Effectiveness of a Stroke Educational Application on Knowledge and Satisfaction Among At-Risk Groups in Ra-hang Community, Lat Lum Kaeo District, Pathum Thani Province
Keywords:
Stroke, Application, Knowledge, SatisfactionAbstract
This quasi-experimental study used a one-group pretest-posttest design to compare stroke knowledge and evaluate user satisfaction with a stroke educational application. A sample of 30 participants was selected through purposive sampling based on predefined inclusion criteria. Research instruments were validated with an Index of Item Objective Congruence (IOC) of 0.67–1.00. The knowledge assessment tool and satisfaction scale demonstrated reliability coefficients of KR-20 = 0.85 and Cronbach’s alpha = 0.92, respectively. Participants engaged with the application for six weeks. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the paired t-test. The results revealed that the mean knowledge score significantly increased from 11.73 (SD = 1.53) to 13.07 (SD = 1.08) post-intervention (p = .05). Overall satisfaction was high (Mean = 4.44, SD = 0.54), with “Stroke Knowledge Content” and “Application Utility” receiving the highest ratings (Mean = 4.57, SD = 0.50).
In conclusion, the application is a reliable and well-accepted tool. It serves as an effective educational approach to reduce healthcare access barriers, promote primary prevention, and support cost-effective, long-term disease management and behavioral modification
