| Summary: | Families often lack knowledge about schizophrenia care, which hinders their ability to
provide adequate support. This study explores the factors affecting families' ability to
care for people with schizophrenia. It was quantitative research using a cross-sectional
approach method. There were 130 samples through the purposive sampling technique.
The independent variables were knowledge, behavior, motivation, health service
utilization, and social support. The dependent variable was families' ability to care for
people with schizophrenia. The Authors had been tested and declared the instrument
valid and reliable, with a Pearson correlation value of <0.5 and a Cronbach's alpha value
of >0.6. Data analysis used a multiple logistic regression test with a confidence level of
95% (α=0.05). The results found that all independent variables, knowledge (p=0.014),
behavior (p=0.042), motivation (p=0.031), health service utilization (p=0.029), and
social support (p=0.017), showed a p<0.05. In addition, the largest OR (Exp B) was
social support, 13.288. Thus, all independent variables significantly affect the families'
ability to care for people with schizophrenia. Furthermore, the most dominant factor was
social support. Good social support was 13 times more likely to improve families' ability
to care for people with schizophrenia. In conclusion, there is a significant influence of
knowledge, behavior, motivation, health services utilization, and social support on the
families' ability to care for individuals with schizophrenia. In addition, the most
dominant factor affecting families' ability to care for people with schizophrenia is social
support.
