Background of the study Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide requiring early intervention for effective management. It is regarded as a medical emergency that requires early recognition and timely management. Delay in seeking emergency medical attention has been attributed to failure to recognize the warning signs of a stroke. This may be due to a lack of awareness among the general populace on stroke symptoms and the need for a rapid response. Aim and objective: The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of an Educational Intervention regarding prevention and management of stroke among adults residing in a selected urban community of Mysuru Methods: Research design adopted for the study was pre-experimental, one group pre-test, post-test design. Non probability purposive sampling was used to select 100 adults residing in the selected urban community for the study. Knowledge of adults regarding prevention and management of stroke was assessed using Structured Knowledge Questionnaire. Educational Intervention on prevention and management of stroke was conducted for all subjects. Results: The results of the study revealed that Educational Intervention was effective in increasing the knowledge of adults regarding prevention and management of stroke as evidenced by computed paired 't' test which was significant at 0.05 level of significance ('t' 99 = 19.28; p<0.05) Conclusion: Educational Intervention was effective in enhancing the knowledge of adults regarding the prevention and management of stroke. The study findings stress the increasing responsibility of health professionals in planning and implementing various educational strategies to improve the knowledge of the public regarding prevention and management of stroke which in turn help to reduce their risk for stroke in their later life.
