This study aims to compare the quality of life (QoL)
among children diagnosed with epilepsy and attention-deficit/hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD). Both conditions have a major impact on children’s physical,
emotional, and social functioning. A total of 60 children (39 with epilepsy and
21 with ADHD) from Kafr El Sheikh schools were assessed using validated
questionnaires. Demographic, behavioral, and psychosocial factors were analyzed
to identify predictors of improved QoL.
Findings revealed that educational interventions, regular physical activity, and family awareness were associated with better QoL outcomes, while genetic predisposition and lack of understanding negatively affected results. Although statistical significance was limited (χ² = 3.14, p = 0.076), the trends suggest that increasing awareness and training sessions positively influence QoL for both the child and the family.
