Advanced Nursing Care in Stroke Rehabilitation: Evidence-Based Practices

Abstract

Stroke remains a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide, necessitating specialized rehabilitation strategies. Advanced nursing care in stroke rehabilitation plays a vital role in promoting recovery, preventing complications, and enhancing patient independence. This review explores evidence-based nursing practices in stroke rehabilitation, emphasizing early mobilization, risk factor management, caregiver education, and interdisciplinary coordination. Incorporating recent research, it highlights the critical role of nurses in cognitive and physical recovery, and outlines practical strategies to improve patient outcomes. The integration of technology, individualized care plans, and continuous assessment forms the cornerstone of modern neurological nursing in stroke units.
