OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the knowledge about stroke in Caxias do Sul.
METHOD
A closed-ended, self-administered questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge about stroke among residents of Caxias do Sul. In order to verify variables associated to lack of knowledge we defined three main end points: (1) the inability to recognize that stroke is a disease that affects the brain; (2) insufficient knowledge of risk factors; (3) insufficient knowledge of signs and symptoms of acute stroke.
RESULTS
A total of 952 subjects answered the questionnaire. Lower income and lower educational level were independent factors associated to inability to recognize that stroke affects the brain. Lower income and being under 50 years old were independent risk factors to lack of knowledge concerning stroke risk factors. Lower educational level was the unique risk factor for insufficient knowledge about stroke warning signs.
CONCLUSION
There is a lack of knowledge about stroke in Caxias do Sul. People with lower socioeconomic status and lower education level should be the targets of educational campaigns.
目的
评估南卡希亚斯市居民对中风的认知情况。
方法
采用封闭式自填问卷来评估南卡希亚斯市居民对中风的认知。为了验证与知识欠缺相关的变量，我们定义了三个主要终点：（1）无法认识到中风是一种影响大脑的疾病；（2）对危险因素的了解不足；（3）对急性中风的体征和症状了解不足。
结果
共有952名受试者回答了问卷。低收入和低教育水平是与无法认识到中风影响大脑相关的独立因素。低收入和年龄在50岁以下是对中风危险因素缺乏了解的独立危险因素。低教育水平是对中风警示信号了解不足的唯一危险因素。
结论
南卡希亚斯市居民对中风缺乏了解。社会经济地位较低和教育水平较低的人群应成为教育活动的目标对象。
