About this study

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a multicomponent nurse-led intervention (BEST CARE ICTUS\_HC) can reduce stroke-related complications and improve recovery in adults (18 years and older) hospitalized with an acute ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke in hospitals without specialized Stroke Units. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the implementation of the program increase the early and correct detection of swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) to prevent pneumonia? 2. Does the program reduce the severity of attention problems (hemineglect) and improve the patients' quality of life up to 6 months after discharge? Researchers will compare patients receiving the BEST CARE ICTUS\_HC program to patients receiving usual hospital care to see if this new approach improves patient safety and long-term functional recovery. Participants will: * Receive either the usual hospital care for stroke or the BEST CARE ICTUS\_HC nursing program, depending on the study phase of the hospital. * Be screened for swallowing problems using a standardized test before receiving any food or drink. * Be cared for in an adapted environment (FLECHA Project) that uses visual signs and room organization to help with orientation and safety. * Have their temperature, blood sugar, and blood pressure monitored under a strict specialized protocol. * Be contacted by phone 30 days and 6 months after leaving the hospital to answer questions about their health and quality of life.
