Abstract

           Stroke is a major contributor to cognitive impairment, attributed to diminished blood supply and oxygen deficiency leading to neuronal degeneration in the brain. Cognitive impairment adversely affects various patient abilities, including memory, language and communication, visuo-spatial skills, attention, and executive functions. Additionally, it results in decreased physical abilities such as movement, balance, and performing daily activities, consequently necessitating assistance from others for daily living. These factors contribute to delayed and inefficient nervous system recovery. Nevertheless, nurses play a crucial role in the rehabilitation of patients with ischemic stroke. Currently, multiple evidence-based practices are employed in nursing care to enhance stroke recovery, mitigate complications, and improve the patient's quality of life. Nurses should focus on caring for stroke patients to prevent cognitive impairment, foster interhemispheric brain connections, enhance brain structuring and functioning (neuroplasticity), and facilitate efficient neurological recovery.
