Aim: to evaluate the results of work of schools for stroke patients and their relatives in primary stroke units and regional stroke center of Tyumen district. Patients and methods: Since 2012 schools for stroke patients and their relatives were implemented in primary stroke units and regional stroke center. Educational program includes 10 themes concerning stroke risk factors (hypertension, obesity, smoking, low physical activity and high level of stress), basics of primary and secondary prevention, main consequences of stroke (paresis, aphasia, pressure sores etc.) and ways of their correction. A special questionnaire was developed to evaluate the efficacy of educational measures, which included questions on gained knowledge and respondent opinion on the quality of education. An analysis of 2200 randomly selected questionnaires was performed. Results: A high level of attendance was demonstrated; most popular lectures included “Hypertension and stroke”, “Life after stroke” and “Stress and health”. Questionnaire survey revealed that educational materials were sufficient for most respondents (91.6%), easy-to-understand (97.3%), attendees acquired skills on stroke patient care (90.6%) and knew how to provide first aid in case of suspected stroke (98.8%). Conclusion: We recommend to continue educational programs for stroke patients and their relatives and questionnaire surveys to improve quality and efficacy of medical service.acute cerebrovascular accidentstrokesecondary preventioneducationquestionnaire surveyострое нарушение мозгового кровообращениявторичная профилактикаобразовательные мероприятияанкетирование1.Imam Y.Z., D'Souza A., Malik R.A., Shuaib A.
