“…20,32 The knowledge about stroke early symptoms which are hardly identified such as confusion, severe headache, paresthesia and vision impairment were identified to score 37.9%, 34.5%, 32.8% and 20% respectively. These findings are in line with the findings of Hickey et al 8 ,Obembe et al 20 , Saengsuwan et al 33 ,Pandian et al 34 stating that only minority of their respondents identified confusion, severe headache and vision impairment as the stroke early symptoms. In contrast, their knowledge about the three elements of FAST, namely Facial drooping, Arm weakness, and Speech disturbance, in this research were correctly identified by as many as 13.8% respondents.…”

“…The same way goes with gender, which has shown no significant influence in determining the knowledge about stroke risk factors because, according to the research finding, there was no difference in the knowledge of stroke risk factors between female and male respondents. This is confirmed by the research finding of Falavigna et al 30 , Saengsuwan et al 33 which has indicated that there was no correlation between gender and knowledge. In contrast, Amen et al 31 , Chiamaka and Hemamalini 41 , Stroebele et al 42 state that females are the predictors for knowledge about stroke risk factors.…”

“…15,18,31 Confusion, severe headache, paresthesia and vision impairment are hardly identified as stroke symptoms. 8,20,33 It is seen from the research result that the identification of early symptom warning of stroke mostly relied on the capability to detect weakness on one side of the body (63.8%), followed by speech impairment or slurring (53.4%), and walking impairment (53.4%). Weakness on one side of the body is the most commonly identified factor since this factor is the clinical manifestation of stroke which is often seen by members of family and felt by the patients.…”

Background: The knowledge about stroke risks and early symptoms is pivotal to minimize the arrival delay in the hospital and maximize the effective treatments. Objective: Investigating the factors affecting the knowledge about stroke risks and early symptoms in emergency department (ED). Methods: The study employed cross sectional design by means of prospective approach. Samples were taken by consecutive sampling technique recruiting in total of 58 respondents. The respondents were the family or relatives of acute ischemic stroke patients who happened to know and directly involved in taking the patients to the ED. Data analyzed by utilizing univariate analysis, independent ttest, and one-way ANOVA to determine the differences in the knowledge of every respondent based on several characteristics. Multivariate analysis was used to investigate the factors affecting the knowledge about stroke risks and early symptoms. Results: The average age of the 58 respondents was 34-57 years old. 46.5% of whom were graduating from primary school; 51.7% have never been equipped with the necessary information about stroke; 55.2% are female; and 50% of whom were unemployed. There were differences in the knowledge about stroke risks based on the prior information about stroke and education background. As for stroke early symptoms, there were differences towards occupations, prior information about stroke, and education background. The most affecting factor towards the knowledge of stroke risks is education background (p=0.000); while the knowledge about stroke early symptoms was mostly affected by prior information about stroke (p=0.012) and education background (p=0.000). Discussions : Most respondents were less equipped with the necessary knowledge about stroke risks and symptoms. The respondents' knowledge about stroke risks and early symptoms was considered less, while education background was the affecting factor towards the knowledge about stroke risks and symptoms.

“…Walaupun tidak signifikan, dapat dilihat bahwa pasien yang memiliki durasi menderita hipertensi lebih lama memiliki tingkat pengetahuan lebih baik dibandingkan dengan pasien yang menderita hipertensi kurang dari lima tahun. Hal ini sejalan dengan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Saengsuwan 21 bahwa tingkat pengetahuan pasien terkait penyakitnya berkorelasi kuat dengan lamanya pasien telah menderita suatu penyakit kronis.…”

