| Abstract: | PURPOSE: Addressing stigma towards epilepsy in educational settings is a key step in ensuring an improvement of the quality of life of young per-sons with epilepsy. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of training courses in reducing the perceived stigma by a group of educators, by using the stigma scale of epilepsy (SSE). METHOD: Educators who attended an in-service 3 day course on epilepsy were asked to fill in the SSE, at the beginning of the course and at the end. The SSE scale used contained questions about the individual perception of epilepsy. Participants were asked to check the most appropriate class of answers for each item. [excerpt] |
