Abstract

Stroke patients often experience paralysis and dependency in meeting their daily needs, so they require further post-stroke treatment at home and this condition requires family involvement and support. Currently, to carry out programs for post-stroke patients, families use homecare services because families do not know and are not ready to do it independently at home. However, not all families can afford homecare services, therefore they are required to be able to do it independently and this is largely determined by the family's knowledge regarding handling post-stroke patients at home. This study aimed to determine the knowledge of post-stroke patient families regarding post-stroke patient management and homecare services in continuing stroke treatment at home. The method used was descriptive explorative involving 60 families of post-stroke patients who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using a percentage formula which was outlined in the form of a frequency distribution table. The research results showed that almost all respondents were well aware of stroke management at home and homecare services, but unfortunately some of them were not ready and unwilling to continue treating post-stroke patients at home. In this regard, it is recommended that education should be given to families using participatory learning methods so that families have the knowledge and readiness to handle post-stroke patients at home.
