Abstract：Objective:To explore the mediating effect of self-neglect between social network and cognitive function in elderly patients with ischemic stroke.Methods:A total of 336 elderly patients with ischemic stroke hospitalized in the Department of Neurology in two hospitals in a city from June 2022 to June 2023 were selected as the research subjects.The patients were investigated by using the general information questionnaire,Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA),Lubben Social Network Scale(LSNS-6),and the Scale of the Elderly Self-Neglect(SES).Results:The total score of cognitive function,social network and self-neglect were(16.94±5.44),and the results were correlated with each other.Self-neglect plays a partial mediating role between social network and cognitive function.The total effect value of social network and cognitive function is 0.179,the direct effect value is 0.060,the indirect effect value is 0.119,and the effect proportion is 66.48％.Conclusions:The cognitive function of elderly patients with ischemic stroke is relatively low,and self-neglect has a partial mediating effect between social network and cognitive function,suggesting that medical staff should encourage patients to actively participate in social activities,reduce the level of self-neglect,and ultimately improve cognitive function.
