The Post-Stroke Checklist facilitates the identification of health problems. The study aimed to use the Post-Stroke Checklist to identify the extent of health problems, and how they were addressed, in nursing home residents that experienced strokes in Sweden. We also investigated the feasibility of the Checklist in a nursing home context.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This is a cross-sectional explorative study. Twenty nursing homes in two regions of Sweden participated. We included residents that had experienced a stroke within approximately 3\u00a0years and the responsible staff members were approached. Questionnaires were completed during face-to-face meetings with staff members (n\u2009=\u200945) knowledgeable about the residents. Data collection included the Post-Stroke Checklist, Barthel Index, modified Rankin Scale, resident and staff characteristics, and a satisfaction-questionnaire completed by staff.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>At the included nursing homes 1061 residents, 22% (n\u2009=\u2009239) had a history of stroke, and 6% (n\u2009=\u200965) had experienced strokes during the last 3.5\u00a0years. Forty-nine residents were included (41% men, median age, 86\u00a0years, range 59\u201397). Among the health problems identified with the Checklist, activities of daily living (82%) were most common, and spasticity (41%) and pain (29%) were least common. Residents had extensive care needs, with a median of six health problems per resident. The total number of health problems addressed by previous actions i.e., referrals, as suggested in the Checklist, was 124, when recalled by staff. The median Barthel index score was 35. Lack of follow-up after stroke (e.g., by using a checklist) was reported in 17\/20 nursing homes. The staff were satisfied with the Post-Stroke Checklist.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We found that more than 1\/5 of residents had experienced a stroke; thus, the Post-Stroke Checklist was a useful tool in nursing homes. Half of the residents had more than six health problems, identified with the Post-Stroke Checklist. Extensive needs, combined with a lack of follow-up, indicated a risk of insufficient care. These findings suggested that nursing home routines could be improved with the Post-Stroke Checklist.<\/jats:p>\n                <jats:p><jats:italic>Trial registration<\/jats:italic>\u00a0The project is registered in Research web, project number: 256021.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12872-022-02466-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,14]],"date-time":"2022-02-14T09:02:49Z","timestamp":1644829369000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Stroke-related health problems and associated actions identified with the post-stroke checklist among nursing home residents"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1005-7444","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emma K.","family":"Kj\u00f6rk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2569-6772","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martha","family":"Gustavsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nohad","family":"El-Manzalawy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5940-4400","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katharina S.","family":"Sunnerhagen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,14]]},"reference":[{"issue":"10","key":"2466_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1091","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp-2016-313361","volume":"87","author":"SL Crichton","year":"2016","unstructured":"Crichton SL, Bray BD, McKevitt C, Rudd AG, Wolfe CD.
