Evidence-Based Teaching Plan Title: Psychogenic Nonepileptic seizures Health Care Need – PNES are events that can look like seizures but happen due to psychological triggers. It is more common among women then man, and teenagers over younger children. According to a Cleveland Clinic article, the only proving treatment for PNES is psychotherapy. Target Audience – PNES can develop at any age but is most common between ages 15 and 35. It is more common in women, and particularly in women who have been victims of abuse. Psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). So the target audience for this project is high school teachers. To be educated on what PNES is and what action to take or avoid in case of an episode. Barriers to Learning – Counseling is the best intervention; antidepressants are often found necessary to treat PNES. However, family background and belief could prevent the pursuit of counseling. Some reasons many people don’t seek mental health treatment:  Judgement: scared that if they seek help their peers might see them as broken.  Doubt: Fear that parents and teachers may think that they’re faking the episodes.  Misinformation: previously misdiagnosed with Epilepsy and not knowing the difference between the disease’s characteristics. Learning Outcomes – The learning goal of this presentation is to spread awareness on how to manage a PNES episode. Some of the ways to evaluate learning outcomes includes:  Teach back technique.  Short quiz after presentation.  Give the opportunity to students and teachers to ask questions. Method of Content Presentation – My target population is high school teachers. Educate them about steps to take if/when an episode occurs. I’m using power point slides as a method of learning. Method of Evaluating the Learning Outcomes – My teaching project is intended for high school teachers.
