F amily plays a significant
role for psychosis patients
especially in preventing relapse
and maintaining mental health.
However, limited research
explores in which way and how a
family can support schizophrenic
people, particularly from patients
and parents’ perspectives. This
research aimed to examine the
role of family for supporting
schizophrenic patients. A case
study design with a semi-
structured interview technique
was applied to nine people
diagnosed with schizophrenia
and two caregivers at Rumah
Berdaya Denpasar: a psychosocial
rehabilitation for schizophrenic
people. Data were analyzed using
thematic analysis. The result of
this research indicated that family
as the closest unit can support
people living with schizophrenia to
improve mental health by helping
them to get access of medical
treatment, provide care and
support: emotional, financial and
instrumental.
