    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Pediatric Epilepsy Management
    • School Health Initiatives

    Background:

    • Epilepsy affects numerous children, necessitating effective management strategies within educational settings.
    • Current practices for managing childhood epilepsy in schools often lack standardized protocols.
    • A gap exists in accessible epilepsy education for school staff.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of an epilepsy education program on school staff's knowledge and seizure management skills.
    • To assess the implementation status of individual seizure protocols for students with epilepsy in Southampton schools.
    • To identify areas for improvement in supporting children with epilepsy in primary and secondary schools.

    Main Methods:

    • A questionnaire survey was administered to staff in 19 primary and 10 secondary schools in Southampton.

  • Knowledge and seizure management practices were assessed before and after an educational intervention.
  • The study measured the adoption rate of individual seizure protocols for students with epilepsy.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant improvements were observed in specific areas of seizure management and staff knowledge following the education initiative.
    • A low initial adoption rate of individual seizure protocols was noted, with only three primary schools having one in place.
    • Several schools (two primary, four secondary) were in the process of implementing these crucial protocols.

    Conclusions:

    • The epilepsy education initiative demonstrated a positive effect on staff knowledge and seizure management capabilities.
    • Widespread implementation of individual seizure protocols for all children with epilepsy in schools remains a challenge.
    • Continued efforts are essential to ensure comprehensive seizure management support for students with epilepsy in educational environments.
