BACKGROUND: Rehabilitation nursing is considered an indispensable part of the cerebral infarction treatment system. The hospital-community-family trinity rehabilitation nursing model can provide continuous nursing services across hospitals, communities, and families for patients. AIM To explore the application of a hospital-community-family rehabilitation nursing model combined with motor imagery therapy in patients with cerebral infarction. METHODS: From January 2021 to December 2021, 88 patients with cerebral infarction were divided into a study (n = 44) and a control (n = 44) group using a simple random number table. The control group received routine nursing and motor imagery therapy. The study group was given hospital-community-family trinity rehabilitation nursing based on the control group. Motor function (FMA), balance ability (BBS), activities of daily living (BI), quality of life (SS-QOL), activation status of the contralateral primary sensorimotor cortical area to the affected side, and nursing satisfaction were evaluated before and after intervention in both groups. RESULTS: Before intervention, FMA and BBS were similar (p > 0.05). After 6 months' intervention, FMA and BBS were significantly higher in the study than in the control group (both p < 0.05). Before intervention, BI and SS-QOL scores were not different between the study and control group (p > 0.05). However, after 6 months' intervention, BI and SS-QOL were higher in the study than in the control group (p < 0.05). Before intervention, activation frequency and volume were similar between the study and the control group (p > 0.05). After 6 months' intervention, the activation frequency and volume were higher in the study than in the control group (p < 0.05). The reliability, empathy, reactivity, assurance, and tangibles scores for quality of nursing service were higher in the study than in the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Combining a hospital-community-family trinity rehabilitation nursing model and motor imagery therapy enhances the motor function and balance ability of patients with cerebral infarction, improving their quality of life.
