摘要：

The present qualitative study explored how participants perceive their quality of life within the social domain 2 years following epilepsy surgery. Semistructured, open-ended interviews were conducted with 27 participants (11-21 years old), 2 years following epilepsy surgery. Thirteen of the 27 participants were seizure free. Data were transcribed and coded inductively to allow for the identification of salient themes. Many of the seizure-free participants reported greater independence following surgery. However, most participants, irrespective of seizure status, continued to report some problems with peer relations and isolation. These findings suggest that self-perceived improvements in social function among seizure-free participants may require longer than 2 years to develop. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
