Abstract
Patients at risk of stroke have a chance to face with critical conditions due to cerebrovascular accident any time. Thus, they should be aware of warning signs in order to promptly manage their risks of stroke. This study used a predictive correlation research design conducted to examine awareness of stroke warning signs management and its predictive factors among patients at risk of stroke in community. The participants included 160 patients at risk of stroke in Ubon Ratchathani Province. Data were collected by questionnaires to assess personal information; perceived leading factors, enabling factors, and contributing factors for stroke; and awareness of managing the warning signs of stroke. These questionnaires were reviewed for content validity by experts. The CVI values were .86, .94, .75 and 1.0, respectively, and their reliability values were .77, .88, .75, and .76, respectively. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The results showed that awareness of stroke warning sings management among patients in the community was at a high level, which perceived risks for stroke and the contributing factor related to support from health personnel were significant predictors for awareness of stroke warning sings management among patients at risk of stroke in the community. These factors could explain 25.00% of the variances of awareness of stroke warning sings management (R2=.25, p<.05). The findings in this study indicate that health care providers should encourage the patients to be aware of the risks of stroke and promote awareness of prompt management when warning signs occurre to reduce mortality and disability in stroke patients.
