Knowledge, mo- tivation, and self-efficacy are essential to the long-term care of post-stroke patients. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between the level of knowledge, motivation, and self-efficacy of post-stroke patients in Lumajang. This study used a cross-sectional design. The population of this study was post-stroke patients in Lumajang. The sampling technique used consecu- tive sampling with the number of samples obtained, namely 55 samples. The variables of this study were the level of knowledge, motivation, and self- efficacy. The data collection was carried out by using a questionnaire. The data analysis was performed by using the Spearman Rank test. The results showed a correlation between knowledge and motivation with self-efficacy in post-stroke patients, with p-values of 0.004 (r: 0.383) and 0.000 (r: 0.581). A person who had high knowledge and motivation would show positive re- sults in managing his disease; for example, in the stroke concept, the patient will actively participate in the rehabilitation program, treatment program, and schedule visits to health care facilities. © 2021 Journal of Ners and Midwifery 201 Correspondence Address: STIKes Patria Husada Blitar – East Java, Indonesia P-ISSN : 2355-052X Email: tinasari.levi@gmail.com E-ISSN : 2548-3811 DOI: 10.26699/jnk.v8i2.ART.p201–205 This is an Open Access article under the CC BY-SA license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/) https://doi.org/10.26699/jnk.v8i2.ART.p201-205 https://crossmark.crossref.org/dialog/?doi=10.26699/jnk.v8i2.ART.p201-205&domain=pdf&date_stamp=2021-08-15 202 Jurnal Ners dan Kebidanan, Volume 8, Issue 2, August 2021, page 201–205 INTRODUCTION Stroke is a chronic disease that needs special attention. Stroke can cause severe brain damage, resulting in obstruction of the patient’s mobility to carry out daily activities (Irvan, Nuraini and Gayatri, 2021). According to WHO, stroke is defined as a focal clinical sign that develops rapidly (sometimes global) brain function disorders, which lasts more than 24 hours or results in death without any other cause than vascular (Canavan et al., 2013). Post- stroke conditions can be stressful and unpredict- able. After going through a critical period of stroke, it does not mean that there are no more problems that can arise. Some of them are consistency in maintaining physical and psychological health sta- tus. In addition, it also requires the ability to regu- late from within. This is necessary in order to main- tain the continuity of the long-term treatment and rehabilitation process that will be undertaken. Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the United States (Robinson-Smith & Pizzi, 2003) and is the number 3 cause of death in the United States (Price & Wilson, 2006). Two-thirds of strokes oc- cur in developing countries. The World Health Or- ganization (WHO) in 2012 stated that the death caused by stroke was 6.7 million people. The preva- lence of stroke in Indonesia increased from 8.3 thou- sandths in 2007 to 12.1 thousandths in 2013. Riskesdas 2018 data shows that the prevalence of stroke in Indonesia based on diagnosis by health workers is found to be 7.0 per mile and based on diagnosis by health professionals or symptoms of 12.1 per mile (Riskesdas, 2018). Self-efficacy can be  defined as  a  person’s belief in exercising control over himself which is manifested in particular actions and describes one’s stability in the face of new situations or stressful conditions (Volz et al., 2016). Patients who have undergone stroke treatment may begin to show depressive symptoms within a few months of the event as the stroke progresses to a long-term dis- ease (Sarkar et al., 2021). In one study, it was stated that three things are considered important in stroke patients, namely problems that may arise afterward, adaptive coping strategies, and effective adapta- tion responses to solve these problems (Dharma & Rahayu, 2021). Self-efficacy is also closely