“…Worldwide, public awareness of stroke is poor and is associated with lower educational attainment (23). Whilst a low level of basic literacy is associated with barriers to preventative healthcare and reduced public awareness of stroke symptoms (41), low health literacy regarding stroke could be a primary impediment to improving health behaviours which may reduce the incidence of stroke.…”

Linked to risk factors that develop across the life course, stroke is considered to be largely preventable. This study assessed awareness of stroke risk, symptoms, detection, and prevention behaviours in an urban New Zealand population.Methods: Demographics, stroke risk factors awareness, symptoms, responsiveness, and prevention behaviours were evaluated using a structured oral questionnaire. Binomial logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictors of stroke literacy.Results: Whilst personal experience of stroke increased awareness of symptoms and their likeliness to indicate the need for urgent medical attention, only 42.7% of respondents (n=850) identified stroke as involving both blood and the brain. Educational attainment at or above a trade certificate, apprenticeship, or diploma increased awareness of stroke symptoms compared to those with no formal educational attainment. Pacific Island respondents were less likely than New Zealand Europeans to identify a number of stroke risk factors. Māori, Pacific Island, and Asian respondents were less likely to identify symptoms of stroke and indicate the need for urgent medical attention. Conclusions:The variability in stroke awareness and knowledge may suggest the need to enhance stroke-related health literacy that facilitates understanding of risk as well as factors that reduce morbidity and mortality following stroke in people of Māori and Pacific Island descent, and in those with lower educational attainment or socioeconomic status. It is therefore important that stroke awareness campaigns include tailored components for target audiences.

“…Viena pagrindinių kliūčių mažinant gyventojų sergamumą ir mirtingumą nuo šios ligos yra nepakankamos gyventojų žinios, mažas visuomenės informuotumas apie insultą, jo įspėjamuosius požymius, rizikos veiksnius ir skubią pagalbą [2,3,4,5,6]. Todėl būtina skatinti sveikatos priežiūros įstaigų darbuotojus, ypač slaugytojus, ne tik atpažin-ti insultą ir laiku suteikti pagalbą, bet ir aktyviai dalyvauti pacientų edukacinėje veikloje.…”

Pastaruoju metu pasirodo straipsnių apie slaugytojų darbą JAV, Didžiojoje Britanijoje, kuriuose nurodoma, kad slaugytojai nėra pakankamai pasiruošę atpažinti insultą ir laiku suteikti pagalbą insultu susirgusiam žmogui [5,7,8,9,10]. Lietuvoje yra tiriamųjų darbų, vertinančių ligonių žinias apie insultą, bet nėra pakankamai mokslinių tyrinėjimų ir straipsnių, kuriuose būtų tirtos pačių slaugytojų žinios apie šią ligą.…”

SANTRAUKAReikšminiai žodžiai: slaugytojas, insultas, žinios. Darbo tikslas. Įvertinti slaugytojų žinias apie insultą, jo rizikos veiksnius bei slaugytojų elgesį ūminio insulto metu. Tyrimo medžiaga ir metodai. 183 slaugytojai užpildė anketą su atviro ir uždaro tipo klausimais apie insulto simptomus, perspėjančius ženklus, rizikos veiksnius ir pirmą pagalbą ūminio insulto metu. Rezultatai. 80 proc. apklaustų slaugytojų žinojo bent tris insulto simptomus, taip pat 80 proc. slaugytojų išvardijo ne mažiau kaip tris insulto rizikos veiksnius. Dauguma (83 proc.) slaugytojų vertino insultą kaip ūmią ligą ir susirgus kviestų greitąją pagalbą. Tačiau slaugytojų žinios apie insulto simptomus buvo nepakankamos, net ketvirtadalis slaugytojų ligonio, kuriam nusilpo pusė kūno, nenukreiptų į ligoninę. Pasireiškus specifiniams insulto simptomams, tinkamą pagalbą dažniau suteiktų tie slaugytojai, kurie sugebėjo išvardyti bent du insultui būdingus simptomus (šansų santykis 3,95; p < 0,01). Slaugytojų žinios apie insultą nepriklausė nuo amžiaus bei darbo stažo. Universitetinį išsilavinimą turinčių slaugytojų žinios buvo reikšmingai geresnės negu slaugytojų su neuniversitetiniu išsilavinimu. Blogiausios žinios apie insultą buvo akušeriniuose ir vaikų skyriuose dirbančių slaugytojų. Trys ketvirtadaliai slaugytojų paskaitas nurodė kaip dažniausiai naudojamą informacijos šaltinį įgyjant žinių apie insultą. Išvados. Slaugytojų žinios apie insultą yra nepakankamos, daugiau kaip ketvirtadalis slaugytojų neatpažįsta insultui būdingų simptomų ir rizikos veiksnių. Būtina tobulinti slaugytojų mokymo programas, įtraukiant paskaitų ciklą apie insultą. ABSTRACTKey words: nurse, stroke, knowledge. Aim: to evaluate nurses' knowledge about stroke symptoms, stroke predictors, stroke risk factors and nurses action taken following stroke. Materials and methods. 183 nurses completed open and closed type questionnaires to determine their knowledge of stroke symptoms and risk factors, and the action they took or would take in the event of a stroke. Results. 80 % of respondents correctly reported more than 3 stroke warning signs or symptoms and more than 3 stroke risk factors. The majority (83 %) of the nurses consider a stroke an emergency and say they would call an ambulance in the event of a stroke. About 25 % of nurses were not able to recognise weakness or numbness on one side as symptom of stroke and they wouldn't call the emergency services. There was a significant association between awareness of stroke and the action they would take in the event of a stroke. The action of nurses' identified at least 2 stroke warning signs or symptoms was more correct in comparison with others (odds ratio 3.95; p < 0.01). The knowledge about stroke did not depend on nurses' age and clinical experience. The knowledge was significantly better among nurses with higher education level (university) in comparison with nurses with lower education level. The worst knowledge was among midwifery and children's nurses. Most nurses (75 %) cited their training as their main s...

