This study used a consecutive sampling technique with the calculation of sample size based on population proportions. Research on one subject was repeated three times at rest and during pain procedures using the <em>Abbey Pain Scale</em>. Data were analyzed using the <em>Pearson</em> and <em>Spearman</em> test.<br /><strong>Results</strong>: There was a significant correlation (<em>p =</em> 0.001) with a positive and strong correlation coefficient between the <em>Abbey</em> score and the pulse rate (correlation <em>r = </em>0.699). Then there was a significant correlation (<em>p</em> < 0.001) with a positive and strong correlation coefficient between <em>Abbey</em> scores and mean arterial pressure (correlation <em>r =</em> 0.911). In addition, the <em>Abbey Pain Scale</em> score showed a significant change between the <em>Abbey</em> score at rest and during the pain procedure, both in the morning, afternoon and evening team nurses (<em>p</em> < 0.05).<br /><strong>Conclusion</strong>: The <em>Abbey Pain Scale</em> is a valid measurement tool in assessing pain in stroke patients.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal Of Nursing Practice}, author={Arsyawina, Arsyawina and Parellangi, Parellangi and Widiastuti, Hesti Prawita and Hilda, Hilda}, year={2021}, month={Oct.}, pages={162–167} }
