Summary
Two stroke education programs, pictogram-based and PowerPoint-based, effectively improved stroke knowledge and first action knowledge in older adults. Both programs demonstrated high feasibility and acceptability for stroke prevention education.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Neurology
- Health Education
Background:
- Stroke poses a significant global and Korean public health challenge, leading to mortality and long-term disability.
- Effective patient education is crucial for stroke prevention and management, particularly among high-risk populations.
- Assessing the efficacy of different educational modalities is vital for optimizing public health interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of two distinct stroke education programs.
- To compare the impact of pictogram-based versus PowerPoint-based stroke education on participant knowledge.
- To determine the suitability of these programs for improving stroke awareness in older adults.
Main Methods:
- A comparative study involving 118 participants in a pictogram-based program and 108 in a PowerPoint-based program.
- Assessment of stroke knowledge (definition, risk factors, warning signs) and first action knowledge before and after program completion.
- Evaluation of program feasibility through participation and completion rates, and acceptability via satisfaction surveys.
Main Results:
- Both education programs resulted in significant improvements in stroke knowledge and first action knowledge from baseline to posttest.
- High feasibility was demonstrated, with participation rates of 81-88% and completion rates of 96%.
- Excellent acceptability was reported, with participant satisfaction ranging from 86% to 97% for both programs.
Conclusions:
- Both pictogram-based and PowerPoint-based stroke education programs are feasible, acceptable, and effective in enhancing stroke knowledge among older adults.
- Healthcare professionals can utilize either educational approach to improve critical knowledge for stroke prevention and emergency response.
- These findings support the implementation of targeted stroke education initiatives for high-risk populations to mitigate public health impact.

Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

01:27Regulation of Stroke Volume

The regulation of stroke volume, which is the amount of blood the heart pumps out during each heartbeat, is critical for maintaining a healthy circulatory system. Stroke volume is influenced by three main factors: preload, contractility, and afterload.
Preload refers to the degree of stretch on the heart before it contracts. It's analogous to the stretching of a rubber band; the more it's stretched, the more forcefully it snaps back. This concept is encapsulated in the Frank-Starling law of the...
