Method: A descriptive analytical design with a cross-sectional approach involving 315 patients at Syiah Kuala University Teaching Hospital. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test with SPSS.

Conversely, low motivation to recover was more often found in patients with less family support (48.2%).
