Training Program to Improve EEG Competence

Implementation of a Training Program to Improve EEG Competence in Neurocritical Care Nursing and Non-Physician Treatment Teams for the Recognition of Epileptiform and Ictal Patterns (EPI-TRAIN: EEG Training for the Detection of Pathological Ictal Patterns in Neurocritical Care)

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the extent to which a practice-oriented training program for intensive care nursing staff and non-physician treatment teams can contribute to the earlier detection of epileptic seizures, with particular emphasis on SE.

Further objectives include enhancing competence in EEG interpretation and minimizing existing communication and procedural barriers within the interdisciplinary treatment team.

Participants will participate in a half-day training session, which will include:

• attending a specialist lecture,
• completing two knowledge assessments and one evaluation questionnaire,
• completing an additional brief evaluation questionnaire after one month, and
• completing a further brief evaluation questionnaire after three months to assess the sustainability of the learning outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria:

• neurocritical care nursing staff and non-physician treatment teams at the Neurocritical Care Units of Marburg University Hospital

Exclusion Criteria:

• under 18 years old
