Abstract:
Epilepsy is the most common chronic neurological illness in childhood and adolescence. As mothers are the children's primary caregivers most often, they are especially at higher risk for emotional symptoms in response to the epilepsy of their children, particularly depression. Mothers caring for children with epilepsy are at a high risk of psychological distress, such as depression and anxiety relative to standards. The more depressed the mother is, the greater its negative impact on the child's HRQOL, particularly in the first two years after diagnosis .Therefore, parental adjustment is an important area to focus on to improve HRQOL in child with epilepsy (CWE). Parents can improve the psychological, social and emotional development of their children by reinforcing or strengthening functional coping It is essential to cope with permanent stress and its effects. Some parents are good at managing the tension, while others have health and adaptation problems. Bearing in minds that psyche of parents influences the functioning of the child. Research has shown that parents are using a variety of strategies to cope with a stressor. Although the reactions and coping methods were individual, some similarities have been identified. Parents who cope well with the disability of their child have adopted healthy family coping patterns such as family integration and cooperation and adequate social support. On the other hand, parents who do not cope well, have low self-esteem, anxiety, stress, depression, and marital unhappiness
