  Effects of Teach-Back intervention on teachers’ epilepsy knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, and first aid practices

  Gürçayır, Dilek; Karabulut, Neziha; Söylemez, Nilgün

  Purpose: This study investigates not only the impact of first aid training but also how the Teach-Back method influences teachers’ overall epilepsy knowledge, attitudes toward epilepsy, and self-efficacy in managing epileptic seizures. Methods: A total of 166 preschool teachers who filled out the questionnaire form and gave their consent were included in the study between April and June 2022. A quasiexperimental single-group pre-test post-test design was used in the study, Data were collected using the questionnaire form, Epilepsy Knowledge Scale, Childhood Epilepsy Attitude Scale and General Self-Efficacy Scale. The research data were collected by the researchers through face-to-face interviews. Results: It was determined that the rate of correct answers given by preschool teachers to most questions about first aid practices in epileptic seizures increased significantly after the training (p < 0.05). There was a significant improvement in preschool teachers’ first aid practices at the end of the training compared to before the training. The mean score of the Epilepsy Knowledge Scale before the training was 11.16 ± 4.04, after the training was 14.59 ± 2.08, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). The mean Childhood Epilepsy Attitude Scale score before the training was 47.90 ± 4.02, after the training was 51.53 ± 4.55, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Epilepsy education significantly improved teachers’ knowledge and attitudes towards childhood epilepsy. However, the increase in general self-efficacy remained limited. This situation reveals the necessity of practical and long-term programs in addition to theoretical education.

  Kasimoğlu, Necla; Gürarslan Baş, Nazan

  Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between parental attitudes toward childhood epilepsy and spiritual orientations. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted online between May and July 2022 with 417 parents residing in the eastern part of Turkey. Data were collected using a descriptive information form, the Social Attitudes Scale toward Childhood Epilepsies, and the Spiritual Orientation Scale. The obtained data were analyzed using the SPSS software package, employing descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, as well as inferential statistics including independent samples t-test, ANOVA, multiple linear regression and correlation tests. Results: The Total Social Attitudes Scale Score toward Childhood Epilepsies was calculated as 45.10 ± 7.81, and the Spiritual Orientation Scale Score was 89.88 ± 30.30 for parents with an average age of 36.64 ± 8.26. It was found statistically significant and high (p > 0.05) for parents who are female, have a higher level of education, and have previously received education about epilepsy regarding both the Total Social Attitudes Scale Score toward Childhood Epilepsies and the Spiritual Orientation Scale Score. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between the Total Social Attitudes Scale Score toward Childhood Epilepsies and the Spiritual Orientation Scale Score. Conclusion: According to the findings of the research, parents' attitudes towards childhood epilepsy are positive, and their spiritual orientation levels are high. As parents' spiritual orientation levels increase, their positive attitudes towards childhood epilepsy also increase.
