Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the chi-square test.

There is a significant correlation between family support and patient quality of life with a p-value of 0.031 (p < 0.05). Patients who receive high family support have a better quality of life compared to patients who receive low family support.

Education and training that focuses on increasing family involvement and understanding of patient needs is very important to implement.
