Abstract

Objective:: Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent neurological disorders, the contracting of which causes numerous
physical, psychological, and social consequences. However, there are a number of defense mechanisms humans
possess, which are responsible for protecting an individual against the stress, anxieties, and pressures of everyday life.
Accordingly, the present study was undertaken with the aim of investigating the comparison of defense mechanisms
in a group of women with temporal lobe epilepsy against a non-clinical group of females.
Methods:The research design of the present study was based on a causal-comparative case study. The statistical
population of the study consisted of all epileptic women and their normal counterparts who had referred to Imam
Hossein Hospital in Tehran during the first half of 2019. The sample population included 40 female patients already
diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy by neurologists through electroencephalography who were randomly
selected and compared to their 40 normal counterparts. The two studied groups were similar in terms of age, education,
and marital status. Research data were gathered using the Andrews Defense Mechanism Questionnaire (DSQ40) and
analyzed by the SPSS24 software program employing multivariate statistical analysis of variance.
Results: There was a significant difference (p <0.05) between the defense mechanism used in epileptic women and
healthy women.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that women with epilepsy have different defense mechanisms and are more likely
to use immature mechanisms and neurotic defense mechanisms (only in terms of False Altruism) when compared to
normal women

Abstract [Persian]

زمینه و هدف :مکانیسم های دفاعی ،وظیفه محافظت از (من) در برابر ناملایمات و اضطراب ها و فشار های روزمره زندگی را بر عهده دارند و تحت تاثیر سازه های مختلف شخصیتی ممکن است کنش وری بهنجار یا نابهنجار داشته باشند. پژوهش حاضر با هدف بررسی مکانیسم های دفاعی بیماران مبتلا به صرع لوب گیجگاهی و گروه غیر بالینی انجام گرفت.
مواد و روش: طرح پژوهش توصیفی از نوع علی_مقایسه ای بود. جامعه آماری پژوهش از کلیه زنان مبتلا به صرع و همتایان عادی مراجعه کننده به بیمارستان امام حسین از نیمه اول سال 1398 تشکیل شده بود. نمونه پژوهش به تعداد 40 نفر از میان زنان مبتلا به صرع انتخاب شدند و در مقایسه با 40 نفر از همتایان عادی قرار گرفتند، به طوری که از نظر سن، تحصیلات، وضعیت تاهل دو گروه مورد مطالعه با یکدیگر مشابه بودند. داده های پژوهش با استفاده از پرسشنامه های مکانیسم دفاعی اندروز (DSQ40) جمع آوری گردید و توسط نرم افزار SPSS24 با روش آماری تحلیل واریانس چند متغیره مورد تجریه و تحلیل قرار گرفت.
یافته ها: بین سبک مکانیزم دفاعی مورد استفاده در زنان مبتلا به صرع با زنان سالم تفاوت، معناداری (05/0P <) وجود دارد، به طوری که زنان مبتلا به صرع از مکانیزم های دفاعی رشد نایافته و نوروتیک بیشتری استفاده می‌کنند.
نتیجه گیری: بدین ترتیب می توان نتیجه گرفت که زنان مبتلا به صرع لوب گیجگاهی در مقایسه با زنان عادی سبک دفاعی متفاوتی دارند و بیشتر از مکانیزم های رشد نایافته استفاده می کنند،
