Abstract

This descriptive research studied the relationships between age, education, income, duration of non-communicable disease (NCDs), knowledge of cerebrovascular disease and stroke perception in health insurance patients with NCDs. The 326 samples were health insurance patients with NCDs who received treatment at the outpatient department of a private hospital in Samut Sakhon Province. Data were collected by using questionnaires which consisted of perception of stroke risk factors, perception of the warning signs of cerebral ischemia, perception of the danger signs of cerebral ischemia, and knowledge of cerebrovascular disease. The data obtained were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, and Pearson’s Moment Product Correlation Coefficient.

The results showed that most of the sample were patients with high blood pressure and moderate levels of stroke perception (Mean =13.23, SD =2.10). Level of education had low negative correlations on stroke perception with statistical significance at 0.01. (r = -0.25, p < 0.01). Knowledge of cerebrovascular disease had low positive correlations on stroke perception with statistical significance at 0.01. (r = 0.19, p < 0.01).

This study suggests that healthcare teams need to promote stroke perception among health insurance patients with updated programs and innovations to improve their stroke knowledge and awareness.
