| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As the percentage of students with epilepsy (SWE) studying at institutions of higher education increases, there is a need for medical, educational, and lifestyle support at institutions of higher educations. This study surveyed university health centers at 506 member universities of the Japan University Health Association, university teachers in 22 faculties of 9 universities nationwide, and teachers in elementary, junior high, and high schools to determine the actual situation of dealing with SWE. In the past five years, 122/203 centers (60.1%) had helped students who had a seizure, and 23.4% of university teachers witnessed seizures in students after becoming teachers. Sixty percent of university and elementary/junior high/high school teachers had concerns and worries about interacting with SWE. It is necessary to develop an educational environment where teachers can acquire the correct knowledge and skills regarding epilepsy and management of seizures.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
大学や専門学校などへ進学する学生が増え、大学進学を希望するてんかんのある学生も多い。高等教育機関に進学したてんかんのある学生も、てんかんのある児童生徒と同様な課題を抱えている。2016年4月に施行された障害者差別解消法において、てんかんのある学生への合理的配慮が求められ、高等教育機関においてもより一層の支援が必要とされる。高等教育機関でてんかんのある学生が修学し、時にてんかん発作を起こす学生が存在すること、さらにてんかんのある学生対応に不安を感じる教員も多いことが示された。高等教育機関でてんかんに対する正しい知識やてんかん発作に対応できる教育環境の整備の必要性を明らかにした。
