Conclusion; Stroke recurrence was significantly decreased among the studied patients who received pre discharge nursing education than patients who received routine hospital care (control group). Recommendation; Instruction hand book about modifiable risk factors that lead to stroke recurrence and methods to deal with it should be available for all patients with stroke.
