- W2894257625 abstract "OBJECTIVE: To explore knowledge of stroke risk factors, symptoms, and response in elderly Korean-Americans. BACKGROUND: Stroke and cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death in Asian-Americans. Elderly Korean-Americans have a higher prevalence of stroke risk factors than Caucasians. Little is known about the level of stroke knowledge Korean-American seniors possess, the impact of cultural beliefs, or sources of health information. DESIGN/METHODS: A Community Advisory Panel of 8 Korean-American community leaders guided the research process, including approving translations. We recruited 64 Korean-American seniors from an adult day health care center and 98 from a large church in southern California. Participants completed written Korean surveys with demographics and 6 open-ended questions about stroke: risk factors (RFs), symptoms (Sx), what to do when having a stroke, knowledge of acute therapies or treatment time windows, and sources of stroke information. Translated verbatim responses were sorted into categories by 3 bilingual study team members. RESULTS: Mean age 74.9 years; 68.5% female. Two of 162 subjects felt very comfortable speaking English; 53.1% were not comfortable speaking English. 53.2% responses were correct stroke RFs; 10.6% responses were about wellness (excessive eating); 9.9% responses were cultural causes (blackening of blood). Regarding stroke Sx, 66.7% responses were correct; 6.7% responses were psychological (difficulty sleeping). Responses to stroke varied, with 50.5% calling 911, 30.7% personally driving to hospital, and 13.1% using cultural remedies (forcing out blood, Chinese herbs) 19.3% responses knew of blood thinners; 8.8% responses were cultural (blood-letting). 31.5% identified time window CONCLUSIONS: Korean-American seniors lack knowledge about stroke. Most elderly Korean-Americans are uncomfortable speaking English, and cultural remedies are sometimes performed in lieu of calling 911. Stroke interventions in Korean-American seniors must fill knowledge gaps, address cultural misperceptions about stroke, and prioritize community involvement.
