The NHPPD were moderately correlated with K-MMSE (r = -.450), K-BBS (r = -.529) and K-MBI (r = -.549). The worse the cognitive function, balance ability and dependency level, the more were the nursing hours given to the patients. Therefore, these factors can be considered to be factors that predict nursing care needs for patients with stroke.
