Abstract: Family is the main source of care at home. In reality, families are not yet independent in post-stroke care at home, this can be due to family characteristics, family support, and burden. This study aimed to identify family independence in post-stroke care at home which was associated with family characteristics, support, and coping. The research design was a cross-sectional. The research was conducted at the Neurology Poly with a sample of 83 respondents and the sampling technique was Purposive Sampling. The instrument in this study was the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Crisis Oriented Personal Evaluation Scale, and Family Independence and social demographic questionnaire. The results of the study found that more than half of the respondents were young adults, had secondary education, and had jobs, low family independence, maladaptive coping, and low family support. There was no relationship between family characteristics (age, education, occupation) with family independence and there is a relationship between coping and family support with independence in post-stroke care at home. It was suggested that families can increase their independence in post-stroke care by having support groups or stroke self-help groups and increasing the role of community nurses through home visits to families.
