The predictive role of health ‐promoting behaviours and perceived stress in aneurysmal rupture

ConclusionHealth‐promoting behaviour and psychological stress are promising modifiable factors for reducing risk of aneurysmal rupture. Relevance to clinical practiceOur findings may stimulate greater understanding of mechanisms underlying aneurysmal rupture and suggest practical strategies for nurses to employ in optimising conservative management of rupture risk by teaching patients how to modify their risk. Both health‐promoting behaviour and perceived stress should be addressed when designing preventive nursing interventions for patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysm.
