Observers will research on the knowledge level of disease and the compliance of treatment of the observation group and control group after 3 months' follow-up. Results: The level of cerebral stroke knowledge in observation group is significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05) after 3 months' follow-up in observation group and control group, the compliance of the observation group is higher than that of the control group (P<0.05) in four aspects: controlling tobacco and alcohol, taking medicine regularly, taking rehabilitation exercise and following up return diagnosis regularly(P<0.05), and there is no significant difference between the two groups in the balanced diet (P>0.05).
