The majority of the stroke patients live with numerous of cerebrovascular risk factors, highlighting the special importance of personalized education to prevent the recurrent stroke. Material and Methods: The aim of our investigation was to examine the efficiency of the neuro-rehabilitation teamwork and personalized patient-education among stroke patients took part inpatient rehabilitation of the Teaching Hospital and Rehabilitation Center of Sopron (2016-2017). We measured the change in ability of self- sufficient living with the FIM scale and the Bartel index, while we analyzed the presence of the modifiable cerebrovascular risk-factors with the assistance of a questionnaire was completed by the patient or the relatives (2016-2017). Results: During our research we also evaluated the knowledge of patients about their condition. According to our results the modifiable risk-factors occured cumulatively among our patients and despite the education that stroke patients received during the acute period in the hospital, there still occured a general lack of knowledge regarding their disease.

[The aim of the study: In addition, it seeks those methods which might help in keeping the patients motivated so that they participate in regular health education programs, and in calling their attention to the importance of their own responsibility for their health. Material and Methods: Out of the patients who took part in early rehabilitation after a heart attack, a simple random sample of 127 patients was involved (n=127). The survey was conducted by questionnaire and retrospective data analysis. For the analysis, khi2 test, correlation analysis was performed, where p was considered significant if <0.05. Results: 71% of the patients were over the age of 60, 87% were overweight or obese, 39% were smokers at the beginning of the rehabilitation, 85% suffered from hypertension and 39% had diabetes mellitus. As opposed to male patients, females tend to recognise the impact of lifestyle on health (p=0.004). Patients under the age of 60 were more knowledgeable with regards to medicine than patients above the age of 60 (p=0.000). Positive family anamnesis impacts views on lifestyle changes (p=0.01). Conclusion: In order to increase the effectiveness of health education, different methods are needed when teaching patients above the age of 60. Written materials need to supplement verbal information sharing. Patients with positive family anamnesis have already gained some knowledge, which needs to be corrected or extended as required. Nutrition consulting should be made more practical for better feasibility.]
