               The results of the study found that after the experiment, the sample had a higher mean level of knowledge about stroke than before the experiment. Statistically significant at the .05 level (t = -12.817, p-value < 0.001) 14 days after the patient was discharged, the mean level of ability to use daily activities (Barthel index) was higher than before the patient was discharged.
