                            <p>Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the stroke awareness among university students. Methods: The study included 230 university students with a mean age of 20.76 ± 3.12 years. The students&#039; awareness of strokes was assessed using a closed-ended, 4-question form. This form included general questions about stroke, stroke risk factors, symptoms and treatment methods. The students were given a training session on stroke awareness. Results: Of the students participating in the study, 50% were in midwifery, 25.2% in health management and 24.8% in social work. The average response rate to general questions about stroke was 60.72%. The most commonly recognised risk factor was high blood pressure (81%). The most commonly recognised symptoms of stroke were sensory impairment, weakness and facial misalignment (93%). The most commonly recognised stroke treatments were physiotherapy and rehabilitation (88%). Conclusion: As a result of the study, it was determined that stroke awareness levels were moderate and that participants knew only a few symptoms and risk factors better. We believe that stroke awareness training for the community can help improve the management of acute stroke.</p></trans-abstract>

Yöntem: Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 20,76 ± 3,12 yıl olan 230 üniversite öğrencisi dahil edildi. Öğrencilerin inme farkındalığı 4 kapalı uçlu sorudan oluşan bir form ile sorgulandı. Bu formda inme ile ilgili genel sorular, inme risk faktörleri, belirtileri ve tedavisi yöntemleri ile ilgili sorular yer almaktaydı. Daha sonra öğrencilere inme farkındalığı ile ilgili bir eğitim düzenlendi. Sonuçlar: Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin %50’si ebelik, %25,2’si sağlık yönetimi ve %24,8’ü sosyal hizmet bölümündeydi. İnme ile ilgili genel sorulara verilen ortalama cevap oranı %60,72’ydi. En fazla bilinen risk faktörü yüksek tansiyondu (%81). En fazla bilinen inme belirtileri ise duyu bozukluğu, güçsüzlük ve yüzde kaymaydı (%93). İnme tedavileri arasında ise en çok bilinen fizyoterapi ve rehabilitasyondu (%88). Tartışma: Çalışma sonucunda inme farkındalık düzeylerinin orta düzeyde olduğu ve sadece birkaç belirti ve risk faktörlerini daha iyi bildikleri belirlendi. Toplumun inme farkındalığını artıracak eğitimlerin verilmesi ile akut inme yönetiminin kolaylaşabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.</p></abstract>
