The affected brain area will lose its function, which in turn impairs the body parts controlled by that region (World Stroke Organization, 2. Individuals experiencing a stroke require rapid and appropriate prehospital management, including early recognition of signs and symptoms and minimizing the response time. Effective prehospital care significantly influences the patient's subsequent clinical outcome (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2. Ideally, every family member should possess adequate knowledge of prehospital stroke However, many families lack this understanding, which has a negative impact on their attitudes and behaviors (Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, 2. Another issue identified is the limited use of health education media, which primarily relies on posters and leaflets that only provide visual information. Visual media alone are constrained in the amount of information conveyed and only engage a single sensory modalityAivision (Sumerti et al. , 2. As a result, a more effective medium is required, such as audiovisual media. Audiovisual media can present information more clearly, can be replayed as needed, and engage both vision and hearing simultaneously (Sustiyono, 2. Global data from the World Stroke Organization indicate approximately 17 million stroke cases worldwide, causing 6. 5 million deaths. In Indonesia, the prevalence of stroke increased from 7% in 2013 to 10. 9% in 2018. Bali reported a prevalence of 10. 7% in 2018 (Riskesdas, 2018. In Badung Regency, 32. 40% of stroke patients did not attend routine follow-up, and 18. 40% did not seek care at health facilities in 2018 (Riskesdas, 2018. North Kuta Health Center reports high rates of hypertension and diabetes mellitusAikey risk factors for stroke. Banjar Kancil in Kerobokan Village has 90 elderly residents, and Kerobokan Village has the largest population in the North Kuta Health Center service area, with 43,372 residents (Badung Health Office, 2. Insufficient knowledge leads to negative attitudes regarding prehospital stroke care. The government has attempted to improve awareness using posters and leaflets distributed through public platforms, including the Ministry of HealthAos website, yet family knowledge and Yusniawati et al. Nurse and Health : Journal of Nursing. : 139-150 http://ejournal-kertacendekia. id/index. php/nhjk/index attitudes remain inadequate. Inappropriate prehospital management may result in permanent disability or death, making understanding early stroke symptoms and response time critical (Agustini et al. , 2. The selection of health education media also influences educational Audiovisual media tend to be better remembered because they engage two senses Aisight and hearing (Pratiwi et al. , 2. The limited accuracy of prehospital stroke care highlights the need to improve family knowledge and attitudes. Previous studies focusing on audiovisual media for prehospital stroke education remain limited. Rachmawati et al. reported that many families with insufficient knowledge of stroke symptoms and the golden period arrived late to emergency Similarly. Pomalango . found that families of individuals at high risk of stroke generally had poor recognition of stroke symptoms. Riduan et al. showed that audiovisual education improved knowledge and attitudes regarding early stroke detection. Since knowledge and attitudes influence behavior, providing education is essential. Based on the above evidence, research evaluating the effect of audiovisual-based health education on family knowledge and attitudes regarding prehospital stroke management remains limited and requires further empirical investigation. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of health education using audiovisual media on knowledge and attitude scores regarding prehospital stroke management among families in Banjar Kancil. Kerobokan Village. OBJECTIVE This study was to find out the effect of health education with audiovisual media on family knowledge and attitudes about pre-hospital stroke management. METHODS Study Design This study employed a pre-experimental design with a cross-sectional approach. The type of pre-experimental research used was the one-group pretestAepost-test design. Setting The study was conducted in Banjar Kanci. Kerobokan Village, which is within the working area of the North Kuta Health Centre. Research Subjects The population in this study consisted of families who have elderly members, with a total of 130 people. The sampling technique used was total sampling, resulting in a sample size of 130 respondents. The inclusion criteria were: families residing in Banjar Kanci. Kerobokan Yusniawati et al. Nurse and Health : Journal of Nursing. : 139-150 http://ejournal-kertacendekia. id/index. php/nhjk/index Village. families who live with and care for elderly individuals . families aged 26Ae 45 years. families who are able to read and write. and families who were willing to participate in the study and signed the informed consent form. The exclusion criteria were families with hearing or vision impairments and families who did not complete participation from the beginning to the end of the study. Instruments The research instrument used in this study was based on stroke management guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, which was modified by the researcher according to the studyAos needs. The knowledge variable consisted of 10 statements and the attitude variable also consisted of 10 statements. The research instrument underwent face validity testing by two experts in the field of stroke and was declared valid. Intervention The research procedures began with obtaining a research permit from the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Office of Badung Regency. After the research permit was issued, copies of the permit were submitted to the Head of the National Unity and Political Agency of Badung Regency, the North Kuta Subdistrict Office, and the Kerobokan Village Office. Prior to the intervention, the researcher distributed the knowledge and attitude questionnaires and explained the instructions for completion to the respondents. The researcher then presented an animated video on prehospital stroke management one time in a group session using an LCD projector. After watching the video, the respondents were asked to complete the knowledge and attitude questionnaires again, and the researcher reexplained the procedure for filling them out. The completed questionnaires were collected and used for data analysis. Data Analysis Data analysis in this study was carried out in two stages. The first stage consisted of descriptive analysis of respondent characteristics, including gender, last educational attainment, prior information about prehospital stroke management, and sources of that information. The knowledge and attitude variables were tested for normality and found to be not normally distributed, as indicated by p-values < in both pretest and post-test for each variable. Therefore, the bivariate analysis used a non-parametric test, the Wilcoxon Rank Test.

