“…Based on the prehospital delay phases identified in the literature and findings from the pilot study (Potisopha et al, 2020), the total prehospital delay was divided into the following five phases: (a) Pre-recognition: the last known normal time to the time that the patient/bystander recognized the symptoms; (b) Decision delay: the time of symptom onset or symptom recognition/discovery to the time a decision or judgment was reached or made to seek treatment or call EMS; (c) Waiting delay: the time of post-decision to seek treatment to the departure time from the scene; (d) Transportation delay: the departure time to the time of arrival at the first hospital; and (e) Referral delay: the time the patients arrived at the initial/first hospital to the time the patient reached the ED of a stroke center facility. The delay times for each phase, including pre-recognition, decision, waiting, and transportation, were obtained from the patient interviews and medical records.…”

“…Prior to implementing the study, we conducted a pilot to test the feasibility of accessing research participants and the acceptability of the research instruments. Ten acute stroke patients were interviewed in a face-to-face approach (Potisopha et al, 2020). They were recruited within 3–49 hours after ED admission and were able to complete all five questionnaires in a face-to-face interview.…”
