"Epilepsy patients quality of life scale", "Daily life ability scale" and "Sense of uncertainty in hospitalized patients disease scale" test were performed to the participants. The difference of daily psychological behavior ability, sense of uncertainty in illness and quality of life between the two groups were analyzed.
Results
The epilepsy children’s daily life ability and the quality of life are lower than normal children (P<0.05), the disease uncertainty is higher than normal children (P<0.05).
Conclusion

Some medical intervention should be taken to alleviate the psychological burden, improve the ability of daily life, reduce the uncertainty in illness, and comprehensively improve the quality of life of children with epilepsy.
