With the stigma issues in mental illness that still remain, the impact would be greater on the family caregivers. Their behavior toward patients creates a burden on care. Objectives: Assess the relationship between attitude toward mental illness and burden of family caregivers. Methods: Descriptive with a cross sectional approach. There were 120 family caregivers of patients with Schizophrenia in the hospital in Surabaya, Indonesia participated on this study by using purposive sampling technique. The instruments on this study were Attitudes towards Schizophrenia Questionnaire (ATSQ) and Burden Assessment Schedule (BAS). Results: The higher burden correlates with the negative attitude toward mental illness (r(118)= .54, p= .000). Conclusion: Realistic attitude would relieve the burden for family caregiver. Therefore, need more knowledge for family and society to shape their behavior toward patients with mental illness.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis is a very dangerous disease and can cause death. Many efforts have been made by the government to overcome this disease and have saved around 66 million lives since 2000. However, efforts to overcome this disease have been in vain due to the pandemic of COVID-19. Objectives: The aim of this research is to identify the relationship between family support and the health behavior of pulmonary tuberculosis sufferers. Methods: This research uses a cross-sectional approach using incidental sampling techniques. The sample in this study was 51 pulmonary tuberculosis patients at Community Health Center X who had undergone treatment for two to six months. Results: Based on the data obtained in this study, the majority of respondents with good family support had good health behavior, namely 56%. The analytical test used to determine the relationship in this research is the Spearman rank analysis test. The results of the Spearman analysis obtained a p-value of 0.001 Conclusion: it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between family support and self-care for pulmonary TB clients (p-value <0.05), with a correlation coefficient showing a positive value of 0.442. This shows that the higher the family support for pulmonary tuberculosis sufferers, the better the implementation of health behavior by sufferers.
