Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Stroke Knowledge Questionnaire, the Health Belief Scale, the Self\u2010Rating Depression Scale and the Self\u2010Management Behaviour Scale. Spearman correlation analysis was performed to examine the associations among the variables. Serial mediation was examined using structural equation modelling with robust maximum likelihood estimation in the lavaan package (version 0.7\u20132).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Stroke\u2010related knowledge was positively associated with self\u2010management behaviours (total effect: B\u2009=\u20092.448, 95% CI [1.925, 3.015]). After accounting for health beliefs and depressive symptoms, the direct effect of stroke\u2010related knowledge on self\u2010management behaviours remained statistically significant (B\u2009=\u20091.124, 95% CI [0.552, 1.696]) and the total indirect effect through health beliefs and depressive symptoms was also statistically significant (B\u2009=\u20091.324, 95% CI [0.966, 1.752]), accounting for 54.08% of the total effect. Specifically, the indirect effect through health beliefs (B\u2009=\u20090.594, 95% CI [0.238, 0.970]), the indirect effect through depressive symptoms (B\u2009=\u20090.419, 95% CI [0.236, 0.683]) and the serial indirect effect involving health beliefs and depressive symptoms (B\u2009=\u20090.311, 95% CI [0.176, 0.510]) were all statistically significant.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among patients with ischemic stroke, stroke\u2010related knowledge was significantly associated with self\u2010management behaviours, with health beliefs and depressive symptoms serving not only as separate mediators but also as a significant serial mediation pathway.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Implications for Nursing Practice<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Nurses should provide individualized stroke education, assess patients' health beliefs and depressive symptoms and offer psychological support when needed.
