Introduction Stroke is the third largest cause of death after heart disease and cancer. Post-stroke patients who have disabilities will lose independence and become dependent on others. The role of the family is significant in helping patients meet psychological, social and spiritual needs. In addition, the family plays a role in recovery and optimizing the client’s motor skills. A family member is the primary support system of direct service providers in every situation. This study aimed to examine the relationship between knowledge, self-efficacy and family skills in doing a range of motion exercises post-stroke. Methods Correlational research method with a Cross-Sectional Study approach with post-stroke client family research samples was taken in total sampling with 55 respondents. Analysis using bivariate analysis with Spearman’s-rho correlation test. Results The results showed that family knowledge was above average with a Median value of 15.00 (IQR = 2), family self-efficacy was above average with a Mean value of 51.47 (SD = 11.67), and family skills were above average with a mean value of 7.73 (SD = 2.70). Discussion The results of bivariate analysis stated that there was a relationship between family knowledge and family skills in doing a range of motion exercises with p-value = 0.00 (r = 0.613), and there was a relationship between family self-efficacy and family skills in doing a range of motion exercises with p-value = 0.00 (r = 0.497). This research has implications for community nurses to provide interventions and enhance visite to family members with post-stroke.
