Enhancing Family Readiness to Prevent Relapse in Individuals with Severe Mental Disorders in Indonesia

Abstract

Objective: Effective relapse prevention for individuals with severe mental disorders requires understanding the role of psychosocial factors in readiness-relapse. This study evaluates the impact of family support, motivation, coping mechanisms, and experience on readiness-relapse. Methods: A correlational study was conducted with 150 respondents from three primary healthcare centers in Kebumen Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. Participants were selected using proportional random sampling and completed validated questionnaires. Data were analyzed for validity, reliability, normality, and hypothesis testing using T-tests and F-tests. Results: Motivation was identified as a significant predictor of readiness-relapse (p =0.0001), demonstrating its crucial role in preventing relapse.
