- W2805790637 abstract "Objective: The aim of this study was to identify suicidal ideation and its determinants among persons diagnosed with epilepsy at the University of Calabar teaching hospital, Nigeria. Background: Psychopathological morbidity has been reported among people living with epilepsy. Co-existence of psychological distress in patients presenting to the clinics largely goes unrecognized, by attending clinicians, with consequent adverse impact on the outcomes of managing such patients. Design/Methods: We conducted a survey among epilepsy patients at their initial presentation to the adult neurology out-patient clinic of the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Nigeria, from November 2015 to October 2016. In addition to generated data on demographics and epilepsy features, the participants were requested to affirm or refute entertainment of suicidal thoughts within the previous one month period. Results: Sixty five participants comprising of 38 (58.5%) males and 27 (41.5%) females, with a mean age of 33 years (SD= 12.28), were recruited. The mean age at onset of epilepsy symptoms was 21.8 years (SD = 13.60) and the duration ranged from two weeks to 44 years. Entertainment of suicidal thoughts was reported by 16.9% of the respondents. Reported denial of opportunity or hindrance to aspirations, as a result of respondent’s epilepsy status, was the identified predictor of suicidal ideation (p = 0.011). Conclusions: Suicidal ideation exists among epilepsy patients in Calabar, Nigeria. Deprivation of opportunity or hindered aspirations due to one’s epilepsy status is a predictor of suicidal ideation in the affected persons. Efforts to curb stigmatization of epilepsy will mitigate suicidal ideation in these people living with epilepsy. Study Supported by: N/A Disclosure: Dr. Oparah has nothing to disclose. Dr. WILLIAMS has nothing to disclose. Dr. Idika has nothing to disclose." @default.
