Abstract

Our team, as part of the celebration of the 1st National Ictus Day, decided to participate by developing a health education project about Ictus targeted at nursing school students.

Our objective was that, at the end of this project, the students, as future healthcare professionals, would understand:

1) the meaning of ictus, its urgency, and the importance of the period of time from onset till medical attention is provided.
2) their possible contribution towards educating the general population about the warning signs of ictus and the need to seek immediate neurological attention.
