management teaching on improving caregiver competence and reported confidence with managing seizures. The authors hypothesized that simulation-based education would lead to a higher level of demonstrated competence and reported confidence in family members and caregivers. Simulation has not been previously studied in this context. Methods: A two-group pre- and post-test experimental research design involving a total of 61 caregivers was used. The intervention was a simulation-based seizure curriculum delivered as a supplement to traditional seizure discharge teaching. Caregiver performance was analyzed using a seizure management checklist. Caregivers’ perception of self-efficacy was captured using a self-efficacy questionnaire. Results: Caregivers in the experimental group achieved significantly higher postintervention performance scores than caregivers in the control group in both premedication and postmedication seizure management (P
