Developing guidelines for nursing management of epilepsy in Ghanaian schools.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The absence of guidelines for the nursing management of individuals living with epilepsy, who are students in Ghana, has resulted in the high dropout rates of such students. It is our hope, that in the near future, these individuals living with epilepsy will receive the needed attention, experience less stigmatization and discrimination. This, we expect, will result in better retention of such students in schools, improved academic performance and successful graduation. To achieve this, there is the need to develop appropriate guidelines and implement same for their benefit. In line with this, the study aims to develop guidelines for nurses to manage individuals living with epilepsy in Ghanaian schools.
