This study aimed to develop a family resilience model to improve the quality of life of families with stroke patients. A cross-sectional quantitative study was employed to measure the data from 130 families. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to examine the relationship between the variables. The analysis method of Partial Least Square (PLS) was used to evaluate if the proposed model is suitable for the data based on goodness-of-fit. The family resilience model focused on the quality of life of a stroke-impaired family has been compiled with the variable modelling comprising of family crisis, stress management, and family resilience. The achievement of high family resilience was followed by improving the quality of family life with stroke in the domains of physical health, psychological, social and environmental. Family health efforts related to primary health care is expected to increase family resilience and quality of life.
