Overview

Descriptive study reveals poor stroke knowledge among adults in Pokhara, suggesting need for community education.

Key Points

  • Patients had low awareness of stroke risk factors and warning signs, which leads to delayed medical intervention.
  • Only 11.2% of participants demonstrated good stroke knowledge, with 75% having poor awareness, highlighting a critical gap.
  • This cross-sectional study interviewed 376 adults in Pokhara, finding significant associations with sex, ethnicity, and literacy levels.
  • Community educational programs could improve risk recognition and treatment-seeking behaviors, potentially reducing stroke-related mortality.
