Findings from study done abroad found the most common question being asked by stroke
patients and their families is they wanted to know what they can do to decrease the risk for
second stroke (Choi-Kwon et al., 2005). When patients understand stroke risk factors and can
identify their own risks, they are better able to apply the information to their lives (Denby and
Harvey, 2003). Thus, educational intervention is a fundamental area of the rehabilitation
process as it has been highlighted among nine key performance indicators (KPI) that requires
improvement in stroke management (MOH Clinical Practice Guideline, 2012)..