related to the inci- dence of post-stroke depression. The incidence of depression will appear at six months after the stroke. The reason could be dissatisfaction with the recov- ery process and too high expectations (Volz, Möbus, Letsch, & Werheid, 2016). If this is not followed up, it will have an impact on the patient’s psycho- logical condition. It is well known that psychologi- cal conditions also play a role and affect physical conditions. Knowledge and awareness of symptoms, risk factors, and actions taken to reduce the risk of re- current stroke events should concern post-stroke patients (Faiz et al., 2019). This knowledge should be one of the interventions provided in health care facilities and be conveyed in terms that are easy for the patient to understand. With adequate knowl- edge about stroke, it is expected that post-stroke patient motivation and self-efficacy will also be at optimal levels. Motivation is related to efforts to meet needs; the greater the need, the greater the motivation from within a person to do something (Donsu, 2017). Some previous studies have not iden- tified the correlation between knowledge, motiva- tion, and self-efficacy specifically. This study aims to analyze the correlation between the level of knowledge, motivation, and self-efficacy of post- stroke patients in Lumajang. METHOD This study used a cross-sectional design. The population of this study was post-stroke patients in Lumajang. Inclusion criteria in this study were post- stroke patients with stable condition and had a stroke for at least 6 months. The sampling tech- nique used was consecutive sampling with the num- ber of samples obtained, namely 55 samples. The variables of this study were the level of knowledge, motivation, and self-efficacy. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire. The knowledge questionnaire consists of 10 statement items that were compiled and modified from the research of Reani Zulfa (2012). The motivation questionnaire consists of 12 statement items that were compiled and modified from the research of Dheanita Rusti (2017). The self-efficacy questionnaire consists of 13 statement items from The Stroke Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (Riazi, Aspden and Jones, 2014). Data analysis was performed using the Rank Spearman test. RESULT Based on Table 1, it is found that almost half of the respondents are 56-65 years old (49.1%), most of the respondents are male (58.2%), most of the 203Fatmawati, Pradana, The Level of Knowledge, Motivation, and Self Efficacy of ... respondents have primary school education (52.7%), almost all respondents have suffered a stroke for more than one year (83.6%), most respondents had low knowledge (56.4%), most respondents had the moderate motivation (65.5%), and most respondents had moderate self-efficacy (63.6%). Based on Table 2, the results show a correla- tion between the level of knowledge and the self- efficacy of post-stroke patients (p-value: 0.004). The strength of the correlation between these two vari- ables is low (r: 0.383). Based on Table 3, the re- sults show a correlation between motivation and self-efficacy of post-stroke patients (p-value: 0.000). The strength of the correlation between these two variables is moderate (r: 0.581). DISCUSSION The results of the analysis of the characteris- tics of the respondents showed that almost half of the respondents in this study were 56-65 years old. Age, as one of the distinct characteristics of people, is an essential variable in epidemiological studies because there are quite a lot of diseases found with various frequency variations caused by age (Noor, 2008). In one study, it was stated that the percent- age of the age group> 55 years suffered more strokes compared to the 40-55year age group (Lestari, 2010). Another study also states that stroke tends to occur in older adults (Budi, Bahar, & Sasmita, 2020). The increase in stroke frequency with increasing age is related to the aging process, Table 1.

