Abstract

Stroke is a disorder of brain anatomical function that occurs suddenly and quickly caused by bleeding in the brain. The aspects that influence stroke include personal, social, work and physical, and stroke causes dependence on other people, family or other social relationships. Post-stroke can make the sufferer feel inferior and useless due to the physical limitations experienced due to the stroke, but this can be minimized by the sufferer's ability to accept himself. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between social support and self-acceptance in post-stroke patients at Anutapura General Hospital, Palu. With a sample size of 60 respondents, the research design used was cross sectional with data collection methods through filling out questionnaires. Research findings were analyzed using the chi-square test with α = 0.05. The results of the study showed that there was a significant relationship between social support and self-acceptance in post-stroke patients at RSU Anutapura Palu (p-value = 0.009).
