PROENZA FERNANDEZ, Leidys; NUNEZ RAMIREZ, Leonor; GALLARDO SANCHEZ, Yurieth  y  DE LA PAZ CASTILLO, Katia Leonor. Modification to knowledge and lifestyles in older adults with cerebrovascular diseases. MEDISAN [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.10, pp. 1540-1547. ISSN 1029-3019.

A quasi-experimental study of educational intervention was carried out in 26 patients older than 60 years from the Doctor's Offices 5 and 16 belonging to "René Vallejo Ortiz" Polyclinic III in Manzanillo, from May 2010 to May 2011, in order to modify their knowledge and lifestyles about risk factors for cerebrovascular disease. A questionnaire and a survey were made to determine the needs of learning on the subject and the sign test was used for the statistical validation of findings. In the case series the predominant risk factor was found to be hypertension. Furthermore, it was confirmed that after the implementation of the educational program the level of knowledge about the subject improved and the lifestyle of these older adults was modified.

Palabras clave : older adult; cerebrovascular disease; level of knowledge; lifestyle, risk factor; educational intervention; primary health car.
