Behavioral, social, and affective factors associated with self-efficacy for self-management among people with epilepsy

Perceived stigma and adherence in epilepsy: Evidence for a link and mediating processes

“…Higher perceived epilepsy-related stigma was associated with lower medication adherence (consistent with Hypothesis 1), replicating the findings of prior studies [18,37,38]. Higher perceived epilepsy-related stigma was associated with lower levels of information, motivation, and behavioral skills (consistent with Hypothesis 2).…”

“…The current study addressed the pathways linking perceived stigma and adherence within a parsimonious, evidence-based model [20]. Few prior studies have presented models of treatment adherence in epilepsy that link stigma with other factors involved in adherence [12,15,37]. A strength of the current study is its direct relevance for improving adherence in patients reporting stigma.…”

Predicting and Influencing Voice Therapy Adherence Using Social–Cognitive Factors and Mobile Video

“…The predictive role of social-cognitive factors in this study is consistent with theoretical and applied studies of volitional, goal-directed learning and behavior change outside of the field of speech pathology, including health behavior and academic learning (Anczak & Nogler, 2003;Bandura, 1997;Bandura, Barbaranelli, Caprara, & Pastorelli, 1996;DiIorio et al, 2006;DiMatteo, 2004;DiMatteo, Giordani, Lepper, & Croghan, 2002;Dishman & Buckworth, 1996;Lemoncello, Sohlberg, Fickas, Albin, & Harn, 2010;Locke & Latham, 2002;Meichenbaum & Turk, 1987;Pajares & Schunk, 2001;Schwarzer, Luszczynska, Ziegelmann, Scholz, & Lippke, 2008). Explaining 29% of practice and 25% of generalization variance, social-cognitive factors are interpreted as clinically meaningful determinants of patient adherence behavior in voice therapy.…”

Factors associated with superior self-management skills among individuals with epilepsy

“…Disease-related information: age at seizure onset, seizure duration, seizure frequency, whether they experience convulsions, whether they experience seizures while awake, seizure etiology, number of AEDs (antiepileptic drugs) they are currently taking, and severity of side effects from their current AED regimen. Psychosocial data: Quality of Life in Epilepsy Inventory -10 (QOLIE-10) [10], Beliefs About Medicines Questionnaire -Specific (BMQ-S) [11], Screening Questions for Health Literacy, Brief Coping with Problems Experienced (Brief-COPE) Inventory [12], and the Epilepsy Self-Management Scale (ESS) [13].…”