Correlation Between Knowledge Level and Self-efficacy in Post-Stroke Patients in which all organs of the body decline in function, including the brain’s blood vessels. Blood vessels become inelastic, especially the endothelial part, which experiences thickening at the intima, result- ing in a narrower lumen of blood vessels and de- creasing cerebral blood flow (Kristiyawati, Irawaty, & Hariyati, 2009). Analysis of the characteristics of respondents based on gender shows that most of the respon- dents are male. However, this is not one of the de- 204 Jurnal Ners dan Kebidanan, Volume 8, Issue 2, August 2021, page 201–205 termining factors that can cause a person to have a stroke. This is because stroke can be caused multi- factorial, not only because of gender, including dia- betes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, smoking, al- cohol, and heart disease. A person who has one or more risk factors is more likely to have a stroke than ordinary people at some point during his life if these risk factors are not controlled (Bethesda Stroke, 2012) Analysis of the characteristics of respondents based on education level shows that most respon- dents have a basic level of education, namely SD. The level of education is one of the factors that can affect a person’s knowledge. In this study, there was a correlation between the level of education and knowledge of post-stroke patients (p-value: 0.001; r: 0.433). Knowledge is information that someone knows or is aware of. Knowledge is not limited to descriptions, hypotheses, concepts, theo- ries, principles, and procedures, which are Baye- sian Probability accurate or useful (Taufik, 2010). One study stated that there was a correlation be- tween education and knowledge about stroke (Pasaribu, Tedjasukmana and Gu, 2018). Educa- tion is needed to obtain information, for example, things that support knowledge to improve the qual- ity of life (Taufik, 2010). As a disease that requires long-term care, stroke patients must learn about the disease and the entire range of treatments they will undergo. This is to maintain the continuity of the patient care process. It has been explained that post-stroke patients need knowledge about stroke for the continuity of care; it requires health workers to provide explana- tions and knowledge about matters related to stroke in post-stroke patients. The education provided must use easy-for post-stroke patients to understand who come from the general public. As a disease with long-term treatment, stroke patients must have good self-efficacy. Several things can affect self-efficacy, including knowledge and motivation. In one study, it was stated that there was a statistically significant correlation between knowl- edge and self-efficacy in the management of pedi- atric pain (Stanley and Pollard, 2013). Another study states a significant correlation between knowledge and self-efficacy in family caregivers of mental dis- orders patients (Pratama and Widodo, 2017). The higher a person’s knowledge, the higher the self- efficacy. Apart from knowledge, motivation also has something to do with self-efficacy. One study states a correlation between motivation and self-efficacy (Ariani, Sitorus and Gayatri, 2012). A person who has high motivation will show positive results in managing his disease; for example, in the stroke concept, the patient will actively participate in the rehabilitation program, treatment program and schedule visits to health care facilities. The find- ings in this study are people with an age range of 56-65 years have moderate motivation with a sig- nificant amount. This shows that this age becomes a motivational barrier to be able to live optimally in post-stroke patients. Efficacy is a belief and is accompanied by a trust-based ability to exercise control within its lim- its of function and over events (Zakeri, Rahmany, & Labone, 2016). Self-efficacy is a fundamental idea of social cognitive theory. Self-efficacy is an individual’s belief in organizing and performing spe- cific tasks needed to achieve expected results (Bandura, 1997). By having good self-efficacy, post- stroke patients can overcome things or problems that can affect their life. Patients become aware of the coping ability to adapt, regulate life after stroke, and control feelings. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that post-stroke patients have good knowl- Motivation Self-efficacy Total Low Moderate High f % f % f % f % Low 6 10.9 0 0 0 0 6 10.9 Moderate 2 3.6 28 50.9 6 10.9 36 65.6 High 0 0 7 12.7 6 10.9 13 23.6 Total 8 14.5 35 63.6 12 21.8 55 100 p 0.000 < 0.05 r: 0.581 Table 3.

It is associated with the long-term goal of post-stroke patient care, namely, improving the patient’s quality of life. CONCLUSION The results showed that there was a correla- tion between knowledge and self-efficacy in post- stroke patients. The higher the knowledge, the higher the self-efficacy. Other results from this study indicate that there is a correlation between motiva- tion and self-efficacy in post-stroke patients. A per- son who has high motivation will show positive re- sults in managing his disease; for example, in the stroke concept, the patient will actively participate in the rehabilitation program, treatment program and schedule visits to health care facilities. SUGGESTION Post-stroke conditions can be stressful and unpredictable. Therefore, the role of nurses must be increased in providing holistic nursing care for post-stroke patients. The general purpose of pro- viding holistic nursing care to post-stroke patients is to help patients regain independence in daily ac- tivities. Activities that can be carried out include providing health education with interesting and at- tractive media. The information provided may in- clude concepts about stroke, treatment, and the re- quired rehabilitation process. In addition, nurses also need to ensure that post-stroke patients still have a strong motivation to undergo a series of therapies. This is important to do to maintain the high self- efficacy of post-stroke patients. REFFERENCE Ariani, Y., Sitorus, R. and Gayatri, D.
