Keywords:
Epilepsy, Quality of life, Mental Health, Social funtioning, Anticonvulsant medications, QoLIE-10Abstract
Objective: To establish the level of health-related quality of life in adult individuals with epilepsy at an institution in Cartagena. Methods: This research was conducted with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of adults aged 19 to 60 years with a diagnosis of epilepsy but without significant cognitive impairments or epilepsy surgeries, and with no contraindications for completing the scale. The QOLIE-10 (Quality of Life in Epilepsy Inventory-10) was used as a reference to assess the quality of life and identify potential deficiencies. Results: The total evaluated population was 139, with 79 males and 60 females, indicating that 56.8% of the population were male. In the study group, 71.9% belonged to stratum 1, 20.9% to stratum 2, 6.5% to stratum 3, and one participant from stratum 6, representing 0.7%. The average age was 20 years, with a higher percentage of singles (33.8%) and unemployed individuals (47.5%). Regarding quality of life, 43.9% responded that things had gone "QUITE WELL" with a frequency score of 61, and 45.3% reported things going "WELL AND BADLY EQUALLY" with a frequency score of 63. Conclusion: The majority of participants consistently feel full of energy and only occasionally express feeling discouraged or sad. Anticonvulsant medications do not pose problems for their mobility, and they do not experience difficulties in memory, work, or social life. They rarely or never experience physical issues caused by the medications or mental problems provoked by anticonvulsants. They are not overly worried about experiencing a seizure in the last four weeks, despite the current pandemic situation.
