Education Research: Educating Child Neurology Residents About Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Background and Objectives: Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are difficult to differentiate from epileptic seizures (ES) even for neurologists who see these conditions frequently. This difficulty is due to overlapping semiologic findings between the 2 diagnoses. Previous studies have shown that trainees, including neurology trainees, are not accurate in differentiating PNES from ES. Neurologists often find the communication of PNES difficult. Despite these challenges, most programs do not have formal curricula for teaching PNES, and there are no standards for residency curricula in this topic. The aim of this study was to understand the gaps in resident education on PNES. Methods: This study was accomplished through a needs assessment of current pediatric neurology residents and residency program directors (PDs). Two unique surveys were distributed, 1 for child neurology trainees and 1 for PDs. Questions were designed to understand trainees' self-reported knowledge, confidence, current education received, and desired teaching. Similarly for PDs, questions were designed to assess the state of education on PNES at their programs, sufficiency of education, and their desire for standardized curriculum. Results: Sixty-eight trainees and 21 PDs responded to the survey. Approximately one-quarter of trainees reported neutral to low levels of confidence and 38% reported neutral to low levels of knowledge in caring for patients with PNES. Trainees reported that directing patients with PNES to appropriate management was the most challenging aspect of care, followed by communicating the diagnosis, with 60% and 46% reporting difficulty, respectively. Only 21% of residents felt their current PNES education needs no improvement. One-fifth of PDs felt their current PNES education is not sufficient, and all reported they would incorporate a standardized curriculum. Trainees reported preferring to learn about this topic through lectures and simulation, while PDs preferred online modules and simulation. Discussion: While residents and PDs report high confidence and knowledge in treating pediatric patients with PNES, respondents felt improvement is needed to their curricula regarding this topic. Multiple learning methods are preferred, with emphasis on communicating the diagnosis and management of patients once the diagnosis has been made. PDs desire a standardized curriculum and would incorporate one into their programs. Findings of this study could be used to create a national curriculum.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
