Thus, a hierarchical regression analysis was conducted using data obtained from 161 who were willing to be engaged in this research among 342 who were officially registered in Daegu Metropolitan City as the epilepsy-disabled. As a result of the final regression analysis. disableness and drug use among health- and disableness-related factors as well as stigma, self-respect, and social support among socio-psychological factors turned out to significantly have effects on lives of the epilepsy-disabled. That is, the less severely-disabled, the less frequently-drug used, the fewer stigma-experienced. the higher self-respectful and the more social support they receive, results found that the epilepsy-disabled were more likely to enjoy a higher-quality of lives.
