Abstract

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of clinical and psychological factors on the parental stress of children and adolescents with epilepsy. Methods : Children and adolescents with epilepsy (n=90, age range=6-17 years) completed questionnaires on epilepsy-related variables, children's depressive symptoms (Children's Depression Inventory, CDI), children's anxiety (Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale, RCMAS) and performed the scale for children's intelligence (IQ). Parents who have children and adolescents with epilepsy completed questionnaires on parental stress (Questionnaire on Resources and stress, QRS), parental anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, STAI), children's attention problems (Abbreviated Conners Parent Rating Scale Revised, CPRS), and children's behavioral problems (Korean Child Behavior Checklist, K-CBCL). Stepwise regression analysis was performed to determine the significant predictive variables that affect parental stress. Results : In the correlational analysis, duration of seizure treatment (r=0.253, p=0.016), children's IQ (r=-0.544, p<0.001), children's attention problems (r=0.602, p<0.001), children's depressive symptoms (r=0.335, p=0.002), children's anxiety (r=0.306, p=0.004), children's behavioral problems (r=0.618, p<0.001), and parental anxiety (r=0.478, p<0.001), showed a significant correlation with parental stress. Children's behavioral problem (β=0.241, p=0.010), children's IQ (β=-0.472, p<0.001), and parental anxiety (β=0.426, p<0.001) were significantly related to the parental stress (Adjusted R2=0.619). Conclusions : Clinicians should pay attention to children's intelligence and behavioral problems and parental anxiety, which affect parental stress with children and adolescents with epilepsy.

본 연구는 뇌전증 소아청소년 환아의 부모 스트레스에 대한 임상 및 심리적 요인의 영향을 조사하고자 하였다. 방 법 뇌전증이 있는 소아청소년(n=90, age range 6~17 years)을 대상으로 뇌전증 관련 임상 변수를 조사하였고, 환아에게 우울 및 불안 증상 설문지를 작성하도록 하였으며 지능검사를 시행하였다. 환아의 부모를 대상으로 부모의 스트레스, 부모 불안 및 환아의 주의력 문제, 행동 문제에 대한 설문을 작성하도록 하였다. 뇌전증 환아 부모의 스트레스와 변수들간의 연관성을 확인하기 위해 경향성 분석, 일원분산분석, 피어슨 상관분석으로 단변량 분석을 시행하였고, 부모의 스트레스에 영향을 미치는 독립 변수를 찾기 위해 단계적 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 결 과 상관 분석에서 발작의 치료 기간(r=0.253, p=0.016), 환아의 지능(r=-0.544, p<0.001), 주의력 문제(r=0.602, p<0.001), 우울 증상(r=0.335, p=0.002), 불안 증상(r=0.306, p=0.004), 행동 문제(r=0.618, p<0.001) 및 부모의 불안(r=0.478, p<0.001)은 부모의 스트레스와 유의한 상관 관계를 나타냈다. 부모의 스트레스에 영향을 미치는 독립변수는 환아의 행동 문제(β=0.241, p=0.010) 및 지능(β=-0.472, p<0.001) 그리고 부모의 불안(β=0.426, p<0.001)으로 나타났으며 부모의 스트레스에 대해 61.9%의 설명력을 보여주었다. 결 론 뇌전증을 가진 소아청소년 환아에서 부모의 스트레스는 환아의 행동문제와 인지기능 그리고 부모의 불안과 연관성이 높으며 따라서 임상의는 이에 주의를 기울이고 관리하는 것이 필요하겠다. 뇌전증 환아 부모의 스트레스를 경감시키기 위해서 뇌전증 환아의 지능과 행동문제를 조기에 평가하고 부모의 불안감에 대해서도 면밀하게 관찰하여 향후 뇌전증 치료에 반영하는 연구가 필요할 것으로 예상된다.
