AIM OF THE STUDY: The aims of this review was to identify existing mobile application designed to support family caregivers of people with stroke disease. METHODOLOGY: A scoping review study framework was carried out in this study, using the EBSCO, Cochrane, PubMed, ProQuest, and Science Direct databases using search keywords: ‘family caregiver’, ‘mobile health application’,  and ‘recurrent stroke or secondary stroke prevention’. This review examined studies published between January 2011 and December 2020. Of a total of 728 papers found, 9 journals were selected. RESULTS: The results founded three categories and their attendant sub-categories. The categories was caregivers support, involvement caregivers in stroke care, and barriers. The majority of mobile application was used to provide video education for caregivers. Caregivers involved in stroke care including emotional care, nutrition, exercise, and recurrent stroke prevention. Poor connection was the most barrier in using mobile application.

Background: Stroke is the third leading cause of death after coronary heart disease and cancer. In stroke patients the main problem that will arise is the damage / death of brain tissue. Signs of the occurrence of damage to brain tissue is paralysis. Range of Motion and Rubber Ball Exercises are Rehabilitation that can be given. This exercise can tone the acupuncture points of the hands that indirectly signal to the sensory part of the nerve to be delivered to the brain. Objective: To know the increase in grasping power and grasping functions in stroke patients after Range of Motion and rubber ball motion exercises. Methods: The design used in this study is experimental quasy, using a control group. This research was conducted in RSUD Sleman. The sample in this study were 26 respondents divided into two groups. Sampling using purposive sample technique. Result : The results of this study indicate an increase in the value of grasping muscle strength and grasping functions in Range of Motion and Rubber ball exercise. Conclusion : Range of Motion exercises and rubber ball movement are effective in improving the value of muscle strength grasping and grasping functions. In expecting further research can increase the number of respondents.                      Keyword : Grasping Power, Grasping Function, Range of Motion, Rubbing Ball, Stroke.

Strok adalah gangguan fungsional otak fokal maupun global, bersifat akut, terjadi lebih dari 24 jam, berasal dari gangguan aliran darah otak dan bukan disebabkan oleh gangguan peredaran darah otak. Salah satu dampak dari strok adalah kelemahan anggota gerak baik hemiplegia atau hemiparesis sehingga mengganggu kemandirian pasien dalam aktivitas kehidupan sehari-hari (AKS). Tujuan penelitian ini mengetahui perkembangan tingkat kemandirian pasien strok berdasar atas skor Modifikasi Indeks Barthel serta faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi tingkat kemandirian pasien. Penelitian dilakukan di rumah sakit PKU Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta dan Rumah Sakit PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping pada bulan Mei hingga Juni 2016. Penelitian dilakukan dengan desain prospective longitudinal. Sejumlah 42 responden dipilih melalui accidental sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah kuesioner Modifikasi Indeks Barthel. Data dianalisis dengan regresi logistik berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan untuk pasien strok perdarahan, pada saat masuk rumah sakit mayoritas dengan kondisi tingkat ketergantungan total (44%) dan pada saat keluar sakit sebagian besar menjadi tingkat ketergantungan parah (44%). Untuk pasien dengan strok iskemik, saat masuk rumah sakit mayoritas juga berada pada tingkat ketergantungan total (49%) dan terjadi perbaikan kondisi menjadi tingkat ketergantungan parah (42%) pada saat keluar rumah sakit. Variabel lama rawat inap berhubungan secara signifikan terhadap skor Modifikasi Indeks Barthel (p<0,05). Tidak ada faktor yang paling dominan berpengaruh terhadap skor Modifikasi Indeks Barthel pasien strok.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh health education video project dalam proses discharge planning untuk meningkatkan kesiapan keluarga dalam merawat pasien stroke. Jenis penelitian ini menggunakan quasi experimental pretest and posttest with control group design. Teknik sampling yang digunakan simple random sampling. Pengukuran tingkat kesiapan responden menggunakan kuesioner dan checklist tentang perawatan pasien stroke di rumah. Hasil uji Mann Whitney didapatkan p value (0,000)<α (0,05) artinya health education video project dalam proses discharge planning meningkatkan kesiapan keluarga dalam merawat pasien stroke di rumah.
