dc.description.abstractIntroduction The stroke is a neurological disease caused by the sudden decrease in blood supply to a particular brain region. It is a state of medical emergency and, in Portugal, is the leading cause of death. Objective To identify the social responses after discharge of stroke patients Methods A cross-sectional, quantitative, observational and descriptive study was developed. This study was conducted at a Continuous Care and Long Term Maintenance Unit. A sample of 222 patients admitted over the period December 2008 to November 2013 was selected. Data collection was made, using Gestcare Integrated Continuous Care, in the last quarter of 2013, after authorization granted by the responsible Unit. Results Of the 222 patients, 79 were admitted to the CCU with the diagnosis of stroke, noting this pathology a prevalence of 35.6% during the analysis period. From the total CVA patients, the majority were male (53.2%), lived in rural areas (61.3%) and had family support (78.5%). Their ages ranged from 48 years to 95 years old. Patients after discharge, had the following destinations: 25.3% were transferred to other units to receive more specialized care; 24.1% patients enrolled in a nursing home; 13.9% returned to the home with family support; 8.9% patients returned to their home with support of a home care; 3.8% patients went to a foster family and, the remaining (24,1%), died. Conclusions The family plays a key role in supporting the patient. However, there is also the need for institutions and social support services that meet and complement the needs of the patient and family.por
