- Abstract
Stroke is the third most common cause of mortality and one of the leading causes of adult physical disability in England. Medical treatment is imperative for the management of stroke and the risk reduction of recurrent stroke. The success of a medical treatment is determined largely by adherence. However, research has shown that adherence to medication in patients who have had a stroke is often suboptimal. Self-management interventions have been shown to improve adherence in long-term conditions. The impact of self-management interventions specifically on adherence to stroke medication is unknown.
