About

The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness between interactive board game health education and conventional health education in improving community-dwelling adults' stroke knowledge and self-reported stroke health literacy, including risk factors, symptoms, acute management of stroke, and 6 aspects of self-reported stroke health literacy. The intervention group will receive an interactive board game in a group (2~6 individuals), while the control group was assigned to read the health education flier and watching the stroke prevention video. The follow-up period was set to be four weeks after the intervention, both control group, and intervention group.

Full description

Stroke is a major health problem and a known cause of death and disability. Approximately 13 million people suffered from stroke worldwide annually and it ranks fourth among the top 10 causes of death in Taiwan. In a recent survey of Taiwanese citizens on the World Stroke Day event (New Taipei City) in 2012, the public's stroke literacy was low, only 5.71% of them can reach "good stroke literacy". Generally, stroke education was mostly implemented in a one-way lecture way. Therefore, instead of one-way style health education, the investigators assume that interactive board games can increase stroke knowledge, stroke literacy, and self-reported stroke health literacy of community-dwelling seniors.
