Abstract

Background: Stroke patients experience multi-dimensional problems, not only physical problems, which concern the degradation of body organ function but also psychological problems. These prevent stroke patients from fulfilling their basic requirements. Nurses have a very important role in this case.

Objectives: This study aims at knowing data concerning the family perception to nurse role in basic requirement accomplishment of human being at stroke patients in RS. Dr. Soeradji Tirtonegoro – Klaten.
Methods: This study is descriptive, using a cross sectional study approach. The data were collected by distributing questionnaires to stroke patient families at RS Dr. Soeradji Tirtonegoro. Data collection took place from April V, 2004 – May 30th, 2004.
Results: The study shows that family perception in basic requirement fulfilment of human being at stroke patients pursuant to average value (mean) was fairly good with the average value equals 2,65.
