简要总结
Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide accounting for nearly 5.5 million deaths every year. The burden of stroke lies in the high mortality, but the high morbidity also results in up to 50% of survivors being chronically disabled. Whereas almost half of them suffer from long term disabilities which has detrimental effect on the physical, mental, social, and economic status of not only the stroke survivors but also their family and friends.
Stroke is a disease of immense public health importance with serious economic and social consequences. The public health burden of stroke is set to rise over future decades because of demographic transitions of populations, particularly in developing countries.
**Quantitative study:**Data will be obtained regarding the factors affecting health seeking behavior of stroke survivors and the association of health seeking behavior with stroke recovery using Predesigned questionnaire and Scales in 260 stroke survivors.
Qualitative study: A minimum of 2-3 FGDs will be carried out among stroke caregivers and community health workers. One FGD will be conducted among health care providers (occupational therapist, speech therapist, neurologist, physiotherapist, AYUSH specialist).
Facilitators and barriers for seeking health services among stroke survivors at the time of acute stroke and follow up thereafter.
