Resilience Level of Stroke Survivors
Keywords:
Resilience, Stroke, SurvivorAbstract
A stroke attack has both physical and psychological impacts on sufferers. Resilience in stroke survivors refers to an individual's ability to recover and adapt after experiencing a stroke, both physically, psychologically, and socially. This study aims to identify the level of resilience of stroke survivors. The number of samples in this study was 44 respondents taken using the Purposive Sampling technique. This is a descriptive study. The research tool used the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale-25 (CD-RISC-25). The results showed that the mean resilience score was 95.11 (SD 5.487), indicating high resilience. The level of resilience in stroke survivors shows above-average results. Some implications for healthcare providers or clinical practice are integrating psychological and social support into rehabilitation, empowering survivors to build self-efficacy and adaptive coping, and family and caregiver inclusion with long-term continuity of care.
