Antão, Celeste; Pereira, Gabriel; Frias, Vanessa; Caçador, Zelia; Pimentel, Maria HelenaStroke is the leading cause of death and permanent disability in Portugal, requiring nurses to have solid knowledge for effective intervention. This study assesses the level of stroke knowledge among first- and fourth-year nursing students, identifying gaps and progress throughout the academic journey. The aim was to evaluate the level of stroke knowledge among first- and fourth-year undergraduate nursing students at the School of Health of Bragança. Specific objectives included: identifying knowledge of risk factors, assessing the ability to recognize warning signs, and analyzing knowledge of initial therapeutic interventions, The results indicate an improvement in stroke knowledge; however.
