Area of Science:

  • Clinical Medicine
  • Preventive Cardiology
  • Primary Care Research

Background:

  • Stroke is a leading cause of disability and mortality.
  • Effective stroke prevention strategies require integration into routine clinical practice.
  • Family physicians play a crucial role in managing stroke risk factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the process and impact of integrating enhanced stroke prevention into family physician practices.
  • To improve the management of smoking, transient ischemic attack/stroke, atrial fibrillation, and hypertension.
  • To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a multi-component educational intervention.

Main Methods:

  • A two-year staged educational intervention involving seminars, academic detailing, and chart audits.

  • Targeting patients aged 55-75 with at least one major stroke risk factor.
  • Utilizing physician and nurse teams for risk factor counseling and patient education.
  • Implementing patient follow-up at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months.
  • Employing semi-structured interviews and focus groups for process evaluation.
  • Assessing knowledge, attitudes, and charted practice changes before and after intervention for impact evaluation.

    • Main Results:

    • The intervention involved 24 physicians across three practices in Saskatchewan.
    • Educational components included seminars, printed materials, academic detailing, and chart audits.
    • Patient follow-up was conducted at regular intervals post-intervention.
    • Evaluation focused on both the implementation process and the impact on clinical practice.

    Conclusions:

    • Enhanced stroke prevention education can be incorporated into routine family practice.
    • The intervention aims to improve the management of modifiable stroke risk factors.
    • Further evaluation is needed to confirm the long-term impact on stroke incidence.
