“From Bed to Brisk Walk: The Role of Rehabilitation Nursing in Stroke Recovery”

Author(s) Dr. Shruti M ROY

Abstract Abstract
Background
Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with significant consequences on functional independence and quality of life. Rehabilitation is integral to stroke recovery, and rehabilitation nursing plays a pivotal role in enhancing recovery outcomes, particularly in the areas of mobility, independence, and psychological support. However, rehabilitation nursing remains underexplored, especially in resource-limited settings like Madhya Pradesh, India. This study investigates the role of rehabilitation nursing in stroke recovery, focusing on mobility outcomes, functional independence, and overall patient well-being.

Aim
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation nursing interventions in improving mobility and functional independence among stroke survivors. The research also seeks to assess the psychological support provided by rehabilitation nurses and explore the challenges they face in delivering care in low-resource settings.

Methods
This quasi-experimental study involved a total of 100 stroke survivors from Index Medical College, Hospital and Research Center, Indore, India. Participants were divided into two groups: an intervention group receiving structured rehabilitation nursing care and a control group receiving standard post-stroke care. Data collection involved pre-test and post-test assessments of mobility and functional independence using tools such as the Functional Mobility Scale (FMS), Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test, and Barthel Index (BI). Additionally, psychological assessments were conducted to evaluate post-stroke depression, anxiety, and emotional distress. Data were analyzed using statistical methods such as paired t-tests, chi- square tests, and multivariate regression.

Results
The findings of this study demonstrate that rehabilitation nursing interventions significantly improve mobility outcomes, with the intervention group showing greater improvements in functional independence compared to the control group. The psychological support provided by rehabilitation nurses was found to reduce levels of post-stroke depression and anxiety, promoting better engagement in rehabilitation activities. However, challenges such as limited resources, workforce shortages, and financial constraints were identified as barriers to effective rehabilitation nursing, particularly in rural and underserved areas.

Conclusion
Rehabilitation nursing interventions play a crucial role in enhancing stroke recovery, particularly in improving mobility, functional independence, and psychological well-being. This study emphasizes the need for increased investment in rehabilitation nursing education, infrastructure, and resources to strengthen post-stroke care in resource-constrained settings like Madhya Pradesh. The findings advocate for the integration of structured rehabilitation nursing programs into the stroke care protocol to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
