Abstract
Our findings indicated that Chinese adults with epilepsy had various concerns, some of which differed from those observed in Western populations. Concerns about heritability of seizures, marriage, and pregnancy were of greater concern to Chinese patients compared with Western patients while the legal right to drive appeared to be less of a concern to Chinese patients. Patients with controlled seizures may still have many concerns. Chinese physicians should monitor patient concerns even among those whose seizures remain controlled to meet their needs. More time and attention should be given to address these issues in clinical practice in the context of Chinese culture.
