Abstract
Objective: To study the effects of comprehensive nursing care combined with early enteral nutritional support on the nutritional status of elderly patients with severe stroke. Methods: This study included 104 elderly patients with severe stroke admitted between September 2020 and June 2025, who were randomly assigned to a random number table. The control group (n= 52) received routine nursing care and nutritional support, while the observation group (n= 52) received comprehensive nursing care plus early enteral nutritional support. Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) scores, Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL) scores, complication rates, and patient satisfaction were compared. Results: After 14 days of intervention, the SS-QOL score and patient satisfaction rate in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0.05). After 14 days of intervention, the NRS 2002 score and complication rate in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Comprehensive nursing care plus early enteral nutritional support is more effective in improving the nutritional status of elderly patients with severe stroke.
