Comparisons of Stroke Knowledge and Health Behaviors in Patients With Hypertensive Stroke at Different Recurrence Risk Strata: The Comprehensive Reminder System Based on the Health Belief Model Study
Conclusions Most patients incorrectly estimated their risk of stroke recurrence. Communicating with patients about their future risk of recurrent stroke may help improve their stroke knowledge and health behaviors. Implementation of the Comprehensive Reminder System based on the Health Belief Model focusing on risk education aimed at prevention of stroke recurrence is warranted in China.

Ateplase for ischaemic stroke: increased risk of intracranial haemorrhage is balanced by improved stroke outcomes, particularly if treated within 3-4.5 h of onset
Commentary on: Emberson J, Lees KR, Lyden P, et al., Stroke Thrombolysis Trialists’ Collaborative Group. Effect of treatment delay, age, and stroke severity on the effects of intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase for acute ischaemic stroke: a meta-analysis of individual patient data from randomised trials. Lancet 2014;384:1929–35. Implications for practice and research Thrombolysis given to appropriate patients within 4.5 h of the onset of stroke symptoms increases the chance of a good outcome. The earlier it is given, the more likely it is to be effective. Thrombolysis increases the risk of early death,...

Objective The aim of this study was to examine the relationship among factors that predict the rehabilitation motivation of middle-aged survivors after a stroke through structural equation modeling. Methods A total of 200 middle-aged (40–64 years) survivors of stroke from 9 rehabilita...

Earlier thrombolytic treatment is associated with better outcomes following acute ischaemic stroke
Commentary on Saver JL, Fonarow GC, Smith EE, et al.. Time to treatment with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator and outcome from acute ischaemic stroke, JAMA 2013;309:2480–8. Implications for practice and research Optimisation is necessary in public education and hospital triage of the identification of factors such as arrival by ambulance and the importance of requesting emergency medical services (EMS) at scene of the stroke occurrence.1 The results of previous studies suggest that a disparity, observed between hospital-based outcomes for admissions that presented during regular hours and off hours, is not se...

Stroke Prevention Knowledge and Prestroke Health Behaviors Among Hypertensive Stroke Patients in Mainland China.
CONCLUSIONS:: The participants showed a relatively low level of stroke prevention knowledge and a moderate level of engagement in healthy behaviors. Pearson correlation coefficient between these 2 variables was 0.423 (P < .001). The results of multiple regression analysis showed that stroke prevention knowledge was positively influenced by education level; health behaviors were positively influenced by both gender and stroke prevention knowledge. Findings suggest that male hypertensive patients and those with a lower education level need targeted stroke education. Because knowledge was unrelated to behavior with respect...

Differences in the knowledge and compliance with secondary prevention of stroke between transient ischaemic attack patients with and without subsequent stroke
ConclusionsThe transient ischaemic attack patients with subsequent stroke exhibit a higher identification rate of most of the warning signs of stroke and a better compliance with antiplatelet agents and statins therapy of stroke compared with those without subsequent stroke. Thus, we suggest that transient ischaemic attack patients should receive additional health education to increase their awareness of the harms of stroke. Relevance to clinical practiceClinicians should be aware of conducting different health education to patients with transient ischaemic attack and stroke. Also, it is important to give health education ...
