Dr. Soeradji Tirtonegoro – Klaten. Methods: This study is descriptive, using a cross sectional study approach. The data were collected by distributing questionnaires to stroke patient families at RS Dr. Soeradji Tirtonegoro. Data collection took place from April V, 2004 – May 30th, 2004. Results: The study shows that family perception in basic requirement fulfilment of human being at stroke patients pursuant to average value (mean) was fairly good with the average value equals 2,65.
