Abstract
Objective: This randomized controlled study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of LEARNS health education combined with intelligent follow-up management in the secondary prevention of ischemic stroke (IS), focusing on patient compliance and neurological function outcomes. The LEARNS model is a structured patient education framework encompassing Listen, Establish, Adopt, Reinforce, Name, and Strengthen, aiming to support individualized and interactive patient learning.
Methods: A total of 120 first-episode IS patients admitted to the Neurology Department of our hospital from April to June 2024 were enrolled and randomly assigned to either a control group (n = 60), receiving conventional health education plus intelligent follow-up, or an observation group (n = 60), receiving LEARNS health education combined with intelligent follow-up management. Patient outcomes were assessed using the General Medication Adherence Scale (GMAS), secondary prevention control measures (including blood glucose, blood pressure, lipid control, smoking/alcohol cessation, obesity control, and exercise adherence), the Barthel Index (BI) for neurological function, and ischemic stroke recurrence. Evaluations were conducted at discharge and at all follow-up time points within six months post-discharge.
Results: Compared to the control group, the observation group showed significantly higher medication adherence rates, better control in all secondary prevention measures, and higher neurological function recovery rates at all follow-up time points (P < 0.05). Additionally, the 6-month recurrence rate was significantly lower in the observation group (1.67%) than in the control group (13.33%) (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: LEARNS health education combined with intelligent follow-up management effectively enhances patient compliance, improves secondary prevention outcomes, supports neurological recovery, and reduces recurrence risk in patients with ischemic stroke.
