“…This study revealed that the clinical nurses obtained a mean score of 55.43 ± 6.59 on the epilepsy attitude scale, which shows that they generally have a positive attitude toward patients with epilepsy. Similar to our study result, Toli et al [17] determined that school nurses working at Greek schools had a positive attitude toward individuals with epilepsy. In another study, it was reported that health-care professionals had lower scores on the epilepsy attitude scale compared with the scores obtained in our study [19].…”

Comparing this result with previous studies in international literature concerning nurses, the mean scores on epilepsy knowledge were similar [17,18,23]. In our study, the clinical nurses had a good level of epilepsy knowledge, which is encouraging.…”

“…First, lack of knowledge was a perceived barrier to school health care. School nurses showed a lack of full knowledge on epilepsy, in the sense that they were proficient about some aspects, and did not know other facets (Toli, Sourtzi, Tsoumakas, & Kalokerinou‐Anagnostopoulou, 2013); they also lacked knowledge about modern devices for diabetes treatment (March et al, 2020). School nurses also reported lacking awareness related to psychogenic non‐epileptic events (Terry & Trott, 2019) and existing asthma action plans (Gibson‐Young, Waldrop, Lindahl, & Buckner, 2020), information required for seizure management (Terry et al, 2016; Terry & Trott, 2019), and medical emergency preparedness (Toli et al, 2013).…”

Second, school nurses reported low confidence in caring for children with chronic diseases, and showed low confidence in diagnosing and managing student's diseases in specific medical emergencies (Allen, Henselman, Laird, Quiñones, & Reutzel, 2012; Morris et al, 2011), providing diabetes education (Williams, Russ, & Perdue, 2019), and developing specific skills for seizures (Terry et al, 2016).…”
