摘要:According to statistics, the incidence of ischaemic stroke is rising worldwide
and it represents one of the main causes of infi rmity and disability. Studies
conducted in recent years argue that due to the evolution of the health system,
the reorientation of medical education towards community health represents an
alignment of the medical training centres with the needs of the general population.
This type of education for health should be part of the cultural life in each country.
Besides the functional defi cit, patients with a stroke face depression and cognitive
defi cit, and this leads to the increase in the burden associated with this disorder.
The questionnaire was applied on a sample of 153 subjects (73 female and 80
male) with ischaemic stroke, who were on their second admission at the Clinical
Recovery Hospital Iași. From among them, 73 had an urban background and
80 had a rural background, each of them in the fi rst 6 months from the stroke
and all of them patients also diagnosed with primary arterial hypertension. The
study highlights the informational shortcomings of patients with ischaemic stroke
regarding the rehabilitation possibilities, the specifi c symptomatology and need to
conduct personalized physical therapy programs. Lifestyle change, regular medical
check-ups and blood pressure monitoring represent other aspects of which patients
with a stroke are not very aware.
