Globally in 2018, 80 million people worldwide have strokes and 50 million survivors of strokes live with permanent disabilities. The percentage of stroke in Aceh in 2018 has reached 103 percent or above the national average of 93.4 percent. The impact of the high percentage of the number of people affected by stroke in Aceh has made the life expectancy of the people of Aceh to be low or only 67.8 years, below the national average of 71.5 years. Stroke has a large impact on physical, psychological and social functioning. Most people with stroke are faced with limitations in physical, psychological and social functions. This condition causes post-stroke depression which affects the inability to take care of themselves (self-care) such as bathing, dressing, toileting and making toilet and shower transfers.
