Abstract
Introduction: Stroke can have profound psychosocial health implications. These constructs are often overlooked and undertreated yet can be as devastating as the physical, functional, and cognitive consequences after stroke.
Aim: This scientific statement aims to evaluate 5 important aspects of psychosocial health (depression, stress, anxiety, fatigue, and quality of life) after a stroke to provide a framework for related nursing care across the poststroke continuum.
Methods: A narrative review of the literature published from 2018 to 2023 was conducted with databases such as PubMed/MEDLINE, ClinicalTrials.gov, PsychInfo/EBSCOHost, PsychArticles, CINHAL, and the Cochrane Library.
Results: Findings reveal a gap in evidence-based nursing interventions for addressing poststroke psychosocial needs. Critical strategies for shaping therapeutic nursing care include enhanced screening with validated tools; educating stroke survivors, families, and staff on symptom recognition, prevention, and treatment; and ensuring appropriate pharmacological management and access to psychological and psychosocial interventions, including referrals to social services and other essential support systems. Care should be comprehensive and interdisciplinary. Nurse-led research can benefit from more inclusive inclusion, including individuals with recurrent strokes and preexisting psychosocial conditions, focusing on the impact of structural racism and care disparities and expanding evidence-based nursing interventions.
Conclusions: Although there is limited high-level evidence on the nursing care for patients with suboptimal psychosocial health after stroke, nurses have a crucial role in addressing these needs. Enhanced screening, assessment, supportive services, and education are vital to ensure that patients receive the necessary treatment and care.
