Background: Stroke is a major cause of functional disability, it increased the need for continuous nursing care. Nurses need to pay attention not only to the physical recovery after stroke, but also to the psychological and social recovery. Therefore, it is important to provide training courses to nurses about care of stroke patients. Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of implementing designed educational training program for neurological nurses on clinical outcomes of stroke patients. Methods: Design: A quasi experimental research design was utilized. Setting: Data were collected from Neurological Intensive Care Units, Wards and Neurological outpatient clinics of Tanta Main University Hospital. Sample: All nurses (n = 35) who are providing direct care for stroke patients and a purposive sample of 30 stroke patients. Tools: Three tools were used to collect data. Tool (I): Assessment of nurses' knowledge questionnaire sheet about stroke; Tool (II): Observational checklist to evaluate nurses' practice regarding care of stroke patients; and Tool (III): Patient's clinical outcomes assessment sheet. Results: The results revealed that there were significant improvements in nurses' knowledge and practice regarding care of stroke patients post training program at p < .01. Also, significant improvements in self-care and activities of daily living among stroke patients were observed from immediately to 2 months later post application of training program. Conclusions:The study findings revealed that the implementation of designed educational training program within 2 months were successful for improving nurses' knowledge and practice regarding care of stroke patients. Furthermore, there was improvement in activities of daily living and self-care among stroke patients. Recommendations: It is recommended to generalize implementation of designed educational training program for neurological nurses as a routine hospital care for stroke patients.

Background: In UAE, stroke is the second leading cause of disability after RTA, where annually 8,000 to 10,000 patients get a stroke. Our aim is to identify the knowledge levels of stroke among Sharjah’s adult citizens.Methods: Using self-administered questionnaires, in a cross-sectional design, a non-probability convenience sampling method was used to enrol subjects. Eligible subjects were above 18 years of age, comprehended Arabic or English, and are currently residing in Sharjah. The questionnaire was 17 questions structured in 5 sections which included: demographics, general knowledge, knowledge of signs and symptoms, risk factors, and appropriate response towards stroke. SPSS V.22 was used to analyse the data. Percentages, means, and ANOVA were used. A P-value less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.Results: The study included 426 subjects, mean age was 35.1 years, 65.2% were females. 51.8% of the subjects claimed they know what stroke is, out of whom 24.3% provided incorrect descriptions. The mean knowledge level of signs and symptoms was 55.4%, and of risk factors was 40.6%. Visual disturbance was the least identified of the five signs and symptoms (38.0%). Female gender, African American race, and age above 60, were the least identified of the 8 risk factors (4.7%, 3.5%, 19.8% respectively). Better knowledge was associated with increased age and higher education. Conclusion: The majority of the sample showed an average to low level of knowledge. Such results indicate the importance of implementing more awareness programs that target younger age groups in the community.
