated with increased depression and poor psychosocial adaptation.

Conclusions:

  • Parkinson's disease and epilepsy patients exhibit similar coping patterns, irrespective of symptom differences.
  • Certain coping strategies are linked to better or poorer psychosocial adjustment in both patient groups.
  • Interventions supporting effective coping strategies may improve psychosocial adjustment.
