Stroke sufferers require effective healthcare to improve their quality of life. The role of the family is crucial in supporting stroke sufferers in their efforts to meet their needs and improve their quality of life. This study aims to investigate the role of family support in enhancing the quality of life for stroke patients. This research employs a narrative review approach. During the search process, researchers utilized two databases: PubMed and EBSCO. The results of the research show that support coming from the family can influence the emotions of stroke sufferers so that they are motivated to continue participating in treatment and rehabilitation. Apart from that, a relationship of mutual trust between the family and medical staff can foster independence and lead to positive outcomes in the therapy process. Conclusion: Social support has a significant impact on the quality of life of stroke patients and plays a role in increasing motivation for rehabilitation.
