Post-stroke patients require optimal family support during the recovery process, both physically and psychosocially. The family's inability to adapt to changes in roles and caregiving responsibilities often becomes a barrier, leading to the nursing problem of impaired family coping.
This study employed a case study method with a nursing process approach, conducted from May 20 to 23, 2025, in the working area of Pulung Public Health Center. Data collection techniques included interviews, observation, and documentation over four days with the family of Mrs. M, who was caring for a post-stroke family member.
Based on the assessment results, limitations were found in the family's ability to express feelings, low communication among family members, and limited understanding of patient care. The nursing interventions provided included health education, facilitation of emotional communication, provision of psychosocial support, and strengthening the family’s role in home-based patient care.
Evaluation showed an improvement in the family's coping ability, indicated by better communication, increased commitment to patient care, and greater involvement of family members in meeting the patient's needs. Structured and continuous family nursing care has been proven to enhance the family's coping ability and support the recovery process of post-stroke patients.
