Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify cognitive function, upper limb function, and activity of daily living according to characteristics of stroke patients. Methods: The study was a cross-sectional and descriptive design. 102 hemiplegic patients less than 90 day after stroke were recruited from October 1, 2009 to April 30, 2010. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, and ANOVA. Results: Participants showed 21.04(SD=7.05) score of MMSE-K, 14.56(SD=9.42) score of upper limb function, and 53.87(SD=31.38) score of activities of daily livings. Participants with brainstem and cerebellum lesion had higher cognitive function than with right and left hemisphere lesion. An unaffected upper limb function among men and those under age 49 had higher score than other groups. There was shown higher score of affected upper limb function among those with cerebral infarction than cerebral hemorrhage. Conclusion: In early stage of rehabilitation, stroke patients had moderate cognitive dysfunction, severe affected upper limb dysfunction, and severely dependent state of activities of daily livings. For enhancing cognitive function and upper limb function, post stroke patients should be provided nursing care that considered not only cause of disease and location of brain lesion but also gender and age.
