Objective To evaluate the effect of the rehabilitation nursing procedure on linguistic function recovery in patients with broca aphasia after stroke. Methods Fifty patients with broca aphasia admitted to our hospital from February to October in 2010 were divided into rehabilitation group(admission on odd day) and control group(admission on even day). Linguistic function was evaluated before and four weeks after rehabilitation training. Results Compared with control group, linguistic functions, such as fluency, information, spontaneous talking, listening comprehension, retelling, writing and reading, were improved significantly in rehabilitation group[(65.1±6.1) vs (46.5±1.5), (61.2±2.7) vs (44.8±3.2), ( 61.4±2.3) vs (45.6±1.9), (64.8±6.1) vs (45.6±1.5), (62.6±2.8) vs (43.7±3.1), and (60.4±2.3) vs (46.1±1.8) respectively, P＜0.01]. Conclusion Patients with broca aphasia after stroke should undertake rehabilitation training procedure as early as possible, which can promote the recovery of linguistic function and improve life qualitg of patients.
