Overview
Stroke is a prevalent condition in the U.S., with an incidence of about 795,000 new or recurrent events per year. Women between the ages of 20 to 59, and 80 and older, suffer more strokes than men, with poorer outcomes than their male counterparts. Risk factors for stroke in women change over the course of their life span. Unique risk factors include use of oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy, pregnancy, and suffering from migraines with aura. Education regarding risk-factor modification and lifestyle changes is necessary to reduce the burden of stroke in females and improve the individual's awareness of her risk for stroke. In addition, women may not experience the classic signs of a stroke, which delays seeking medical attention, diagnosis, and treatment. This continuing education program provides nurses and other healthcare professionals with evidence-based information related to women and strokes, which can be applied in their daily practice.
Goals and Learning Outcomes
- List a woman’s risk factors for stroke across her lifespan.
- Identify variations in treatment for women with stroke compared with treatment for men.
- Describe the healthcare implications in the care of women with stroke, including prevention.
