Stroke and Vascular Nursing is a specialized area of nursing focused on the prevention, acute care, rehabilitation, and long-term management of patients with stroke and vascular diseases. Nurses in this field play a critical role in the early recognition of stroke symptoms, rapid intervention, ongoing monitoring, and patient education to prevent recurrence. At the 5th Edition of the World Nursing Research Conference, the importance of stroke and vascular nursing will be highlighted, showcasing how their responsibilities also extend to managing risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and atherosclerosis. Through evidence-based practice and interdisciplinary collaboration, stroke and vascular nurses support neurological recovery, reduce complications, and improve the quality of life for patients affected by cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular conditions.
