Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Top 10 global educational topics in stroke: A survey by the World Stroke Organization

What fucking absolute stupidity. By limiting it to WSO members they totally missed the whole point of stroke in their name. 100% RECOVERY FOR ALL SURVIVORS. The only educational topic is rehab protocols that lead to 100% recovery. Everyone involved in this needs to be keel-hauled.

Abstract

Aim

As part of a program of work to develop an educational strategy and implementation plan for the World Stroke Organization, we conducted a survey of World Stroke Organization members (health professionals, laypersons (Stroke Support Organizations)) to identify their potential educational needs.

Methods

We developed a questionnaire to identify priority educational needs in consultation with the World Stroke Organization Education Committee. The World Stroke Organization invited all individual members and associated Stroke Support Organizations to complete the questionnaire via a web-based survey. Survey responses were supplemented by questionnaires emailed directly to key persons in Stroke Support Organizations and information from semi-structured telephone interviews, where necessary. The questionnaire asked respondents to prioritize topics in diagnosis, management of acute stroke, stroke care services, stroke rehabilitation, and stroke prevention. Free-text responses were assessed with word cloud.

Results

The online survey was completed by 264 respondents from 60 countries; 19.1% were from low- and middle-income countries, 59% were stroke specialist physicians, 28% allied health professionals or nurses, 9% Stroke Support Organizations, 4% general physicians. Fifteen Stroke Support Organizations from 11 countries responded to the emailed survey. Seven Stroke Support Organizations' members were interviewed by telephone; one was interviewed in-person. We highlight the two highest priority topics in each of the five questionnaire domains.

Conclusion

The 10 priority topics were all applicable in a low- or middle-income setting: setting up and delivering stroke diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention services, and emphasized the most basic elements of care. The survey participants have identified a number of key topics that merit inclusion in stroke teaching materials and courses, especially those aimed at practitioners working in resource-limited settings.

Introduction

The World Stroke Organization (WSO) is recognized by the World Health Organization as the sole global non-governmental organization (NGO) for stroke. The WSO undertakes and supports various educational activities for health professionals and lay providers in best practice stroke care. This includes organizing the biennial World Stroke Congress, supporting regional conferences and teaching courses, and engaging with a network of Stroke Support Organizations (SSO).1
The World Stroke Academy (WSA) is the WSO online educational resource; it is an interactive learning platform, available via the web and smartphone app. The WSA provides peer-reviewed, multi-media educational material developed by leading stroke experts across the world, and includes podcasts, Continuing Medical Education (CME)-accredited and non-CME e-learning modules, and educational materials including conference webcasts and slide presentations.2
Identification of practice and learning gaps in systems of education as well as preferences in learning and delivery are critical for development of high-quality educational initiatives. Assessment of needs helps to determine priorities, provides direction for future activities, and supports the directing of resources towards the most high outcome activities.3,4 As part of a program of work to develop an educational strategy and implementation plan for the WSO, we undertook this survey of WSO members to gather information on their perceived educational needs.
