“…In a 2017 study evaluating stroke awareness among the emergency room workers at a hospital with a stroke center, 79% of the emergency department staff could name the cardinal stroke symptoms (17). In another survey on stroke awareness conducted among nurses and interns in Turkey, 64.1% of the nurses responded correctly to the items about stroke symptoms, whereas interns gave correct responses at a rate of 78.6% (18). In our study, 92.4% of family physicians and 90.8% of general practitioners gave correct responses to the item concerning ischemic stroke symptoms.…”

“…The development of techniques used in emergency endovascular thrombectomy has been a major milestone in reperfusion therapy for patients with those common major vascular occlusions (25)(26)(27). In a survey evaluating stroke awareness among family physicians in primary care in Turkey, only 27% of participants knew about the thrombectomy treatment window (24), whereas 47.3% of interns in another study had such knowledge (18). In our study, physicians who had received training on stroke were significantly better acquainted with the treatment window for thrombectomy.…”

Objective: In particular, ischemic stroke is the primary cause of disability and loss of work force. With intravenous thrombolytic therapy and/or mechanical thrombectomy, stroke is a curable disease. In this study, we evaluated the ischemic stroke awareness of physicians who had first contact with stroke patients. Material and Methods: An online questionnaire of 20 items was applied to collect data. Participation was voluntary, resulting in 66 family physicians and 87 general practitioners. Results: 92.4% of family physicians and 90.8% of general practitioners responded correctly to the item that deals with ischemic stroke symptoms. In the item related to the duration of thrombolytic therapy, the rate of correct response of general practitioners was significantly higher than that of family physicians (p< 0.05). Physicians who worked in the profession for less than 5 years had a significantly higher rate of correct answers than those who worked in the profession for more than 5 years. Conclusion: Today, awareness of family physicians working in primary care and physicians working in emergency services who are in first contact with paralyzed patients should be increased. In addition, patient diagnosis and referral should be focused on. For this purpose, primary care physicians' knowledge on ischemic stroke should be increased. Training should be expanded to raise the awareness of physicians about new developments in stroke prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

ObjectiveThe current research was carried out to test the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Acute Stroke Management Questionnaire (ASMaQ), developed to determine the acute stroke management awareness of health‐care professionals.MethodsThis methodological study was performed in a training and research hospital. Data were collected using the “Participant Interview Form” and the Acute Stroke Management Questionnaire.ResultsThe Content Validity Index (CVI) of the Acute Stroke Management Questionnaire was found to be 0.91. As a result of exploratory factor analysis (EFA), it was revealed that the scale, which was adapted to Turkish, consisted of 3‐factor and 29 items, as in its original form. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the 3‐factor structure of the scale. The ASMaQ exhibited strong internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.96) and test–retest reliability (0.879).ConclusionThe 29‐item and three‐dimensional structure of the Acute Stroke Management Questionnaire was revealed to be a valid and reliable measurement tool that could be utilized in evaluating the acute stroke management awareness of health‐care professionals in the Turkish language and culture.
