Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the incidence post-stroke pain and related factors in nursing care. Subject and method: A cross-sectional study on 250 stroke patients who were able to report pain in 175 hospital from January 2021 to June 2021 using vertical numerical pain rating scale supplemented with face pain scale through a face-to-face interview. Result: The incidence of post-stroke pain was 44%, with the most common pain locations were headache (36.8%) and shoulder pain (5.6%). Headache in intracerebral hemorrhage patients was severe and more common than in ischemic stroke patients. Shoulder pain intensity was negatively correlated with MRC score (β=-0.75 and p=0.002) and positively correlated with NIHSS score (β=0.68 and p=0.007). Conclusion:Post-stroke pain is common, needs to be fully assessed, monitored, and documented during nursing care.
