This study is based on a literature review to describe health care guidance for nurses in the rehabilitation of stroke patients. Stroke is an acute disease that requires prolonged rehabilitation that is a global problem and to get a deeper understanding of nurses’ healthcare guidance for stroke patients’ rehabilitation. Improving stroke services is critical to reducing the global stroke problems. In the United States, Asia and Europe, nurses are under a lot of pressure to care for stroke patients, and they lack adequate nursing guidance to improve patient satisfaction. Therefore, this study hopes to find more results through the literature review and provide nurse health care guidance to help more stroke patients.
The methodology of the literature review is to use critical thinking to research and summarize the literature. Data were collected from the databases of EBSCO, Proquest, Elsevier and Google Scholar. Using these existing databases, peer-reviewed health-related journals and articles related to the topic of this study were searched based on keywords of the paper topic. Using the PRISMA flowchart, this study illustrated the systematic literature search process at each stage. Finally, six articles were selected for content analysis.
Data analysis of the literature identified five categories regarding nurse health learning in stroke rehabilitation, they are (1) Educating for stroke patients. (2) Stroke self-management programme (SSMP). (3) Rehabilitation for falls after stroke. (4) Support and assistance for patients' families. (5) Oral care for stroke patients. Stroke patients lack the knowledge of stroke, nurse can provide education guidance. International evidence-based guidelines recommend self-management support for stroke patients to improve their health outcomes. A nurse-led stroke self-management program (SSMP) has been shown to be satisfying for patients. Nurses need to pay more attention to home environment risk assessments and interventions and need to do more to educate patients about fall prevention. Health care networks must encourage support for family members and make better use of their potential to provide care. All nurses agreed that they had a role in maintaining good oral health among their patients. However, many gaps in care are evident. For suggested future research, it would be beneficial to review the evidence-based nurses’ guideline for patients at stroke rehabilitation.
