Background of the Study
Stroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among elderly patients globally, including in Nigeria. Effective management of stroke requires a multifaceted approach, including medical treatment, rehabilitation, and nursing care. Geriatric nurses, who specialize in the care of elderly individuals, play a vital role in the management of stroke patients, particularly in addressing the unique needs of older adults. In Kaduna State, the number of elderly stroke patients is increasing, and the role of geriatric nurses in providing specialized care is becoming more critical (Aliyu et al., 2023). This review aims to explore the role of geriatric nurses in managing stroke patients and their impact on recovery and quality of life.
Statement of the Problem
Stroke management among the elderly is a complex and ongoing challenge. The recovery process often involves not only physical rehabilitation but also psychological support, which can be effectively provided by geriatric nurses. However, the extent to which geriatric nurses in Kaduna State are involved in stroke management, and their effectiveness in improving patient outcomes, is under-researched. This study seeks to review existing literature and assess the role of geriatric nurses in the management of stroke patients in the region.
