[ABSTRAK
Stroke merupakan kondisi hilangnya fungsi otak karena gangguan aliran darahotak terjadi lebih dari 24 jam. Stroke berdampak fisik maupun mental sehinggaklien stroke bergantung kepada keluarga serta membutuhkan perawatan danpemulihan jangka panjang. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui pengaruhprogram pemberdayaan keluarga terhadap status fungsional klien dan kesiapankeluarga merawat klien stroke. Desain penelitian quasi experiment denganpendekatan control group pretest posttest design pada 25 responden meliputi 12orang kelompok kontrol dan 13 orang kelompok intervensi. Hasil penelitianmenunjukkan tidak terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna status fungsional klienantara kelompok kontol dan intervensi setelah program pemberdayaan. Namun,terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna kesiapan keluarga merawat klien stroke antarakelompok kontrol dan intervensi (p = 0,004 pada α = 0,05). Oleh karena itu,pemberian program pemberdayaan keluarga direkomendasikan sebagai intervensikeperawatan untuk mempersiapkan keluarga melaksanakan perawatan terutamaketika klien stroke pulang ke rumah.

ABSTRACT
Stroke is a condition of brain function loss due to disturbance in cerebral bloodflow that occurs more than 24 hours. The difficulties and dysfunction are causedby brain damage entail long-term disorders of physical and mental balance, so thatthe patients depend on their families. The aim of this study was to assess theimpact of the family empowerment program on the functional status of patientsafter stroke and also family preparedness to taking care the patients at home. Thestudy design was a quasi-experiment design with pretest-posttest control groupapproach using 25 respondents. Groups were divided into a control group (n=12)and intervention group (n=13). The results showed that is no significant differencebetween functional status in both groups after the intervention, but there is asignificant difference in family preparedness to taking care for stroke survivorsbetween the control and intervention groups (p = 0.004 at α = 0.05). Based on theresults, the provision of family empowerment program as a preparation fordischarge planning could be one of the nursing interventions for families to givinga care for stroke survivors at home;Stroke is a condition of brain function loss due to disturbance in cerebral bloodflow that occurs more than 24 hours.
