ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the correlation of stroke-preventing knowledge and health behavior in hypertensive and stroke patients.Methods A convenience sampling method was used.The stroke knowledge questionnaire(SKQ)and health promoting lifestyle profileⅡ(HPLPⅡ)were used to investigate 106 hypertensive natients and 336 stroke natients.Results The score on health knowledge was 61?43~70?99 and the total score of HPLP II was 2?22~2?59.Pearson's correlation coefficient between the two variables was 0?273~0?441(P<0?01).Conclusions The hypertensive patients with stroke have less stroke-preventing knowledge and their health behaviors are poor.Those with better health knowledge are better at healthy behaviors.It deserves our attention during health education for those with stroke of first and second stages.
