  2. Stroke Education • New York, March 5, 2009 The number of patients who do not take secondary prevention measures after having a stroke is “alarmingly high” Source: Ross J, Stroke 2009,10: 1161

  3. Importance of Recurrent Stroke • Makes up about 25% of all strokes • Recurrence rates as high as ~ 30% over 5 years • Associated with substantial costs to the health care system • Application of proper prevention interventions provides an opportunity to prevent subsequent stroke Source: Roberts CS, Gorelick, Stroke 2009, 40: 1425-1432

  4. Stroke Education • Required by the Joint Commission Personal risk factors for stroke Stroke Warning Signs Activation of EMS Need for follow-up after discharge New medications prescribed at discharge

  5. Stroke Education

  6. Disease Specific Patient Satisfaction Survey • This was our first attempt to measure the effectiveness of our education Two Questions Related to Stroke Education • I can name my personal risk factors of stroke • I understand what I can do to reduce the risk of another stroke

  7. Prevention Strategies • PROTECT – Preventing Recurrence of Thromboembolic Events through Coordinated Treatment • 8 medication/behavioral secondary prevention measures • Objective was to determine utilization rates at 90 days after discharge Source: Ovbiagele B, Saver J L, Stroke 2004, 35: 2879-2883

  8. Definition of Adherence for Each Behavioral Goal (PROTECT) • Smoking Cessation – no smoking activity beyond 1 month • Exercise – moderate exercise defined by walking, running or swimming for 30 minutes at least 4 days per week or PT or OT of a similar duration and frequency. • Diet – 5 servings of fruits and/or vegetables per day, at least 2 servings of fish per week and at least 1 fiber-rich meal per day for 4 of 7 days per week. • Stroke Awareness – 911 awareness, able to name at least 2 of their modifiable risk factors and aware of at least 3 of 5 common stroke warning signs Source: Ovbiagele B, Saver J L, Stroke 2004, 35: 2879-2883

  9. PROTECT RESULTS • Sept 2002 to Aug 2003 • 130 patients – results at 90 day follow-up • Antithrombotics = 100% • Statins = 99% • Importance of Calling 911 = 87% • Adherence to Diet = 78% • Adherence to Exercise = 70% • Tobacco Cessation = 83% Source: Ovbiagele B, Saver J L, Stroke 2004, 35: 2879-2883

  10. PROTECT TOOLS • Bedside teaching • Patient self monitoring log • Information brochures • Handoff letters to primary physicians • Telephone interview abstraction form • Report score card Source: Ovbiagele B, Saver J L, Stroke 2004, 35: 2879-2883

  11. Successful Strategies to Reduce Stroke Risk • Studied the effect of simple advice vs. brief educational intervention • Brief Intervention (BI) model integrates motivational interviewing with behavioral change Source: Miller E T, Spilker J, Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, Aug 2003, 35: 215-222

  12. Six Key Ingredients Trigger Motivation to Change (FRAMES) • Feedback: Patient receives info on current status • Responsibility: Patient assumes responsibility for the change • Advice: Patient receives suggestions to help in the change process • Menu: Patient receives a number of alternative strategies for modifying the problem behavior • Empathy – Patient receives warm support and respect • Self-efficacy: Patient develops an “I can do this!” attitude Source: Miller E T, Spilker J, Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, Aug 2003, 35: 216

  13. Successful Strategies to Reduce Stroke Risk • Each group received the same 30-minute face-to-face health interview • The BI group received 15 minutes of more individualized motivational counseling encompassing the FRAMES strategies • Interventions were targeted according to patient specific goals • A log was provided to track goal achievement

  14. Successful Strategies to Reduce Stroke Risk • The BI group received another 15 minutes interview at 4-6 weeks and 3 months • The BI group achieved a high number of newly initiated stroke-risk reduction behaviors Source: Miller E T, Spilker J, Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, Aug 2003, 35: 215-222
