Its goal is to help the patients regain their functional independence and resume an active and productive lifestyle. Aim: to investigate the effect of nursing practice scheme on knowledge and remedial compliance among patients with stroke. Research design: A quasi- Experimental (pre and posttest) was utilized in this study. Setting: It was conducted in the Neurology department at Sohag University Hospital, Sample: A sample of 84 patients who confirmed diagnosis of stroke, with age 35-65 years old. Tools: Two tools were used: Tool (I): Structured Interviewing questionnaire for patients, Tool (II): Compliance assessment questionnaire: (pre/ post).Results: less than three quarters of the studied patients had low knowledge level at pre-nursing practice scheme that decreased to be 8.3% at post nursing scheme phase. While, 10.7% of them had good knowledge level that increased to be 65.5% at post nursing scheme phase. 19% of them had medium compliance with medication level at preprogram that increased to be 61.9% of them at post nursing scheme phase. Conclusion: There was statistical significant positive correlation between the studied patient's knowledge, compliance with medication and compliance with exercise at pre and post nursing scheme at (P <0.05). Recommendation: replication of this study on a larger probability sample and evaluating its effect on health outcomes among stroke patients.
