Therefore, mental health education programs are important to improve understanding and management of patients' mental health conditions. This study aims to evaluate the effect of mental health education programs on improving patients' quality of life. With a focus on understanding their condition, stress management abilities, and skills in dealing with daily challenges related to mental health. The research method used is quantitative and qualitative with a prospective intervention study. Data was collected through questionnaires. The results of this study indicate an increase in patients' understanding of their mental health conditions, as well as an improvement in their ability to manage stress and related daily challenges.

The conclusion of this research is that mental health education programs have a positive impact on the quality of life of patients with mental health disorders. Increased understanding, stress management skills, and feelings of ability to face daily challenges help patients feel more able to manage their mental health conditions more effectively, which in turn improves their overall quality of life.
