Background of the Study
Stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with significant impacts on the physical, emotional, and social well-being of affected individuals. Recovery from a stroke is a complex process that involves medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing support. Family support has been identified as a critical factor in the recovery process, influencing both the psychological and physical aspects of rehabilitation. In many cases, family members serve as caregivers, providing emotional, financial, and physical assistance to stroke patients (Bennett & Muntaner, 2024).
In Jigawa State, where healthcare facilities are limited and access to specialized care may be a challenge, the role of family support becomes even more significant. Family members often take on the role of primary caregivers for stroke patients, assisting with mobility, medication adherence, and emotional support. However, the influence of family support on recovery outcomes in stroke patients has not been extensively studied in the region. This study aims to evaluate the impact of family support on the recovery of stroke patients in Jigawa State.
