The present study was conducted with the purpose to assess effect of educational intervention on risk of stroke. Randomized control trial was conducted on 300 samples by using randomized block sampling technique where 150 samples were included in each group (control and study group). Investigator has prepared risk score card and life style checklist; the tool was divided in three sections, Section I includes demographic information, Section II includes baseline data, Section III consist of assessment of risk, risk score was divided into 3 categories like high risk, caution, low risk. Content validity was done from experts to ensure content validity of the tool. Reliability was done by inter-rater method calculated value was 0.88 and 0.93. Pre test was conducted for both groups. Educational intervention was given to study group and post test one was conducted for both groups after one month of intervention and after three month post test two was conducted. Result shows that in pretest control group, 60% of them had medication for hypertension. In posttest1 control group, 76.4% of them had medication for hypertension. In posttest2 control group, 60.1% of them had medication for hypertension. In pretest study group, 73.3% of them had medication for hypertension. In posttest1 study group, 99.3% of them had medication for hypertension. In posttest2 study group, all of them had medication for hypertension. In study group for the comparison of pretest with posttets1, p-values were 0.000, which are small (less than 0.05), the risk of the stroke significantly reduced in study group. However, for the comparison of pretest with posttest 2, p-value was 0.000, which is small (less than 0.05), the risk of the stroke significantly reduced in posttest 2. In control group in pretest, for the comparison of pretest with posttest1, p-values were 0.550, which are large (greater than 0.05), the risk of the stroke did not significantly reduce in control group. However, for the comparison of pretest with posttest2, p-value was 0.026, which is small (less than 0.05), the risk of the stroke significantly reduced in posttest2. In present study educational intervention was effective to reduce risk of stroke among hypertensive patients.
