 Objective: The objective of this paper is to analyze the application effect of continuous nursing in the rehabilitation period of stroke patients.

Method: From January to October 2013, in the Department of Neurology, Tianjin Binhai People’s Hospital, 120 cases of stroke with hemiplegia were confirmed by clinical diagnosis, and it was divided into 60 cases in the intervention group and 60 cases in the control group randomly. The control group received routine rehabilitation treatment and nursing, and the intervention group carried out continuous nursing on the basis of routine rehabilitation treatment and nursing.

Results: The results show that the NIHSS (National Institute of Health stroke scale) scores in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05); the family function scores after 3 months intervention in the two groups were better in the total scores and family length, emotionality, and intimacy in the intervention group. The scores of each dimension were significantly higher than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).

Conclusion: Therefore, continuing nursing can effectively improve the neurological function, family function and daily living ability of stroke patients.
