      ab: The task of health education is to develop health-promoting attitudes. The training of neurological patients and their families on how to care for own health and cope with the disease is a primary task of a nurse. The aim of the study, carried out among neurological patients, was to evaluate the effectiveness of health education. The study covered 60 patients. The following components of health education were examined: life style, the technique of the measurement selected variables of arterial blood pressure, calculation of the BMI index, determination of the lipids level, demand for calories, control of life functions of the body, procedures in selected pathological symptoms in order to reduce their consequences and prevent complications. Health education activities resulted in a considerable improvement in the patients' state of knowledge and skills. In general, the percentage of patients who represented the proper level of health education was 26.5% during the first stage of the study, and 64.2% during the second stage, i.e. a two-fold increase was observed.
