Objective: to analyze the positive effect of telephone follow-up on the convalescent stroke patients. Methods: the subjects of this study were 180 stroke patients who received treatment and care in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2019. All patients were divided into observation group and control group according to the number random table method, with 90 cases in each group. Patients in the control group received routine health education and rehabilitation guidance before discharge, and patients in the observation group continued to follow up by telephone on this basis. 1 week after discharge, patients in the observation group received targeted follow-up and health guidance, including medication, rehabilitation exercise, and mental health management. Then the NIHSS score and family function score of the two groups were compared to determine the actual role of telephone follow-up. Results: the results of this study showed that the NIHSS scores of patients in the observation group and the control group were close to each other before the telephone follow-up, but the scores of patients in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group in the review at 3 months after the telephone follow-up, indicating that the neurological function of patients in the observation group recovered well. The difference of data results was significant (P<0.05), and the results were statistically significant. In terms of family function score, the scores of the two groups were close before the telephone follow-up, but the family function score of the observation group at 3 months after the follow-up was significantly higher than that of the control group, indicating that the patients in the observation group received a lot of support in growth degree, intimacy degree, and emotion degree. The difference of data results was significant (P<0.05), and the results were statistically significant. Conclusion: telephone follow-up can effectively promote the rehabilitation process of stroke patients, both compliance and quality of life can be significantly improved, it can be used as a routine nursing measures for such patients in the future.
