Objective To explore the application effect of high-quality nursing in the care of patients with cerebral infarction and provide a basis for improving the quality of care for elderly patients with cerebral infarction. Methods Thirty patients with cerebral infarction in our hospital from May 2024 to August 2025 were selected and randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group, with 15 cases in each group. The control group received routine care, while the experimental group received high-quality care. The degree of neurological deficit (NIHSS score), activities of daily living (Barthel index), incidence of complications and satisfaction with nursing care were compared between the two groups. Results After 4 weeks of intervention, the NIHSS score of the experimental group (7.32±1.85) points was lower than that of the control group (11.67±2.34) points, and the Barthel index (75.46±8.72) points was higher than that of the control group (58.23±7.56) points. The differences were statistically significant. The incidence of complications in the experimental group was 6.67%, which was lower than 33.33% in the control group. The satisfaction rate of nursing was 93.33%, which was higher than 66.67% in the control group. The differences were statistically significant. Conclusion Implementing high-quality care for patients with cerebral infarction can improve neurological function, enhance activity ability, reduce the incidence of complications, and increase satisfaction. It is suitable for promotion.