AbstrakHipertensi merupakan penyebab umum dalam peningkatan angka mortalitas dan mobiditas di masyarakat. Selain merupakan silent killer, prevalensi penyakit ini semakin meningkat di seluruh dunia. Prevalensi hipertensi di Indonesia 25,8% dan Jawa Barat berada di peringkat keempat dengan prevalensi 29,4%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur tingkat pengetahuan pasien hipertensi terkait penyakit yang dideritanya. Studi ini merupakan penelitian observasional menggunakan rancangan potong lintang dan dilakukan pada bulan Juni-Oktober 2017 di Apotek Pendidikan Universitas Padjadjaran, Kota Bandung. Sejumlah seratus lima puluh responden mengisi kuesioner yang telah divalidasi setelah menandatangani informed consent terlebih dahulu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebanyak 56,7% dari responden memiliki tingkat pengetahuan baik, 40% dari responden memiliki tingkat pengetahuan cukup, dan 3,3% dari responden memiliki tingkat pengetahuan kurang. Data kemudian diolah secara statistik sehingga diperoleh hasil bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna (p>0,05) antara setiap kelompok responden terhadap sosiodemografi dan karakteristik klinis pasien. Hanya sekitar 50% responden yang memiliki tingkat pengetahuan baik, pasien yang memiliki tingkat pengetahuan cukup dan kurang umumnya adalah pasien dengan tingkat pendidikan rendah dan menderita hipertensi kurang dari lima tahun.

As a silent killer, the prevalence of this disease is increasing worldwide. The prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia is 25.8% and West Java is ranked at top four with prevalence of 29.4%. This study aimed to measure the level of knowledge of hypertensive patients about their disease. This study was an observational study using cross-sectional design in June-October 2017 at Apotek Pendidikan Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung City. A total of one hundred and fifty respondents completed a validated questionnaire after signing informed consent. The results showed that 56.7% of respondents have "good" level of knowledge, 40% of respondents have "moderate" level of knowledge, and 3.3% of respondents have "poor" level of knowledge. Data were analyzed statistically, the results showed that there was no significant difference (p>0.05) between each group of respondents to sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the patients. Only fifty percent of respondents have "good" level of knowledge, patients who have "moderate" and "poor" level of knowledge generally are patients with low levels of education and suffer from hypertension less than five years.

“…Contrasting with our findings, studies employing surveys with open-ended questions indicated low rates of knowledge. 24,25 Nonetheless, the use of closed-ended questions in the present study might have overestimated the real knowledge levels in some domains. Doctors and other healthcare providers were the major source of information about stroke and its preventive strategies (in 62.2% of patients), in the present study.…”

Objectives: To assess knowledge about secondary stroke and adherence to stroke discharge medication and prevention strategies among stroke survivors, and to identify possible causes of poor adherence. Methods: A cross-sectional study that involved 82 stroke survivors who were treated at Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz Hospital (PMAH) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from July 2015 to August Original Article 2018. Patient adherence level (PAL) was assessed using a tool developed by Sidorkiewicz et al (2016). Results: Of the 82 participants, 63.4% believed that the risk of secondary stroke is higher and 70.7% believed it would results in worse outcome, compared to primary stroke. Out of a list of 7 preventive strategies, treating risk factors (80.5%), keeping a healthy diet (65.9%) and regular exercise (63.4%) were the most frequently identified. Forgetfulness (51.2%), polypharmacy (18.3%) and patientperceived improvement (17.1%) were the most frequently reported causes for nonadherence. At the patients' level, PAL was adequate among 46.8%, and was higher among females (60.0% versus 35.7%, p=0.033) and married (52.2% versus 0.0%, p=0.006) ones, and lower among smokers (22.2% versus 54.2%, p=0.029), compared to their counterparts. No correlation of adherence level with knowledge was observed. Regression showed approximation to statistical significance for smoking (OR=4.28 [0.99, 18.41], p=0.051) as a predictor for inadequate adherence. Conclusion: Stroke survivors have suboptimal adherence to discharge prescriptions and preventive strategies, despite a relatively sound knowledge, which exposes them to high risk of secondary stroke. It is part of the healthcare providers' role to identify eventual barriers to adherence and to implement efficacious strategies to alleviate such barriers and improve patients' adherence.
