Abstract

This study used latent class analysis to explore the potential characteristics of stroke preparedness and the factors that influence it in middle-aged and older adults. A total of 845 middle-aged and older adults were recruited from 16 communities in Guangdong Province between July and August 2022. We identified four potential categories of stroke preparedness among middle-aged and older adults: recognition of stroke-emergency medical services (EMS) activation, low symptoms alertness-hospital avoidance, recognition of stroke-go to the hospital, and overlook arm weakness-go to the hospital. The categories could be determined by education level, medical background, knowledge of stroke and knowledge of Stroke 1-2-0 (Chinese version of FAST), conscientiousness traits, and level of family support. The findings of the four categories and their influencing factors suggest that community caregivers should adopt targeted interventions according to the characteristics of different groups of middle-aged and older adults to improve their ability to recognize and cope with stroke.

中老年人脑卒中准备的类别特征及影响因素：一项潜在类别研究。

本研究采用潜类分析探讨中老年人脑卒中预备的潜在特征及其影响因素。在2022年7月至8月期间，共从广东省16个社区招募了845名中老年人。我们在中老年人中确定了四种潜在的卒中准备类别：识别卒中紧急医疗服务（EMS）激活，低症状警觉性-医院回避，识别卒中-去医院，忽视手臂无力-去医院。分类可由文化程度、医学背景、卒中知识和卒中1-2-3 -0（中文版FAST）知识、责任心特征和家庭支持水平来确定。四类研究结果及其影响因素提示社区护理人员应根据不同人群的特点采取针对性的干预措施，提高中老年人群对脑卒中的识别和应对能力。
