In an effort to maximize the recovery process, the role of family is crucial in the care of schizophrenia patients.

Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between family resilience and medication adherence in schizophrenia patients. Methods: This research is a quantitative study using a descriptive-analytic approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample size of 96 respondents consists of patients and their families. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. The data collection method used is a questionnaire. The statistical test used is the Gamma Test. Results: The study showed a significant relationship between family resilience and medication adherence in schizophrenia patients (p = 0.004) with a moderate correlation and a positive direction (r = 0.453). Conclusion: Family resilience is essential in the process of caring for patients with schizophrenia, where each family member can provide positive motivation, support, and work together to overcome any difficulties or problems experienced by the patient, including taking medication regularly.
