Introduction: Stroke is the most common cerebrovascular disease and the third most common cause of disability in the world. The study aimed to assess the knowledge of nurses in emergency departments based on evidence-based care guidelines in the acute phase of ischemic stroke. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was performed on 129 nurses working in emergency departments of 16 hospitals of Guilan University of Medical Sciences in 2017. Samples were selected randomly. The study tool was a questionnaire with 10 multiple choice questions about the care of acute phase of ischemic stroke patients. Data were analyzed by SPSS software ver. 21 using descriptive tests, ANOVA, T-test, Chi-square. Results: The mean of the participants’ knowledge about acute phase of ischemic stroke care was 40.07 ± 16.46. The highest response rate was related to the symptoms of stroke (85.27%). There was a significant relationship between the number of beds in the hospitals and the nurses' knowledge about beginning treatment of Tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA) (P<0.005), optimal level of blood pressure prior to administering intravenous tPA (P<0.001), and recommended dosage of tPA (P<0.001) .Also, a significant relationship was reported between the number of beds in the emergency departments and the nurses' knowledge about optimal level of blood pressure prior to administering intravenous tPA (P<0.001), and recommended dosage of tPA (P<0.001). Conclusion: The nurses' knowledge was not satisfactory about the guideline of the acute stage of ischemic stroke. Therefore, provision of evidence-based continuing education courses and mandatory attendance of emergency nurses in these courses is recommended.

Ischemic stroke is a medical emergency, which represents a sudden and catastrophic event, carrying a significant risk of death. Emergency nurses are in the forefront of providing interventions to preserve ischemic cerebral tissue and prevent further neurological deficits. The up to date knowledge and awareness of evidence based management of stroke can significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality from stroke. So it is important to assess emergency nurse's knowledge about evidence-based nursing practice of ischemic stroke patients as this knowledge has a direct effect on nurse's practice affecting the general care given for patients. Identifying insufficient knowledge may foster an opportunity for the continuing education of emergency department nurses. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to assess emergency nurse's knowledge about evidencebased nursing practice of ischemic stroke patients. Materials and methods: This study was carried out in Emergency Department, Emergency Hospital, Mansoura University. Subjects of the study comprised 50 nurse in the emergency department who have experience from two years and more and involved in providing care for ischemic stroke patients in the above mentioned setting were included in the study. Results: The results of the study showed that more than three quarters of emergency nurses (78%) had unsatisfactory knowledge about evidence-based nursing practice of ischemic stroke patients. Additionally, there were statistically significant relation between nurses' total knowledge about evidence-based nursing practice of ischemic stroke patients and age, level of education and job title, years of experience and attending training programs, conferences or workshops about nursing care of ischemic stroke patients. Conclusion: it is important to provide in-service training programs for emergency nurses about care of ischemic stroke patients in order to optimize patient outcomes
