Violent behavior risk is one of the most common nursing diagnoses in paranoid schizophrenia patients, which can endanger themselves, others, and the environment. This study aimed to describe psychiatric nursing care for a patient with the main problem of violent behavior risk due to paranoid schizophrenia at Arimbi Ward, RSJD dr. Amino Gondohutomo, Central Java Province. A descriptive case study design was applied, involving data collection through interviews, observation, documentation review, and literature study. The nursing process included assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation.
