- Abstract
Background: Stroke is a life-threatening health problem, requiring rapid and organized management. Studies show existing gaps between stroke care practice and current stroke guidelines. Objectives and Methods: Our objectives were to describe nurses' adherence to the Canadian Stroke Best Practice recommendations, using retrospective chart review data, and to identify the factors influencing nurses' adherence to these recommendations, with questionnaires, in a regional Quebec hospital. Results: The review of patient charts (n = 30) revealed that fall prevention (29%) and pain assessment (56%) achieved the lowest adherence. Nurses (n = 33) reported that the main barriers to adherences included lack of time, training, and interest in stroke pathology. The main facilitators were motivation to follow Canadian recommendations and belief in the importance of applying them in clinical practice. Conclusion: This portrait of nursing practice in Quebec highlights areas for improvement in stroke care practice and the factors influencing this practice.
