Determining Factors of Stroke Preventive Behaviors among Risk Persons in Community, Thailand
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Risk perception of stroke and appropriate health behaviors are determining factors of stroke prevention. This study was conducted to determine factors of stroke preventive behaviors in stroke risk groups. Materials and methods: This descriptive predictive research was conducted among 158 persons aged over 55 years, susceptible to stroke in 10 years 10% or higher. The subjects were drawn by the purposive sampling method. We collected data during September 2021-Febuary 2022, using questionnaires to explore personal characteristics, stoke knowledge test, stroke perception questionnaire, and preventive behavior assessment form. The data were analyzed by Chi-square and binary logistic regression analysis. Results: Factor determining healthy behaviors to reduce stroke risk included stroke knowledge, stroke perception, and presence of chronic diseases. There were 158 patient included in the present study, it was found that the samples are Knowledge about stroke was found to have influence over preventive behaviors against stroke among persons at risk in Nakhon Phanom with statistical significance at .01 with a coefficient increased by 0.48. One more point of knowledge about stroke among the persons at risk caused persons at risk to be 1.6 times more likely to have appropriate preventive behaviors against stroke (OR = 1.62; 95%CI = 1.301, 2.020). Finally, the dominant factor influencing stroke preventive behaviors is stroke knowledge. Conclusion: Therefore, interventions are necessary to increase stroke preventive behavior in risk groups by promoting stroke knowledge and awareness of stroke risks.
