Abstract:
Epilepsy is a common neurological condition affecting primary school learners, often leading to misconceptions, stigma, and limited social inclusion. These misconceptions transpire because of a lack of knowledge regarding the condition and may lead to high school dropouts. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of epilepsy education programs on epilepsy-related knowledge and understanding, values and attitudes, and skills among primary school learners. A thorough search of electronic databases was conducted to identify relevant studies published between January 2000 and September 2023. Studies that satisfied the eligibility criteria were chosen, and two reviewers conducted data extraction independently. A narrative synthesis approach was utilised to analyse the findings. The review included 10 studies that satisfied the inclusion requirements. The epilepsy education interventions varied in content, duration, and delivery method. Findings indicated that diverse delivery methods, such as classroom-based programs, hospital-based programs, and community-centred interventions, effectively enhanced epilepsy-related knowledge and understanding, values and attitudes, and skills among primary school learners. This systematic review provides evidence that epilepsy education programs can effectively enhance epilepsy-related knowledge, understanding, values, attitudes, and skills among primary school learners. These findings support developing and implementing comprehensive guidelines for teaching epilepsy in primary schools, suggesting various delivery methods and integrating cultural values to promote optimal learning outcomes and social inclusion for learners with epilepsy.
摘要:
癫痫是影响小学学习者的常见神经系统疾病,经常导致误解,污名,有限的社会包容。由于缺乏对这种状况的了解,这些误解得以传播,并可能导致高中辍学。本系统评价旨在评价癫痫教育项目对癫痫相关知识和认识的有效性,价值观和态度,和小学学习者的技能。对电子数据库进行了彻底搜索,以确定2000年1月至2023年9月之间发表的相关研究。选择了满足资格标准的研究,两名评审员独立进行数据提取。采用叙事综合方法分析研究结果。审查包括10项符合纳入要求的研究。癫痫教育干预的内容各不相同,持续时间,和交货方式。调查结果表明,不同的交付方式,例如以课堂为基础的课程,以医院为基础的项目,以及以社区为中心的干预措施,有效增强癫痫相关知识和理解,价值观和态度,和小学学习者的技能。此系统综述提供了癫痫教育计划可以有效增强癫痫相关知识的证据。理解,值,态度,和小学学习者的技能。这些发现支持制定和实施小学癫痫教学的综合指引,建议各种交付方法和整合文化价值观,以促进癫痫学习者的最佳学习成果和社会包容。
