Objective To investigate the impact of individualized health education on the negative emotion of patients with epilepsy. Methods 64 cases with epilepsy were randomly divided into experimental group and control group(32 cases for each group). The conventional health education was adopted in the control group and the individualized health education was applied to the experimental group, using Zung self-rating anxiety scale(SAS), Self-rating depression scale(SDS) in both groups to make an assessment of the patients when they were admitted to hospital and in the 4th week. Results The comparison of the scores of anxiety and depression were not significantly different between the two groups before education(P >0.05); after health education, the differences were statistically significant in the comparison of the scores of anxiety and depression between the two groups(P <0.05). Conclusion The individualized health education applied to the patients with epilepsy can relieve their negative emotion.
