The Impact of Nursing Care on Outcome and Satisfaction in Stroke Patients Receiving Caring-Based Thrombolysis

Abstract

Caring-based nursing care has been shown to improve the standard of care and patient satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of Nursing Care on Outcome and Satisfaction in Stroke Patients Receiving Caring-Based Thrombolysis. A quasi-experimental research approach was used, with a pre-post-test control group. Purposive sampling was used to gather samples from 50 patients with stroke. Caring-based nursing care for stroke patients, outcome and patient satisfaction are among the research variables. The NIHSS scale, mRS scale, and patient satisfaction questionnaire were utilized as instruments. The descriptive analysis test, Paired t Test, and independent t Test were utilized to analyze the data. There was a significant difference in the mean NIHSS score of stroke patients who arrived at the emergency room and 30 days after hospitalization in the treatment group (p value 0.001). This shows a significant decrease for the level of stroke symptoms in stroke patients who received thrombolysis after receiving caring-based nursing care. The mean mRS score at hospitalization increased significantly between the treatment and control groups (p value 0.004). The functional status of stroke patients who received caring-based nursing care improved their self-care ability compared to the control group. Similarly, the level of satisfaction in stroke patients who received caring-based nursing care had significantly higher satisfaction than the control group (p value 0.001). Caring-based nursing care model for stroke patients with thrombolysis is effective to improve outcomes and patient satisfaction.
