چکیده انگلیسی


- Epilepsy is associated with lower life satisfaction during and after pregnancy.
- Partnership satisfaction is lower in women with epilepsy during pregnancy.
- Separation/divorce is more common in mothers with epilepsy after pregnancy.
- Adverse socioeconomic aspects and life events are linked with epilepsy postpartum.
- Screening tools are available for follow-up of pregnant women with epilepsy.

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate life satisfaction in women with epilepsy during and after pregnancy.MethodsThe study was based on the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study, including 102,265 women with and without epilepsy from the general population. Investigation took place at pregnancy weeks 15-19 and 6 and 18 months postpartum. Women with epilepsy were compared with a reference group without epilepsy.ResultsThe proportion of women with epilepsy was 0.6-0.7% at all three time points. Women with epilepsy reported lower life satisfaction and self-esteem both during and after pregnancy compared with the references. Single parenting correlated negatively with life satisfaction in epilepsy during the whole study period. Epilepsy was associated with lower levels of relationship satisfaction and higher levels of work strain during pregnancy and lower levels of self-efficacy and satisfactory somatic health 18 months postpartum. Adverse life events, such as divorce, were more common in women with epilepsy compared with the references, and fewer women with epilepsy had a paid job 18 months postpartum.SignificanceReduced life satisfaction associated with epilepsy during and after pregnancy showed that, even in a highly developed welfare society, women with epilepsy struggle. Mothers with epilepsy and their partners should be examined for emotional complaints and partnership satisfaction during and after pregnancy. Validated screening tools are available for such measures.
