AB  - OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of the present investigation was to 
      meticulously examine the efficacy of high-quality nursing care (HQN) on 
      neurological restoration, amelioration of adverse psychological states, and 
      augmentation of quality of life in geriatric patients diagnosed with acute 
      cerebral infarction (ACI). METHODS: A cohort of 240 patients, afflicted by ACI 
      and admitted to our healthcare institution between February 2020 and March 2023, 
      were incorporated into this longitudinal prospective analysis. Employing a random 
      number table methodology, the patient cohort was bifurcated into a control group 
      (n = 120) receiving conventional care and an observation group (n = 120) 
      receiving HQN. Comparisons were conducted between the two cohorts concerning 
      neurological functionality [as quantified by the National Institutes of Health 
      Stroke Scales (NIHSS) and Barthel Index (BI) scores], psychological wellbeing 
      [utilizing the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale 
      (SDS) scores], overall quality of life [assessed via the Generic Quality of Life 
      Inventory-74 (GQOLI-74) scores], and self-perceived burden [evaluated through the 
      Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS)]. Further assessments included patient 
      satisfaction and incidence of complications, both in the pre- and 
      post-interventional phases. RESULTS: Post-intervention, the observation group 
      demonstrated superior outcomes compared to the control group, as evidenced by 
      diminished NIHSS and SPBS scores and elevated BI metrics. Moreover, SAS and SDS 
      scores in both groups manifested a decline post-intervention; however, the 
      decrement was statistically more pronounced in the observation group (P < 0.05). 
      Similarly, all dimensions of GQOLI-74 showed an upward trend in both cohorts, yet 
      the increase was significantly more substantial in the observation group (P < 
      0.05). Furthermore, the observation group exhibited a reduced frequency of 
      complications coupled with heightened levels of nursing satisfaction. CONCLUSION: 
      The implementation of HQN in the geriatric population afflicted by ACI markedly 
      enhances neurological recuperation, attenuates adverse psychological states, and 
      ameliorates overall quality of life. The intervention is also associated with a 
      diminution in complication rates and an increase in nursing satisfaction, thereby 
      substantiating its clinical utility.
