National Survey of Physical Activity and Sports in Adults Living with Epilepsy

What this Trial Is About

This research focuses on adults with epilepsy, a condition marked by neurological seizures that can cause lasting challenges and social stigma. The study aims to understand how psychological factors like anxiety, stigma, and illness identity influence physical activity levels in people with epilepsy, as well as how physical activity identity interacts with these factors. Improving physical activity is important because it can enhance quality of life, social participation, and reduce stress and seizure frequency. Participants will complete an online questionnaire that assesses their physical and sports activity levels. This questionnaire is administered twice, once at the start and again after six months, to observe changes or maintenance in physical activity over time. The study is observational and does not involve any drug or device treatments. During the study, participants are asked to complete the same questionnaire twice, six months apart. Researchers will measure maintained physical activity between the initial and six-month assessments. The study will also consider the effects of psychological and social factors on physical activity engagement. Participation involves self-reporting through the questionnaire, with no other interventions or medical procedures involved.