Kerobokan Village. DISCUSSION The study showed that health education using audiovisual media had an effect on the familyAos knowledge scores regarding prehospital stroke management. This was demonstrated by an increase in the familyAos knowledge scores after receiving health education. This finding is consistent with previous research which reported that balanced Yusniawati et al. Nurse and Health : Journal of Nursing. : 139-150 http://ejournal-kertacendekia. id/index. php/nhjk/index nutrition education using video media influenced studentsAo knowledge. Video media has the ability to present complex information in a way that is easy to understand (Suprapto et al. Another study also revealed that counseling using video media affected adolescentsAo knowledge about anemia (Asmawati et al. , 2. However, the findings of this study should still be interpreted cautiously because no control group was involved, preventing comparison between the intervention and control groups, and the research outcomes are highly influenced by respondent characteristics. Individuals grow and develop within a family. One of the primary functions of the family is the health care function, namely the familyAos role in performing health behaviors and practices among its members, which influences the overall health status of the family (Kholifah & Widagdo, 2. Families living with older adults must possess adequate knowledge regarding possible health problems in the elderly. One such health condition is stroke. A person experiencing a stroke needs to receive appropriate management before arriving at the hospital. The familyAos ability to perform prehospital stroke management is influenced by their knowledge and attitudes. Families should improve their understanding in order to perform prehospital stroke management correctly (Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. Health education regarding prehospital stroke management must be provided to families to improve knowledge, and change attitudes and behaviors. Effective health education requires appropriate media to ensure optimal outcomes. Audiovisual media can facilitate delivery of information and enhance respondent understanding because it engages both visual and auditory Audiovisual media is also more interesting to observe and less monotonous (Saragih & Andayani, 2. Research by Fadilah et al. reported that health education using audiovisual media is more effective in increasing knowledge compared to lecture-based Meanwhile, research by Janah & Timiyatun . showed that audiovisual-based health education is more effective than leaflet-based education. Adequate knowledge about prehospital stroke management contributes to minimizing permanent disability and even death in stroke patients. Accuracy and timeliness in providing early stroke care influence recovery outcomes. Therefore, health workers need to actively provide health education to the community regarding the importance of proper prehospital stroke treatment. Audiovisual media has been proven to be more effective in enhancing audience knowledge compared to other media. However, health education media currently used in practice are still dominated by posters or leaflets, which provide limited information and are Yusniawati et al. Nurse and Health : Journal of Nursing. : 139-150 http://ejournal-kertacendekia. id/index. php/nhjk/index less engaging. Therefore, audiovisual media can serve as a solution to improve information comprehension effectively and efficiently. Effect of Health Education on Family Attitude Score The findings also showed that health education using audiovisual media had an effect on family attitude scores regarding prehospital stroke management. This was evidenced by an increase in attitude scores after the educational intervention. This is consistent with previous research which reported that audiovisual education for early stroke detection influenced attitudes among individuals at high risk of stroke (Riduan et al. , 2. Other research also revealed that learning using animated video media increased responsibility attitudes among early childhood students. Animated videos can improve memory retention and help children apply the knowledge they have gained (Irawan et al. , 2. A positive family attitude is one of the keys to the successful implementation of proper prehospital stroke management. Attitudes are formed after a person receives information or has Individuals with good knowledge are more likely to demonstrate positive attitudes (Irwan, 2. Health education is one of the approaches to improve knowledge and attitudes. Health information is better absorbed when delivered through appropriate media. Audiovisual media features sound and visuals, engaging both hearing and sight. This dual-sensory involvement makes audiovisual media more advantageous compared to media that stimulate only one sense. It also enhances visualization and engagement, making it easier for respondents to understand and retain information (Saragih & Andayani, 2. The concept of stroke management emphasizes Autime is brainAy and the importance of the Augolden period. Ay Adequate knowledge accompanied by positive attitudes serves as a key to comprehensive stroke management. Information regarding prehospital stroke care must be widely disseminated through health education because stroke is an emergency condition. While health education can be delivered through various media, lecture-based or leaflet methods are still commonly used and only stimulate one sense. Therefore, more effective media, such as audiovisual media, are needed to improve learning outcomes and public awareness. CONCLUSION Health education using audiovisual media influences family knowledge and attitude scores regarding prehospital stroke management. Proper and effective prehospital stroke management is a skill that families must possess. Audiovisual-based health education can serve as an effective strategy to increase knowledge and improve attitudes. This study suggested that Yusniawati et al. Nurse and Health : Journal of Nursing. : 139-150 http://ejournal-kertacendekia. id/index. php/nhjk/index Health workers, especially in primary health care centers, are encouraged to consider the use of audiovisual media in delivering health education to patients and the community regarding prehospital stroke management and other health-related topics to enhance the effectiveness of information delivery. Families, particularly those living with and caring for elderly individuals, are encouraged to utilize audiovisual media to improve their knowledge and develop positive attitudes toward prehospital stroke management and other health issues. Audiovisual media can enhance memory retention and improve comprehension. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS . f an. The authors would like to express gratitude to Institut Teknologi dan Kesehatan (ITEKES) Bali.
