To assess the effect of an educational program on the knowledge and perception of stroke in individuals at risk.
This quasi experiment study, conducted in Health Education Clinics at King Salman Armed Forces Hospital, was designed to assess the knowledge of people who were at risk for stroke, before and after delivering educational content. This content comprised 4-minute face-to-face explanation by a trained educator, 99-second video clip and a short hand-out. The assessment was performed by administering a structured questionnaire.
A total of 313 people participated in this study. Before the intervention, 63.6% understood stroke to be due to a disturbance in blood flow resulting in loss of brain function. After delivery of the educational content, the percentage raised to 97.1%. Thirty-Four and Eight percent (109) of participants stated they knew stroke symptoms, and 55.96% knew 2 to 4 symptoms prior to intervention. Our educational content raised these percentages to 98.4% and 79.8% respectively. Good knowledge of stroke symptoms and risk factors was associated with younger age and higher level of education.
Educational content by means of one-to-one interaction with trained educators, video clips and handouts results in significant improvement in understanding of stroke symptoms and risk factors among at-risk participants.
评估一项教育项目对有中风风险个体的中风知识及认知的影响。
这项在沙特国王萨勒曼武装部队医院健康教育诊所开展的准实验研究，旨在评估在提供教育内容前后有中风风险人群的知识情况。该教育内容包括由一名经过培训的教育者进行4分钟的面对面讲解、99秒的视频片段以及一份简短的资料手册。通过发放一份结构化问卷来进行评估。
共有313人参与了本研究。在干预前，63.6%的人认为中风是由于血流紊乱导致脑功能丧失。在提供教育内容后，这一比例升至97.1%。34.8%（109人）的参与者表示他们知道中风症状，在干预前，55.96%的人知道2至4种症状。我们的教育内容使这些比例分别提高到了98.4%和79.8%。对中风症状和风险因素的良好认知与较年轻的年龄和较高的教育水平相关。
通过与经过培训的教育者进行一对一互动、视频片段和资料手册等方式提供的教育内容，能显著提高有中风风险参与者对中风症状和风险因素的理解。
