Pages

  130-135

Abstract

 Background: EPILEPSY comprised the highest proportion of neurological problem of childhood stage, which observed mostly in the first decade of life. The dramatic effect of having a seizure in the classroom can be very traumatic for any child. The KNOWLEDGE and ATTITUDE of TEACHERS toward EPILEPSY have a direct impact on the life of STUDENTS with EPILEPSY.Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted in Kermanshah (West of Iran). 305 TEACHERS from 25 public schools were randomly participated in this study. The questionnaire included 39 items and three sections (demographic information, KNOWLEDGE, and ATTITUDE about EPILEPSY). Results: In this study, 97% participants had heard or read about EPILEPSY. ATTITUDE and KNOWLEDGE about EPILEPSY was positive in weighted sum of the item responses, but there were deficits in individual items and first-aid management of seizure attacks. There was no meaningful relationship between ATTITUDE scores and demographic items, but higher level of education, female gender, and marital status had a positive influence on TEACHERS’ KNOWLEDGE toward children with EPILEPSY.Conclusion: The main findings indicated a good KNOWLEDGE and positive ATTITUDE about EPILEPSY among school’s TEACHERS. Nevertheless, there is still a need to improve certain aspects of KNOWLEDGE and ATTITUDE and first aid management of an epileptic attack among TEACHERS.
