The stroke is characterized by multivarious symptoms, causing a number of patients 'problems which require nursing interventions as dependent (i.e. carried out according to a doctor order and independent (carried out independently). Their complete qualitative performance is one of the conditions for the subsequent successful rehabilitation. The aim of the study was the determination of the amount of nursing interventions in stroke patients on the base of established nursing diagnoses (patient problems). This study was carried out on the basis of a specially developed Card of the study. There was performed an investigation of the character ofproblems and the rate of various nursing interventions in patients treated in a specialized department for stroke patients (the sample size - 50 persons.). The study showed that the main types of independent nursing interventions were: interviews with patients and their relatives about the disease, its course and outcome (frequency of the performance - 97.5% in the first day of hospitalization); assisting in the implementation ofpersonal hygiene (90.0%); training of relatives and patients in care and self-care techniques, elements of massage and self-massage, training in the use of bandages and compression hosiery (87.5% and 85.0%); early verticalization (60.0%), changing diapers (52.5%), frequent changes in body position ofpatients (47.5%), respiratory gymnastics classes (45.0%); the using of anti-decubitus mattresses (35.0%); help with feeding (42.5%). In this, the regulation of nursing auxiliary employment (including a clear classifier of services, their documentation, the existence of standards, the ability to assess the quality and so on) is practically absent. The establishment of appropriate regulations will contribute to the objectification of the activities of specialists in nursing care, to the assurance of the consistency in their work at all stages of the rehabilitation of patients.
