Epilepsy is a frequent chronic disease in children with a significant influence on psychosocial functioning of both children and their parents. In order to provide a successful therapy, it is necessary to control for its psychosocial consequences, monitoring it with epilepsy-specific inventories. The Impact of Pediatric Epilepsy Scale (IPES) is a short parental inventory for children between 2 and 18 years old. A Polish version of the inventory was created and its psychometric properties were measured in the group of 36 parents of epileptic children. The reliability of the scale was high (Cronbach's alpha = 0.85). Its validity was confirmed by significant correlations with clinical measures of child's health. All psychometric properties of the Polish adaptation were comparable to those of the original scale. A short Polish inventory was created that measures the impact of childhood epilepsy on psychosocial functioning. It has good psychometric properties and can be recommended for scientific use. .

Recent findings indicate that the high arousal and/or anxiety during the traumatic events attract attention in an extreme degree and this shift of attention may produce the dissociative states. The important findings in the study of traumatic stress represent data that indicate common neurophysiological mechanisms of traumatic stress, anxiety and epileptogenesis. These findings imply that complex functions of cognitive-emotional integration are closely linked to the defective inhibitory functions and often lead to the temporo-limbic epileptiform abnormalities which may emerge as the symptoms of ictal temporal lobe epilepsy such as the somatic, sensory, behavioral and memory symptoms also in the nonepileptic conditions (the so-called complex partial seizure-like symptoms). In this study we have performed preliminary clinical examination in the epileptic patients with the aim to assess whether the so-called the complex partial seizure-like symptoms, are significantly related to dissociation, traumatic symptoms, anxiety and depression. The resuls indicate the significant differences of the psychodiagnostic measures between the epileptic patients and healthy control group. A very significant degree of psychopathology has been found in the patients included in the subgroup of the patients with a high level of the complex partial seizure-like symptoms. The data support the hypothesis that the symptoms of temporal lobe epilepsy in the epileptic patients display a relationship to the traumatic stress related symptoms and anxiety. This suggests a bidirectional relationship between traumatic stress-related hyperexcitability and increased stress susceptibility associated with the epileptiform abnormalities.
