World Stroke Day



World Stroke Day

World Stroke Day is observed worldwide on October 29 every year. The history of World Stroke Day began in 2004. The World Organization declared Stroke as a global epidemic at the time. The World Organization against Stroke was established in 2006. Conferences, round tables and training seminars on the prevention of hypertension and stroke, various events for the population are organized on this day.

The lesson was held on the topic “Topical issues of home rehabilitation for stroke patients”, “Ergonomic self-care products” with students of the Kostanay Higher Medical College, specialty “Nursing”, and group 303 as part of World Day against Stroke. Ergonomic products are currently being produced. Patients with a stroke can take care of themselves while at home.

This event aims to educate students about this disease. This ailment remains one of the main causes of death and disability. A healthy lifestyle (smoking cessation, moderate drinking or quitting alcohol, maintaining a normal body weight, regular exercise and a balanced diet, activating independent health care) will help prevent diseases of the circulatory system. 

Thematic lesson: “Specialized nursing care in the rehabilitation of patients with stroke” was conducted at the Department of Applied Baccalaureate, within the discipline “Specialized nursing care and evidence-based practice”. In the lesson, future bachelors fixed the main signs of a stroke, measures taken when such signs occur, as well as preventive measures. 

Rehabilitation measures were considered on the lesson. The sooner and more adequately neuro-rehabilitation begins the more chances a person has to return to their previous lifestyle. Modern rehabilitation includes the use of various ergonomics, which students of the applied baccalaureate department actively used on the lesson.
