Stroke patients often experience physiological instability and discomfort, including changes in blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, pain, and nausea or vomiting. Non-pharmacological nursing interventions are needed to support patient comfort and clinical stability during acute care. Head-up positioning and murottal therapy are commonly used supportive interventions in nursing practice, but evidence regarding their combined effects remains limited.
This study aims to evaluate the effects of a combination of a 30-degree head-up position and murottal therapy on blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, pain degree, and projectile vomiting in stroke patients. The study involves stroke patients receiving standard medical and nursing care, with the addition of the combined intervention as part of supportive nursing management.
The head-up position will be applied at a 30-degree angle, while murottal therapy will be delivered through 30-minute audio recitation during for 3 days. Physiological parameters and symptom outcomes will be measured before and after the intervention according to the study protocol. The findings of this study are expected to contribute evidence for the use of simple, non-pharmacological nursing interventions to improve comfort and physiological responses in stroke patients.
