“…The results of this study are similar to those obtained by the other researchers working with stroke patients [25][26][27][32][33][34] or the general public [21][22][23][24][41][42][43], demonstrating a lack of knowledge of the stroke-related warning signs, and how to act in a possible event of a stroke. In this situation, the patients might delay seeking assistance and arrive late at the hospital, which would have important repercussions in regard to their final prognosis, in terms of dependency and disability.…”

“…There is not much uniformity in the results of the research studies in terms of the participants, the definition of knowledge and the methodology used, which creates difficulty in making comparisons. The participants may be from the general public [21,43,45,46], the patients who had experienced a stroke [25][26][27]32], or those who were at serious risk of suffering a stroke [33,47]. The type of questionnaires used in the previous studies, with questions ranging from open-ended questions [27,32,34] to multiple-choice options from with the patient has to identify and select the correct answer(s) [25,26,33,47], may exert an influence on the results, underestimating or overestimating the real level of knowledge that the patients have.…”

“…Most of the previous studies have aimed at assessing community knowledge regarding the stroke-associated RFs, warning signs, and the attitudes intended to be undertaken when such an event is suspected [21][22][23][24]. Although, a smaller number of studies assessing these aspects specifically in the patients that have experienced a stroke are also available in the literature [25][26][27].…”

Background: There is a pressing need to contribute evidence to the improvement in the early identification of signs and symptoms associated with strokes, and address the treatment-seeking delays. The objective of this study is to describe the knowledge regarding the warning signs and risk factors (RFs) among stroke patients, as well as of their attitudes toward a suspected event, and the analysis of its possible relationship with the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of these patients. Method: A cross-sectional study was designed, in which all stroke patients admitted consecutively to the Burgos University Hospital (Spain) were included. The principal outcomes were the patient’s ability to identify two RFs and two warning signs and the patient’s hypothetical response to a possible stroke event. The possible factors associated with the knowledge of warning signs, RFs, and the correct response to a new event were studied using univariate and multivariate regression analysis. Results: A total of 529 patients were included. Having a higher education level or a history of prior stroke were associated with a greater degree of knowledge of warning signs (odds ratio (OR) 3.19, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.70–5.74, p = 0.003; OR 3.54, 95%CI 2.09–5.99, p ≤ 0.001, respectively), RFs (OR 3.15, 95%CI 1.75–5.67, p = 0.008; OR 4.08, 95%CI 2.41–6.91, p = 0.002, respectively), and the correct response to a possible stroke (OR 1.82, 95%CI 1.16–2.86; p = 0.030; OR 2.11, 95%CI 1.29–3.46, p = 0.022, respectively). Conclusion: Knowledge of warning signs or stroke RFs is low in the hospitalized patients. A previous stroke or secondary/higher education levels are the predictor factors that increase the probability of knowledge of warning signs, RFs, or reaction to possible event.

“…El apoyo te-lefónico de los cuidadores de ictus mejora la calidad de vida de los pacientes [19]. Mediante el teléfono se han auditado unidades de ictus y se ha medido el conocimiento de factores de riesgo y de signos de alarma de ictus [20]. Para confeccionar un registro nacional de ictus en los Países Bajos, la encuesta telefónica fue más cara, pero más eficaz, que la postal [21].…”

Background: The stroke burden in India is very high, and its incidence has been rising over the past few decades. Acute stroke is a time-sensitive emergency and requires identifying warning signs and seeking medical attention to prevent mortality and morbidity. Knowing its risk factors, accurately identifying warning signs, and seeking medical attention within a timeline is challenging to avoid secondary complications. Objective: To assess the knowledge of risk factors, warning signs, and immediate response to stroke among patients attending the general outpatient department (OPD) and find out the relationship of knowledge with selected socio-demographic and clinical variables of the patients. Material and Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 patients attending the general outpatient department (OPD) recruited consecutively after meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Demographic profile, clinical profile, and knowledge questionnaire on risk factors, warning signs, and response to stroke were used to gather the data. Consent was taken from the patient after obtaining the ethical clearance. Results: Nearly half of the patients (43.5%) had very good knowledge, and almost the same number (43%) had good knowledge about stroke risk factors. The participants identified the most common risk factors for stroke: hypertension (77%) and excessive alcohol consumption (73%). Most patients (92.5%) have poor knowledge about warning signs, and only 7% had adequate knowledge. The most common stroke warning sign described by participants was 'confusion and slurred speech' identified by 17%. All patients were aware of seeking medical attention within 72 hours. Still, none of them knew about the golden timeline (3 hours), its importance, and thrombolytic therapy as a selective stroke treatment during the golden timeline. There is no association between participants' knowledge of stroke risk factors and warning signs and socioeconomic, clinical, and source of information variables (p<.05). Conclusion: Most patients have better knowledge about risk factors but lack warning signs and immediate response to stroke irrespective of their socioeconomic, clinical, and source of receiving stroke-related information. Hospitals must galvanize the efforts to disseminate stroke-related information involving nursing staff to organize different educational strategies in OPDs.
