The research design used a "Quasi experiment pre-post-test with a control group." The purposive sampling technique was used with a sample of 44 people divided into two groups. The instrument used is Brief COPE. The results showed that in the intervention group, there was a significant difference in the average score with a p-value of 0.000. Meanwhile, in the control group, there was no significant difference in the average score with a p-value of 0.492. There is a difference in the average score between the intervention group and the control group, with a p-value of 0.023. In conclusion, there is an influence of family psychoeducation on parents' coping strategies in caring for children with thalassemia.
