Hubungan Peran Perawat Dalam Asuhan Keperawatan Dengan Fungsi Kognitif Pasien Pasca Stroke di RSUD Bogor

The Relationship Between the Role of Nurses in Nursing Care and the Cognitive Function of Post-Stroke Patients at Bogor Regional Hospital

Abstract

Introduction: Stroke is a neurological condition that can cause significant cognitive impairment, affecting memory, attention, executive function, and language. Nurses play a central role in providing care and supporting cognitive recovery in post-stroke patients.
Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationship between the role of nurses and the cognitive function of post-stroke patients at RSUD Bogor.
Methods: A descriptive correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on 55 post-stroke patients with cognitive impairment. Data were collected using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) for cognitive function and a nurse role questionnaire assessing care provider, educator, and counselor functions. Data were analyzed using Chi-square tests with a significance level of 0.05.
Results: The study found that 61.8% of nurses demonstrated poor role performance, while 38.2% had good role performance. Among patients, 49.1% experienced cognitive impairment. Chi-square analysis showed a significant relationship between the role of nurses and patient cognitive function (p = 0.020; OR = 4.583), indicating that better nurse role performance was associated with improved cognitive function.
Conclusion: The role of nurses significantly influences the cognitive function of post-stroke patients. Effective nursing interventions, especially as educators and counselors, can enhance patient cognitive outcomes and support recovery.
