摘要： 目的 了解上海市虹口区社区居民对卒中相关知识的知晓率，探索健康教育对社区居民卒中相关知识知晓率的影响。方法 参考美国社区卒中预警症状和危险因素知晓率调查研究的内容设计调查问卷，讲座前使用问卷调查上海市虹口区志愿参加本研究的390名社区居民对卒中预警症状和相关危险因素的知晓情况。针对这些人群开展卒中相关知识讲座，发放宣传手册，3～5个月后采用相同方式再次调查其对卒中相关知识的知晓情况。结果 ①第一次调查发现被调查者对10项卒中危险因素的知晓率分别为2%～80%；被调查者对5项卒中预警症状的知晓率分别为51%～63%。②开展健康教育后，被调查者中了解≥2、≥3和≥4项卒中危险因素的比例与第一次调查相比差异有显著性（P值均＜0.0001），了解≥3和≥4项预警症状的被调查者比例与第一次调查相比差异有显著性（P值分别为0.0025和0.0227）。结论 目前上海市虹口区社区居民对卒中相关知识的知晓率不佳；健康教育是提高卒中相关知识知晓率的有效途径。