ÖZETAMAÇ: Araştırma, 40 yaş üstü lise öğretmenlerinde inme alarm belirtileri ve risk faktörleri farkındalığını incelemek amacıyla planlanmıştır. GEREÇ ve YÖNTEM: Tanımlayıcı tipteki araştırmanın evrenini, Aydın merkezdeki lise öğretmenleri (n=1256) oluşturmuş, bunlardan 40 yaş üstü (n=700) örneklem için tam sayım yoluna gidilmiş; 40 yaş ve üstü, inme geçirmemiş, istekli 567 öğretmen alınmıştır. Etik kurul onayı ve valilik izni alınmış; literatüre dayalı, uzman görüşü alınarak ve ön uygulama yapılarak geliştirilen "yapılandırılmış soru formuyla", Şubat-Mart 2014 tarihlerinde, okulda toplanmıştır. BULGULAR: Katılımcıların %55,7'si erkek; %89,8'i evli; %88,9'u lisans mezunu, yaş ortalaması 47,37±5,66'dır. Katılımcıların %30,3'ünün "inmede etkilenen organı", %70'inin "inme nedenini" bilmediği saptanmıştır. "İnme alarm belirtileri" bilgisine yönelik toplam yanıtlarına göre en fazla; kol-bacakta uyuşma-güçsüzlük (%22) ve konuşma-anlama bozukluğu (%12,3) olduğu belirlenirken; %46,3'ünün AHA/ASA'nın tanımladığı inme alarm belirtileriyle ilgisi olmayan cevaplar verdiği saptanmıştır. Katılımcıların "inme risk faktörleri" bilgisine yönelik toplam yanıtlarına göre en fazla; stre s (%15,5), hipertansiyon (%12,3), sigara-alkol (%9) olduğu belirlenirken; %24,5'inin AHA/ASA'nın tanımladığı inmenin risk faktörleriyle ilgisi olmayan cevaplar verdiği saptanmıştır. İnme için riskli yaş grubunda bulunan katılımcıların, değiştirilebilir bireysel inme risk faktörleri oranının yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda; demografik özellikleri ile inme alarm belirtilerini bilme durumu arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmazken; sadece eğitim durumları arasında anlamlı bir fark olduğu (χ2=7,731; p=0,021) saptanmıştır. Demografik özellikleri ile inme risk faktörlerini bilme durumu arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır (p>0.05). SONUÇ: Çalışmaya katılan öğretmenlerin danışman ve eğitimci rollerine, inme risk faktörlerine sahip olmalarına ve inme için riskli yaş grubunda bulunmalarına rağmen, inme alarm belirtileri ve risk faktörleri farkındalığı istenilen düzeyde değildir. Anahtar Sözcükler: İnme, farkındalık, lise öğretmenleri, inme risk faktörü, inme alarm belirtileri. STROKE WARNING SIGNS AND AWARENESS OF RISK FACTORS IN HIGH-SCHOOL TEACHERS ABSTRACTOBJECTIVE: This study was planned in an attempt to examine the stroke warning signs and awareness of risk factors in high-school teachers older than 40. MATERIAL and METHODS: The target population of the study consisted of teachers (n=1256) working at high schools in the city center and instead of the sampling method, a census was used for teachers older than 40 (n=700). The sample involved 567 teachers who hadn't stroke experience and volunteered to participate. The data were collected with "structured question form" was developed based literature and expert opinions by conducting a preliminary application in working hours. RESULTS: Regarding the participants, 55,7% were male, 89,8% married; 88,9% had bachelor's degree and age average 47,37±5,66. It was determined that 30,3% of parti...
