Instruments: three instruments were utilized as follow: instrument I: structured interviewing questionnaire, instrument II: ways of coping questionnaire, and instrument III: the stroke self-efficacy questionnaire. Results: The mean total score of stroke knowledge was improved post intervention than pre intervention. There was an increase in the mean total score self-efficacy post intervention than pre intervention.
