Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To explore the application value of a case management model based on Maslow's theory in stroke patients. METHODS: A total of 136 stroke patients admitted in the Number Two Hospital of Baoding from November 2019 to January 2023 were selected retrospectively. Based on the nursing measurements, 68 patients receiving conventional care were assigned to the control group, and 68 patients receiving case management nursing based on Maslow's theory were assigned to the observation group. The basic information of two groups of patients were compared; besides, the neurological function, daily living ability (ADL), quality of life (Stroke Impact Scale, SIS), self-care ability, functional outcomes (Modified Rankin Scale, mRS), complications, and nursing satisfaction of two groups of patients were also compared before and after nursing care. RESULTS: After nursing, the observation group showed more significant improvements in neurological function, daily living ability, quality of life, self-care ability, and functional outcomes (all P<0.05), but lower incidence in complications (P<0.05) than the control group. In addition, the patient satisfaction rate was significantly higher in the observation group than that in the control group. CONCLUSION: Case management guidance based on Maslow's theory for stroke patients can improve patient rehabilitation outcomes and satisfaction with care. The model achieves continuity of information, resources, and personnel for stroke patients after discharge, coordinates multidisciplinary management, and ensures the rational utilization of medical resources. It is an effective way of health care and worthy of clinical promotion.
