HUBUNGAN DUKUNGAN KELUARGA TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN DAILY LIVING PADA PASIEN POST-STROKE NON-HEMORAGIC RSUD MOKOPIDO TOLITOLI

Abstract

Non-hemorrhagic stroke is a major cause of neurological dysfunction that leads to a decline in patients’ ability to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADL). These limitations make patients highly dependent on the role of their families during the recovery process. This study aimed to determine the relationship between family support and ADL ability in post–non-hemorrhagic stroke patients in the Neurology Ward of RSUD Mokopido Tolitoli. This study used an analytic design with a cross-sectional approach involving 48 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The instruments used were a family support questionnaire and the Barthel Index to measure ADL ability. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that 60.4% of respondents received good family support, and 47.9% of patients were categorized as independent in ADL. Statistical analysis indicated a significant relationship between family support and ADL ability (p = 0.032). Patients who received good family support were more likely to be independent compared to those who received poor family support. Respondent characteristics such as older age, female predominance, marital status, and educational and occupational background highlighted the importance of the family’s role in the rehabilitation process. The study concludes that family support is a key factor in improving the independence of post–non-hemorrhagic stroke patients in performing daily activities.
