Makkah female teachers' knowledge of seizure first aid

摘要

Background: Epilepsy is a common disorder in Saudi Arabia, with a prevalence of 6.54/1000 people. Most patients with epilepsy in the country are younger than 19 years of age, and thus, many occurrences of epileptic seizures can occur in schools. As such, teachers are often faced with the challenge of responding to the attack and providing first aid and post-event care to the child with epilepsy.
