title: [Nursing documentation in the Stroke Unit].
abstract: The organization of Stroke Unit improved prognosis of stroke patient. The randomized studies emphasized the importance of nursing in such a structure. In order to improve nursing process in our Stroke Unit, we designed a nurse record which includes a neurological scale, to define dependence classes and guidelines based on Virgina Henderson's theoretical model. In this paper, we present this nurse record and we describe the various steps of its design.
