Objective: To investigate the effects of general nursing on elderly stroke patients and its impact on their psychological state. Methods: A total of 88 elderly stroke patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group. The control group received standard nursing care, while the observation group received general nursing care in addition to the standard care. The Barthel Index, NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were used to assess patients' activities of daily living, neurological function, psychological state, and nursing satisfaction. Results: The observation group showed significantly better scores in nursing effectiveness, psychological state, and nursing satisfaction compared to the control group (all P < 0.05). Conclusion: General nursing care for elderly stroke patients can effectively improve rehabilitation quality and self-care ability, reduce psychological stress, and enhance patient satisfaction, demonstrating significant clinical value.
