A systematic review of quality of life in parents of children with epilepsy

This review suggests that parents of CWE have compromised QOL. The results are in line with previous research showing the interdependent nature of psychosocial and medical factors, with psychosocial factors playing a critical role in child and parental QOL and well-being. Interventions targeting the family unit are warranted, and healthcare providers should be aware of the bidirectional relationship of epilepsy, family environment, and child/parent health and well-being.
