摘要
Purpose: Prolonged seizures can cause severe harm and even death. For seizures lasting longer than 5 min, an administration of rescue medication is therefore recommended. Caregivers such as preschool teachers should be able to administer correctly anticonvulsive rescue medication to children. Methods: A training concept for preschool teachers on seizure management focussing on practical skills was developed. To assess the success of the training, a structured interview on attitudes relating to rescue medication administration was conducted. The number of committed errors during administration of a rectal/buccal rescue medication to dummy dolls was compared before and after training. Results: 210 teachers from 115 preschools participated while all teachers from 303 preschools had been invited. The self-reported level of confidence in their own skills to administer anticonvulsive rescue medication increased from 5 to 8 on a scale from 1 to 10 (p<0.001). The number of participants who agreed to administer rescue medication rose from 195/210 (92.8%) before training to 209/210 (99.5%, p < 0.001) after training for the rectal route, and from 173/210 (82.4%) to 209/210 (99.5%, p < 0.001) for the buccal route. For teachers who administered rescue medication before and after training, the number of administrations without any administration errors rose from 1/195 (0.5%) to 117/195 (60.0%, p < 0.001) for the rectal route, and from 13/173 (7.5%) to 95/173 (54.9%, p<0.001) for the buccal route. Conclusion: A training for preschool teachers boosted the level of self-confidence relating to administration of anticonvulsive rescue medication. Teachers also committed fewer errors when administering rescue medication to dummy dolls. (C) 2017 British Epilepsy Association. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
