Background: Hope and meaning of life are two key important elements of well-being and mental health in people. These components, when people are faced with mental and physical illness are playing vital roles in improving health and challenging problems in life. Goal: This study investigated the comparison of hope and meaning of life with depression between epileptic and non-epileptic persons. Method: The research method was causal-comparative. 100 persons were selected targeted from the Association of Epilepsy in Golestan province in north -east Iran and 100 participants were selected from non-epileptic persons in 2013. All participants were matched in age, education, and economic social situation. For gathering data we used four questionnaires including; Demographic Questionnaire, Adult Hope Scale (AHS), Meaning of Life Questionnaire (MLQ) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Results: Data were analyzed with Pearson correlation and t-student test. The results indicated that there was a significant difference between hope, meaning of life and depression between epileptic and non-epileptic participants. Conclusion: In general, epileptic patients had lower meaning of life and hope than non-epileptic participants. Also, the epileptic patients had higher scores of depression than the other group of participants. It is worthy to point out that counseling treatment and rehabilitation programs for these patients should focus on hope and meaning of life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
