[An effect of education and health literacy on the efficacy of rehabilitation of post-stroke patients].

Aim: To study an effect of education, health literacy and adherence to treatment on the efficacy of rehabilitation of post-stroke patients.

Material And Methods: The study included 1317 post-stroke patients. Information on education, health literacy and implementation of complex rehabilitation was obtained using anonymous survey. The duration of follow-up was 18 month. Patients were examined at baseline and after 6, 12 and 18 month.

Results: A significant correlation between adherence to rehabilitation treatment and the level of health literacy and education was shown. An analysis of the efficacy of comprehensive rehabilitation demonstrated the statistically significant prevalence of patients with positive dynamics of neurological disorders among those who had fully completed the program.

Conclusion: Differentiated and individual personal selection of rehabilitation programs improves their efficacy.
