Healing a patient after a stroke will have an impact on their emotional status. This study aims to analyze the relationship between family support and emotional regulation in disabled patients after stroke. This research uses a cross-sectional design. The population in this study was 45 patients with disabilities after stroke. The sample size in this study was calculated using the Slovin formula, so based on the population size, we obtained a sample size of 40 patients. Respondents were selected using random sampling techniques. The variables studied were family support as independent and emotional regulation as dependent. Data were collected using the Perceived Social Support Family Scale questionnaire and the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire. The results showed that family support for disabled patients after stroke was mostly good (45%), and emotional regulation for disabled patients after stroke was mostly good (57.5%). The close relationship between family support and emotional regulation is proven by the value r = 0.768; p = 0.01. The conclusion of this study is that there is a strong relationship between family support and emotional regulation in post-stroke-disabled patients. Family support is important for managing emotions. Good emotional regulation will increase the patient's adaptive response to the disease. The implication of this research is that the patient's adaptive response will make it easier for patients to improve their recovery in health services
