To perform a questionnaire survey on patients with cerebrovascular disease, so as to find problems in the fall-preventing education and provide scientific evidence for health education improvement.

From October 2015 to December 2016, a self-designed "Let's mitigate falling danger" questionnaire was applied to investigate a total of 193 patients with cerebrovascular disease from geriatric department, neurology department and neurosurgical department, and analyzed the resules.

The average score of the 193 patients was (25.05±4.63) . The three items with lowest score were "Using fall-leading drugs" (1.30±0.86) , "Getting-up behavior" (1.32±0.88) and "Feeling embarrassed seeking help" (1.35±0.64) in the questionnaire. Besides, the fall-preventing score were different in patients with different gender, education level, diagnosis, history of fall and whether received fall-preventing education or not, and the differences were statistical significant (t=2.013, 11.638, 10.750, 5.238, 2.147; P<0.05) . Generalized linear regression analysis showed that receiving fall health education, gender, education level and disease type were the influencing factors of fall prevention cognition in patients with cerebrovascular disease (P<0.05) .

Cerebrovascular patients are lack of awareness of fall risks in hospital. The nursing management should take risk control on these patients. The responsible nurse should choose personalized education mode and content according to relevant awareness deficits.
