Abstract
The study employed to determine the effectiveness of the stroke manual in imparting knowledge regarding the cause, definition, prevention, and management of stroke. A quota non-probability sampling utilized in the study, with a total number of 53 respondents aged 16-50 years old. However, due to the unavailability of the test, the subjects consisting of ten questions each, followed by 5 lettered answers were all in Filipino. The post-test administered after the respondents given 24 hours to read the manual. All subjects were immediate family members of discharged stroke patients from UMC and were not in the medical field or allied medical professions. Results showed that all subjects scored higher in the post-test except for questions relating to the definition and risk factors. Statistical data analyzed by the use of the t-test.
