Acute stroke leads to acute impairments of the neurological system. This is an emergency condition and a neurological crisis that causes family members to have anxiety about whether the patient will die or have future disabilities. This quasi-experimental research study aimed to examine the effect of a family needs response program on anxiety among family members of acute stroke patients. Subjects were family members of acute stroke patients who were admitted to the stroke unit at Lamphun Hospital. Fifty-two subjects were purposively selected using a pair matching technique and divided into a control and an experimental group, with 26 participants in each group. The experimental group received the family needs response program. Research instruments of data collection were demographic data recording form and State Trait Anxiety Inventory Form Y. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent and dependent t-test.
The results of this study revealed that the anxiety scores of an experimental group after receiving the program was statistically significant less than before receiving the program (p < .001) and the anxiety scores of an experimental group after receiving the program was statistically significant less than that of the control (p < .001).
The results showed that the Family’s Needs Response Program can reduce the anxiety of a family member. Therefore, this program should be implemented to member of patients with acute stroke to reduce anxiety.
