An epileptic seizure is a short episode of behavioral or consciousness’ disorder, which
initiates abruptly and usually, ends on its own. Epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder,
which is characterized by repeated epileptic seizures.
This dissertation aims in analyzing questionnaires that explore patients’ with epilepsy
views regarding driving after being diagnosed with the illness.
Two hundred and eleven questionnaires were distributed, a hundred and six of which
did not include certain questions required by the research. Data were collected from
patients at Evaggelismos Hospital in Athens and Papageorgiou General Hospital in
Thessaloniki, during 2012 – 2013.
The methods of statistical analysis used where dimensional and two-dimensional
descriptive analysis, multiple response analysis, cluster analysis and logistic
regression.
Conclusions suggest that patients’ emotions, after being deprived from their driving
license, where mainly sadness. Further, the period their driving license was
suspended, depended on when they had their last seizure.
