An interventional study of SURA'A Consultation-Based Campaign in Stroke, sponsored by University of Baghdad. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-06-04.
Sponsored by University of Baghdad · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a one-week multifaceted Stroke Urgency Recognition, and Action Awareness (SURA'A) consultation-based campaign in increasing stroke awareness and the intention to seek emergency medical help among adults. The research will be conducted at primary health care centers to determine if this specific educational approach can improve the community's response to stroke symptoms.
The study will employ a multifaceted campaign based on the SURA'A consultation framework over a period of one week. Participants from primary health care centers will be involved to assess their baseline knowledge and intention regarding stroke. Following the intervention, changes in their awareness levels and help-seeking intentions will be measured and analyzed. This research is approved by the Research Ethical Approval Committee at the University of Baghdad, College of Nursing.

Behavioral: SURA'A Consultation-Based Campaign
Participants in this arm will receive the standard routine health education or conventional care regarding stroke awareness typically provided at the Primary Health Care Centers.
The intervention consists of a one-week multifaceted SURA'A consultation-based campaign. This campaign is designed to increase stroke awareness and the intention to seek help among adults attending Primary Health Care Centers. The multifaceted approach likely includes: Targeted Consultations: Providing direct information to participants regarding stroke symptoms and emergency protocols. Educational Outreach: Utilizing the SURA'A framework-which typically focuses on rapid response (Sura'a meaning "speed" in Arabic)-to emphasize the importance of time-sensitive medical intervention. Community Integration: Implementing the campaign within the primary care setting to reach a diverse adult population during their routine health visits.
Stroke Action Test (STAT)
The Stroke Action Test (STAT) is a validated tool used to assess the participants' knowledge of stroke symptoms and their intended behavioral response (intention to seek help) when witnessing a stroke. It consists of multiple scenarios or questions. Scores are calculated based on correct identified actions, with higher scores indicating better knowledge and more appropriate intended response to stroke symptoms.
Time frame: Baseline (before the campaign) and 1 week later (immediately after the campaign).
action/intention medical help-seeking sub-scale
This sub-scale is a component of the Stroke Action Test (STAT). It specifically measures the participants' behavioral intentions and their promptness in seeking medical emergency services (e.g., calling an ambulance) when recognizing stroke signs. It presents various scenarios to evaluate whether the participant would take the correct life-saving action.
Time frame: Baseline (before the campaign) and 1 week later (immediately after the campaign
