A questionnaire survey undertaken among 169 Danish primary school teachers revealed a comparatively good general understanding of epilepsy. Sixty-five percent had taught pupils with epilepsy and 78% had witnessed a child having a fit. Only 18% had attended courses on epilepsy, despite 63% stating a desire for training. Only 5% of the teachers judged their present knowledge on the subject as being sufficient. A considerable lack of confidence and knowledge on issues such as provoking factors, surveillance and management including medical treatment was found. The survey revealed a good understanding of restrictions that might be imposed on children with epilepsy. Only 18% of the teachers thought that children with epilepsy in general have learning problems. To achieve an optimal care for children with epilepsy a sufficient knowledge and confidence is necessary. It is recommended that education concerning epilepsy is introduced for teachers that have pupils with epilepsy in their classes. Such education might be provided by the local health services.
一项针对169名丹麦小学教师开展的问卷调查显示，他们对癫痫的总体了解程度相对较好。65%的教师教过患有癫痫的学生，78%的教师目睹过孩子癫痫发作。尽管63%的教师表示希望接受培训，但只有18%的教师参加过癫痫相关课程。只有5%的教师认为自己目前对该主题的知识足够。在诱发因素、监测和管理（包括医疗治疗）等问题上，存在相当大的信心和知识不足。调查显示，教师们对可能施加给癫痫儿童的限制有较好的理解。只有18%的教师认为癫痫儿童一般存在学习问题。为了实现对癫痫儿童的最佳护理，充足的知识和信心是必要的。建议为班级中有癫痫学生的教师开展癫痫相关教育。这种教育可由当地卫生服务机构提供。
