Abstract ABSTRACT

Background: Stroke is a major public health problem and one of the leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide. The burden of stroke is no longer confined to the elderly population; an increasing no. of cases are being reported among young adults due to unhealthy lifestyle practices, stress, tobacco and alcohol consumption and physical inactivity. Lack of awareness regarding stroke warning signs, risk factors, management, and prevention contributes to delayed treatment and poor outcomes.

Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of a structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding the management and prevention of stroke among students of a selected college of Mizoram

Methods: A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test research design was adopted for the study. The sample comprised of 60 students studying in Government Hrangbana College, Aizawl, Mizoram, selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a demographic proforma and a structured knowledge questionnaire. Pre-test was conducted, followed by administration of a structured teaching programme on stroke management and prevention and the post-test was conducted after seven days. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS version 25.

Results: Findings showed that before the intervention, most students had inadequate knowledge (61.7%), while 38.3% of the students demonstrated moderate knowledge. Whereas in the post-test all students (100%) showed adequate knowledge. The mean post-test knowledge score (22.17 ± 1.76) was significantly higher than the mean pre-test score (8.30 ± 3.12). The calculated paired t-value (28.021) was found to be statistically significant with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05).

Conclusion: The study concluded that the structured teaching programme improved student’s knowledge regarding management and prevention of stroke
