Abstract

BACKGROUND

Although stroke is the fourth cause of death in Western societies, public stroke awareness remains suboptimal. The aim of this study was to estimate stroke risk perception and stroke awareness in Greece through a cross-sectional telephone survey.

METHODS

A trained interview team conducted this cross-sectional telephone survey between February and April 2014 using an online structured questionnaire. Participants were selected using random digit dialing of landline and mobile telephone numbers with quota sampling weighted for geographical region based on the most recent General Population Census (2011).

RESULTS

Between February and April 2014, 723 individuals (418 women [58%], 47.4 ± 17.8 years) agreed to respond. Among all respondents, 642 (88.8%) were able to provide at least 1 stroke risk factor; 673 respondents (93.08%) were able to provide correctly at least 1 stroke symptom or sign. When asked what would they do in case of acute onset of stroke symptoms, 497 (68.7%) responded that they would either call the ambulance or visit the closest emergency department. Only 35.3%, 18.9%, 17.2%, 20.7%, and 15.0% of respondents with atrial fibrillation, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and current smoking, respectively, considered themselves as being in high risk for stroke.

CONCLUSIONS

Stroke risk perception in Greece is low despite moderate public stroke awareness.

摘要

背景

尽管在西方社会中风是第四大致死原因，但公众对中风的认识仍不理想。本研究旨在通过横断面电话调查评估希腊的中风风险认知和中风意识。

方法

一个训练有素的访谈团队于 2014 年 2 月至 4 月期间使用在线结构化问卷进行了这项横断面电话调查。采用固定电话号码和移动电话号码的随机数字拨号法进行抽样，根据最近的人口普查（2011 年）按地理区域进行配额抽样加权。

结果

2014 年 2 月至 4 月期间，共有 723 人（418 名女性[58%]，47.4±17.8 岁）同意回应。在所有受访者中，642 人（88.8%）能够提供至少 1 个中风危险因素；673 名受访者（93.08%）能够正确提供至少 1 个中风症状或体征。当被问及如果出现急性中风症状会怎么做时，497 人（68.7%）表示他们会打电话叫救护车或去最近的急诊室。只有分别有 35.3%、18.9%、17.2%、20.7%和 15.0%的心房颤动、动脉高血压、血脂异常、糖尿病和当前吸烟的受访者认为自己有中风高风险。
