IzvlečekEpilepsija lahko predstavlja tveganje za vse udeležence v cestnem prometu, zato osebe z epilepsijo ne izpolnjujejo pogojev za neomejeno vozniško dovoljenje. Vpliv na vožnjo imajo tako sami epileptični napadi, saj spreminjajo stanje zavesti ter povzročajo prehodne motorične in senzorič-ne nevrološke znake, kot tudi protiepileptična zdravila zaradi svojih številnih stranskih učin-kov. Med strokovno javnostjo ni enotnega mnenja o tveganju za prometno nezgodo pri osebah z epilepsijo, vendar izsledki nedavnih raziskav kažejo, da je tveganje nižje v primerjavi z ostalimi zdravstvenimi stanji. Raziskave predstavljajo osnovo, na podlagi katerih nastajajo zakonski akti, ki z omejevanjem vožnje oseb z epilepsijo omogočajo njim in drugim udeležencem v prometu vožnjo v kar najbolj varnem okolju. V bližnji preteklosti je bila zakonodaja, ki v Republiki Sloveniji ureja omenjeno področje, deležna korenite prenove in danes omogoča manj diskriminatorno obravnavo. Čeprav se osebe z epilepsijo srečujejo s številnimi težavami, tako na področju osebnih odnosov kot zaposlitve, v anketah pogosto uvrščajo nezmožnost vožnje na sam vrh seznama težav. Pri obravnavi omenjenih težav pa igra pomembno vlogo prav gotovo družinski zdravnik. AbstractEpilepsy poses a risk for all participants in road traffic; therefore, people with epilepsy do not meet the criteria for an unlimited driving licence. Their driving is affected not only by epileptic seizures causing impaired consciousness and involuntary movements, but also by antiepileptic drugs with their many adverse affects. The experts have not yet agreed on whether people with epilepsy have an increased risk of experiencing a road traffic accident. However, recent data suggest that the overall risk is lower compared to other medical conditions. Scientific evidence forms the basis for legislation which enables all participants in road traffic to drive in the safest possible environment by imposing restrictions people with epilepsy. The legislation that governs epilepsy and driving in Slovenia has been recently thoroughly reformed, thus allowing a less discriminatory management of people with epilepsy. Although people with epilepsy experience many issues in their daily life, including their personal relationships and employment, they often list the need for driving as a top concern in surveys. General physicians play an important role in managing the issues of people with epilepsy.

BackgroundFunctional neurological disorder (FND) is a common neurological diagnosis that encapsulates a range of incapacitating clinical presentations. These include functional seizures, movement disorders, and sensory disturbances. Safe driving requires both cognitive skills and physical abilities, which may be impacted by FND symptoms. The primary objective of this study was to gain deeper insights into the challenges faced by people with FND when driving.MethodsA qualitative study and interpretative phenomenological analysis were conducted. Individuals experiencing functional seizures and/or movement disorders completed both questionnaires and semi‐structured interviews about FND symptoms, driving behavior, and crashes.ResultsA total of 26 patients with FND participated in this study. Based on the interviews, four key themes were identified: (1) driving difficulties experienced by individuals with FND; (2) strategies utilized by people with FND to overcome difficulties experienced while driving; (3) barriers preventing driving challenges being addressed in this population; and (4) crashes and perceived dangerous driving events experienced by individuals with FND. All participants reported that driving a car provoked FND symptoms and this affected their driving ability. FND sufferers reported using a number of strategies such as limiting how far they drive and relying on advanced driver assistance system features to help manage their associated symptoms, such as fatigue and/or pain. Several participants reported crashes and perceived dangerous driving events since developing FND.ConclusionIndividuals experiencing FND often employ self‐regulation techniques, yet the extent to which these methods enhance driving safety remains uncertain. The variable nature of the disorder makes judging an individual's driving risk particularly difficult. The themes emerging from the interviews highlighted the need for further empirical research to inform guidelines and best practice when determining the impact of FND on an individual's driving safety .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
