Abstract

Stroke is a sudden neurological condition that causes local or widespread disturbances in brain function. Its impact includes physical limitations, disabilities, and psychological issues such as stress and depression. These often lead to patients becoming dependent on others and needing continuous assistance. Family support plays a crucial role in the recovery process, especially for stroke survivors. Families can assist by providing motivation and guidance so that patients can gradually perform daily activities independently. This study aims to examine the relationship between family support and the level of independence in self-care among stroke patients. The research used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 80 stroke patients were selected using the Accidental Sampling technique. The results showed that most patients (53.8%) received adequate family support. Meanwhile, 50% of the patients were in the category of moderate dependence in self-care activities. A Spearman correlation test showed a significant relationship between family support and self-care independence, with a correlation value of 0.640, indicating a strong positive relationship. Therefore, it is highly recommended that families provide continuous support and encouragement to help patients stay motivated, improve their independence in daily life, and optimize their recovery.
