Abstract
Hemorrhagic stroke is caused by the rupture of weakened arteries in the brain or surrounding the brain. The surrounding brain tissue becomes weakened and eventually dies as a result of the accumulation and compression of blood. It is life-threatening and often requires an operation, to reduce the increased intracranial pressure in the brain Aim: Assess risk factors for Hemorrhagic stroke patients in Intensive Care Unit Design: A descriptive research design was used. Setting: Intensive care unit in neurology hospital which affiliated to Assiut University. Sample: All adult males and female’s patients with hemorrhagic stroke who were recently admitted through six months from the beginning of May 2023 to the end of October 2023. Tools: Tool 1: patient assessment tool for Hemorrhagic stroke, tool 2: Risk factors assessment tool. Results: More than half of studied patients were male (57.0%), with age more than 55 years old, also shows advanced age is the most common non modifiable risk factors while hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, and smoking were the commonest modifiable risk factors among studied population. Conclusion: Based on the study findings, it can be concluded that effective management and strict control of modifiable risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, and smoking, are essential reducing the incidence of hemorrhagic stroke. Additionally, awareness of non-modifiable risk factors like advanced age can aid in early identification and monitoring of high-risk individuals Recommendations: -Future studies must be directed to non therapeutic methods to lower the modifiable risk factors of hemorrhagic stroke such as body weight control, physical activity, and lifestyle modification.
