Abstract
Objective : to identify the factors influencing the stigmatization in patients with epilepsy. Patients and methods. The investigation enrolled 71 epileptic patients aged 14 to 50 years. They were divided into two age groups: 30 adolescents aged 14–17 years and 41 adults aged 18–50 years. Results and discussion. Examinations of 71 patients with epilepsy could identify 4 factors influencing their stigmatization: individual traits; activity and relations in the group; the effect of a drug and its adherence in patients; relationships in the family and its response to the disease. The authors’ new screening procedure was employed to determine the leading causes of stigmatization for each age group and to show differences in the specific features of stigmatization (the leading factor of stigmatization) in patients of different age. The major factor of stigmatization in the epileptic adolescents was found to be relationships in the family and its response to the disease. Its chief cause in the adults was their principal activity (studies at a higher education establishment or work) and group relations. The epileptic patients were shown to need psychological care. The developed screening procedure will be useful in planning psycho-correction measures and rehabilitation programs.

Summary
Пациенты были разделены на две возрастные группы: 30 подростков 14–17 лет и 41 взрослый пациент 18–50 лет. В ходе обследования 71 пациента с эпилепсией нами было выделено 4 фактора, влияющих на стигматизацию пациентов: индивидуальные особенности, деятельность и взаимоотношения в группе, влияние препарата и отношение пациента к приему препарата, взаимоотношения в семье и реакция семьи на болезнь. Установлено, что основным фактором стигматизации у подростков с эпилепсией являются взаимоотношения в семье и реакция семьи на болезнь. The investigation enrolled 71 epileptic patients aged 14 to 50 years They were divided into two age groups: 30 adolescents aged 14–17 years and 41 adults aged 18–50 years. Григорьевой была разработана методика для выявления основного стигматизирующего фактора у пациентов с эпилепсией, которая должна помочь в психокоррекционной работе, а также при составлении реабилитационных программ. Пациенты были разделены на две возрастные группы: 30 подростков с эпилепсией (14–17 лет) и 41 взрослый (18–50 лет). Тест на выявление ведущего фактора стигматизации при эпилепсии (скрининговая методика)
