Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Public awareness of stroke symptoms and risk factors in Italy is suboptimal. Education level and personal experience with stroke significantly impact stroke knowledge and response, highlighting the need for public education initiatives.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Stroke knowledge is crucial for effective prevention, symptom recognition, and timely emergency response.
  • Current data on stroke awareness within the Italian general population is limited.
  • Understanding public knowledge gaps is essential for targeted health education campaigns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the level of stroke knowledge among Italian adults.
  • To identify key risk factors, warning signs, and appropriate actions for stroke.
  • To explore factors influencing stroke knowledge and emergency response behaviors.

Main Methods:

  • A population-based telephone survey was conducted with 1,000 Italian residents aged 18 years and older.
  • The survey utilized a questionnaire with closed-ended questions on stroke symptoms, risk factors, and treatment awareness.
  • Multivariable logistic regression models were employed to analyze predictors of stroke knowledge.

Main Results:

  • Only 55.8% correctly identified the brain as the affected organ; hypertension was the most recognized risk factor (67.6%).
  • Hemiparesis was the most recognized warning sign (68.7%), but only 43.5% could list more than one sign.
  • Knowledge of t-PA treatment was low (26.2%), and only 59% would call an ambulance; higher education correlated with increased likelihood of calling an ambulance.

Conclusions:

  • Stroke knowledge among Italian adults is generally suboptimal.
  • Independent predictors of stroke knowledge were limited to education level and prior personal or family experience with stroke.
  • Public health education interventions are recommended to improve stroke prevention and treatment outcomes.
