Abstract

Background: Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and mortality worldwide, requiring long-term treatment. Patient motivation is an important factor in the success of treatment and recovery processes. Family support may play a significant role in maintaining patients' motivation during treatment. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between family support and motivation to undergo treatment among stroke patients. Method: This study employed a cross-sectional design with a total sample of 85 respondents selected through consecutive sampling. The study was conducted at the Neurology Outpatient Clinic of Dr. Pirngadi Regional General Hospital, Medan, from February 9 to March 26, 2026. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using the Spearman correlation test and multiple linear regression analysis. Results: This study showed a significant relationship between family support and motivation to undergo treatment (r=0.488; p=0.000). In the multivariate analysis, instrumental support (β=0.325; p=0.007) and appraisal support (β=0.319; p=0.049) showed significant relationships, whereas emotional support (β=0.073; p=0.650) and informational support (β=-0.176; p=0.291) were not statistically significant. Conclusion: Family support is associated with motivation to undergo treatment among stroke patients, with instrumental support being the most dominant dimension. Suggestion: Structured family-based nursing interventions are therefore necessary to support treatment motivation among stroke patients.   Keywords: Family Support; Stroke; Treatment Motivation.

Abstract

Background: Loneliness and anxiety are psychological problems that may affect the quality of life of older adults. Local data regarding the relationship between these factors and quality of life in the working area of Gunungsitoli Community Health Center are limited. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between loneliness and anxiety with the quality of life of older adults. Method: A quantitative analytic correlational study used a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 64 older adults selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3, Geriatric Anxiety Scale, and WHOQOL-BREF. Data were analyzed using Spearman Rank correlation because the data were not normally distributed. Results: Most respondents had low loneliness (40.6%), mild anxiety (53.1%), and low quality of life (65.6%). The thesis reported a significant relationship between loneliness and quality of life (p=0.045; r=-0.045) and between anxiety and quality of life (p=0.006; r=-0.320). Conclusion: Loneliness and anxiety were significantly related to the quality of life of older adults. Higher loneliness and anxiety were associated with lower quality of life.   Keywords: Anxiety; Elderly; Loneliness; Quality of Life.
