Abstract

Epilepsy is a brain disorder characterized by a tendency to induce a continuous epileptic recurrence and neurobiological, cognitive, psychological, as well as social consequences. Epilepsy seizures are a series of signs and/or symptoms caused by abnormal neuronal activities in the brain. The purpose of this study was to prove the benefits of applying self- and family-oriented educational management to clinical outcomes, self-management, and impact of epilepsy on family, patient’s quality of life, family support, and the role of doctors and family of the epilepsy patient. This is an experimental research using two groups pre and posttest design. The subjects were 80 epilepsy patients ranging from 18 to 70 years of age. All subjects had never had any epilepsy surgery. The subjects were randomly assigned to treatment and control groups; 40 subjects in the treatment group received treatment and self- as well as family-oriented education while the other 40 subjects in the control group received treatment only. Family-oriented education was conducted using written materials on pathophysiology and epilepsy management, psychological effects of epilepsy, and information about the epilepsy community. All of the subjects answered the questionnaires prior to and 3 months after treatment. The questionnaires include information on seizure frequency and seizure-free status, medication adherence, self-management, epilepsy impact on patient and family, and quality of life. The results show that self- and family-oriented education can improve medication adherence, self-management, and family roles. Family-oriented education reduces the frequency of seizures as well as the impact of epilepsy on patients and families. It was concluded that self- and family-oriented education had a positive effect on medical management, clinical outcomes, self-management, and the quality of life of patients with epilepsy.

Abstract

Background: Behavioral Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) characterized by disturbances in perception, thought content, mood, or behavior, frequently occur alongside Vascular Cognitive Impairment (VCI), significantly affecting the functional and cognitive status of post-stroke patients. Previous studies have identified certain stroke characteristics — such as multiple lesions, infarct volume and lesion location (e.g. left hemisphere) — as risk factors for post-stroke dementia. Epidemiological data on BPSD and research on the relationship between the location and number of stroke lesions and BPSD remain limited. Aim: To determine the relationship between the location and number of stroke lesions based on head CT scan with BPSD Methods: Cross-sectional study involving post-ischemic stroke patients at the Outpatient Installation of Kariadi Hospital Semarang. An evaluation was conducted on the location and number of stroke lesions in relation to the occurrence of Behavioral Psychological Symptoms of Dementia, based on Abe’s Behavioral Psychological Symptoms of Dementia Score. The confounding variables of the study were age, occupation, education level, nutritional status, and caregiver. Analysis was conducted using the Independent T test, Mann Whitney U and Kruskal-wallis. Significant results p<0.05 Results: The mean ABE BPSD score was 7.17 with a median of 4. The most common symptoms were depression/low mood, irritability, and sleep disturbance (33.3% each), followed by excitement and agitation (28.6%). Of the total subjects, 31% had stroke in the non-dominant hemisphere, 26.2% in the dominant hemisphere, and 42.9% in both hemisphere. A total of 64.3% had frontal lesions, while 35.7% had non-frontal lesions. Based on the number of lesions, 54.8% had single lesions and 45.2% had multiple lesions. The location of the lesions in the frontal region (p<0.001), the number of multiple lesions (p<0.001) and younger age (p=0.042) were significantly associated with a more severe ABE BPSD score. Conclusion: Location of frontal lesions, number of multiple lesions based on head CT scan and younger age have significant association with BPSD in post-ischemic stroke patients with VCI.
