Types of Epilepsy Curricula and Their Effectiveness: A Global Scoping Review Protocol of School-Based Educational Interventions

Résumé

Epilepsy affects approximately 70 million people globally, with nearly 80% living in low- and middle-income countries. From 1990 to 2021, childhood idiopathic epilepsy cases increased by 26.34%. Despite treatment advancements, stigma, fear, and misconceptions, especially in schools, hinder the inclusion of learners with epilepsy. School-based educational interventions have emerged as a vital strategy to raise awareness and reduce stigma. This scoping review aims to identify and map the types of epilepsy-related curricula in primary and secondary schools and special education settings worldwide, evaluating their effectiveness. Using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology, a comprehensive search strategy will be implemented across electronic databases and grey literature sources. Eligible studies will include various research designs focusing on educational interventions for learners, educators, or school communities. Study selection and data extraction will be performed independently by two reviewers, with a third reviewer resolving any disagreements. The findings will be synthesized through thematic analysis. The review is expected to reveal significant variation in the design and evaluation of epilepsy curricula, with many lacking standardized implementations. It aims to inform the development of relevant and scalable education strategies, ultimately supporting inclusive, equitable, and stigma-free learning environments for students with epilepsy.
