Introduction: Stroke has become a pivotal public health problem in the world and Thailand. In 2015, the global population had a cumulative 17 million strokes and 6.5 million deaths from stroke. The stroke situation in Thailand during 2010–2014 revealed that the prevalence of stroke in the population aged 50–69 years had an increasing trend. In 2010, the prevalence was found to be 265.35 per 100,000 population and increased to 295.11 per 100,000 population in 2014. This research aimed to 1) study the epidemiological characteristics of people at risk of cerebrovascular disease in Khuan Niang District, Songkhla Province 2) assess knowledge regarding cerebrovascular disease 3) assess beliefs/attitudes as for stroke and stroke prevention, and perception of stroke 4) analyze the behavior of people at risk for preventing stroke and 5) analyze the factors affecting cerebrovascular disease prevention in Khuan Niang District, Songkhla Province.
Method: This research was a descriptive cross–sectional study and analytical study. A total of 400 study samples were patients diagnosed with diabetes and hypertension in the service units of the Khuan Niang District Health Network, Songkhla Province.
Results: The research results on knowledge about cerebrovascular disease of 400 total samples revealed that overall, from a full knowledge score of 10 (10 issues, 1 point each), the lowest score = 0, the highest score = 10, the average score=7.82, and the standard deviation ± 2.61. Study results of the perception, beliefs/attitudes and behavior regarding stroke of the study samples concluded that every issue was at a moderate and good level. The findings of the analysis of factors that had a statistically significant positive relationship with self-protective behavior from cerebrovascular disease were: monthly family income [r=0.206, P<0.01], knowledge regarding cerebrovascular disease [r=0.189, P<0.01], and perceived benefits of health promotion [r=0.119, P=0.02].
Conclusion and Recommendation: The body of knowledge and findings obtained from this research on factors affecting prevention of stroke can be used to inform decisions for medical and health personnel in diagnosing and treating patients with risk factors quickly, appropriately, and efficiently, which will result in a reduction of patient deaths.
