Stroke or Cerebral Vasculer Accident (CVA) is a sudden disruption of blood vessels in the brain. Stroke results in limitations in moving, communicating and thinking.
The physical changes in the effects of post-stroke make the sufferer feel alienated from the environment and feel that he is disabled and embarrassing, resulting in increasing stress, tension, anxiety and frustration.
These pressures are caused after a stroke. The perspective will affect the processing of the patient's pressure in the face of the impact post-stroke. Efforts to process, manage and minimize pressure both from inside and outside the individual are called coping strategies.
Coping strategies are divided into two types, namely problem-oriented coping strategies (PFC) and emotionally oriented patients (EFC) coping strategies. The coping strategies raised by post-stroke sufferers will be greatly influenced by the social support of patients.
Social support can reduce psychological tension and stabilize the emotions of post-stroke sufferers.
The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between social support and coping strategies in post-stroke patients, to determine the level of social support received by post-stroke patients, and to find out coping strategies that were often raised by post-stroke patients. The hypothesis proposed is that there is a positive relationship between social support and coping strategies in post-stroke patients.
The research subjects were post-stroke patients, totaling 40 people. The sampling technique used was incidental non-random sampling. Measuring instruments for data collectors are social support scale and coping strategy scale.
From the results of product moment analysis shows a correlation of 0.698 with p = 0.000 (p 1 0.01) which means there is a very significant positive relationship between social support and coping strategies in post-stroke patients.
Effective contribution (SE) of social support to coping strategies is 48.7%, so there are still 51.3% of other factors that influence the emergence of positive coping strategies in post-stroke patients.
The empirical mean of social support was 103.1 and the hypothetical average was 105, meaning that the level of social support received by post-stroke sufferers was sufficient. In the coping strategy variables obtained an empirical mean of 89.8 and a hypothetical mean of 75, indicating that coping raised by post-stroke patients is very high.
The conclusion of this study is that there is a very significant positive relationship between social support and coping strategies in post-stroke patients.
