To describe the status of response to stroke symptoms and to determine response to stroke symptoms and its relationships with stroke knowledge, perceived risk for stroke, and psychological distress among family members of acute ischemic stroke persons.
This correlational research design, used a simple random sampling to recruit 126 participants. Research instruments consisted of 1) Demographic questionnaire of AIS patients and their family members, 2) The Stroke Pre-hospital Delay Behavior Intention Scale (SPDBI), 3) Stroke Knowledge Questionnaire (SKQ), 4) The Risk Perception Questionnaire for People at High Risk of Stroke (Susceptibility dimension), and 5) the Psychological Distress Scale (K10). The Cronbach’s αcoefficients for the scales were .852, .88, .816 and .895, respectively. Descriptive statistics and Pearson’s product-moment correlation were used for data analysis.
The mean score of response to stroke symptoms among the family members of AIS patients was 82.389 (SD = 14.829), it was between 66-96 score, indicating a moderate correct response to stroke symptoms. Pearson’s correlation analysis revealed that stroke knowledge (r = 0.569, p < 0.01), perceived risk for stroke (r = 0.389, p < 0.01) was significantly positively correlated with response to stroke symptoms, and psychological distress (r = - 0.193, p < 0.05) was significantly negatively correlated with response to stroke symptoms among the family members of AIS patients.
The findings provide an evidence for nurses and nursing researchers to develop intervention programs to promote stroke knowledge, perceived risk for stroke, and healthier psychological state of the family members of AIS patients which can be encouraged family members to develop an effective response to stroke symptoms, ultimately leading to more effective care for the AIS patients.
