- 基于发帖长度、情感和可读性构建新互动指标F(P)。
- 39.75%的帖子显示严重抑郁症状，驾驶与职场问题突出。
- 适合关注神经精神共病与数字健康干预的研究者。
Reddit的r/Epilepsy社区提供了癫痫患者（PWE）及其照护者经历的独特视角。本研究分析了5.7万篇帖子和53.3万条评论，探索年龄、性别及关系等人口统计学特征下的关键主题。研究发现，癫痫相关挑战讨论广泛，包括抑郁（39.75%的帖子显示严重症状）、驾驶限制、职场顾虑以及女性患者的孕产问题。我们提出一种新型参与度指标F(P)，结合发帖长度、情感评分和可读性，量化社区互动。该分析凸显了整合神经与心理健康照护的重要性，为针对性支持与意识提升策略提供依据。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Social media platforms, particularly Reddit's r/Epilepsy community, offer a unique perspective into the experiences of individuals with epilepsy (PWE) and their caregivers. This study analyzes 57k posts and 533k comments to explore key themes across demographics such as age, gender, and relationships. Our findings highlight significant discussions on epilepsy-related challenges, including depression (with 39.75\% of posts indicating severe symptoms), driving restrictions, workplace concerns, and pregnancy-related issues in women with epilepsy. We introduce a novel engagement metric, F(P), which incorporates post length, sentiment scores, and readability to quantify community interaction. This analysis underscores the importance of integrated care addressing both neurological and mental health challenges faced by PWE. The insights from this study inform strategies for targeted support and awareness interventions.
