“…Female gender was significantly associated with HL, which confirmed by previous studies (23,24). Our results regarding the association of written materials as the sources of health information with an increase of HL is in the line of another study which showed the effect of written training materials on the HL of the patients with acute ischemic stroke (25). Use of the Internet in both simple and adjusted model was associated with an increase of HL, although this association in the adjusted model was not statistically significant.…”

Background: We aimed to determine the level of health literacy (HL), and its association with general health. In addition, we investigated the direct and indirect association of socioeconomic status (SES) and general health among the adult population in Iran.Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 750 literate adults' people. The SES was assessed based on the owning of assets HL was evaluated using a validated questionnaire in Iran. General health was assessed using the WHO general health questionnaire. The simple and adjusted linear regression models, and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used for data analysis.Results: In adjusted model, female gender, higher level of education, use of books, pamphlets, or brochures as a source of health information, the higher level of SES was positively associated with higher HL. In addition, the HL was significantly associated with higher scores of general health.Results of SEM showed that the direct effect of SES on general health was not significant, but the indirect effect via HL was significant (path coefficient: 0.24; p<0.001).Conclusion: Results of our study indicated HL is strongly associated with general health among the adult population. SES had a significant indirect association with general health via the effect on health literacy.

“…One method for stroke education is the use of educational pamphlets, which have been demonstrated to be an effective method to improve patients' knowledge and awareness of risk factors for acute ischemic stroke such as obstructive sleep apnea. 112 Another modality to deliver stroke education is online programs, which are preferred by some survivors of stroke and allow education to be delivered throughout the transition period and in the home setting. 113 In addition, developing culturally tailored educational interventions is critical to guarantee the success of stroke survivor education, especially for minorities and underrepresented groups.…”

In 2009, the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association published a comprehensive scientific statement detailing the nursing care of the patient with an acute ischemic stroke through all phases of hospitalization. The purpose of this statement is to provide an update to the 2009 document by summarizing and incorporating current best practice evidence relevant to the provision of nursing and interprofessional care to patients with ischemic stroke and their families during the acute (posthyperacute phase) inpatient admission phase of recovery. Many of the nursing care elements are informed by nurse-led research to embed best practices in the provision and standard of care for patients with stroke. The writing group comprised members of the Stroke Nursing Committee of the Council on Cardiovascular and Stroke Nursing and the Stroke Council. A literature review was undertaken to examine the best practices in the care of the patient with acute ischemic stroke. The drafts were circulated and reviewed by all committee members. This statement provides a summary of best practices based on available evidence to guide nurses caring for adult patients with acute ischemic stroke in the hospital posthyperacute/intensive care unit. In many instances, however, knowledge gaps exist, demonstrating the need for continued nurse-led research on care of the patient with acute ischemic stroke.
