Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Medical Education
  • Social Science

Context:

  • Social challenges significantly impact individuals with epilepsy.
  • Understanding community attitudes towards epilepsy is essential for support.
  • Existing knowledge gaps among educators may exacerbate social stigma.

Purpose:

  • To assess the knowledge and attitudes of educators regarding epilepsy.
  • To identify areas for improved epilepsy education within academic settings.

Summary:

  • A questionnaire-based study surveyed primary, high-school, and university professors (medical and non-medical).
  • Findings indicate a significant deficit in epilepsy knowledge among educators.
  • This lack of knowledge contributes to social difficulties faced by people with epilepsy.
