Empowering seizure management skills: Knowledge, attitudes, and experiences of school staff trained in administering rescue drugs in Northern Italy.

CONCLUSION: Results suggest that medical training for school staff increases knowledge scores and levels of self-confidence relating to the administration of rescue medication. Moreover, after the training, the school staff changed attitude toward seizures, no longer considering them a problem, and became more aware, less fearful, and more inclined to act in case of need, making school a better place for all students.
