Abstract

AbstrakKeluarga yang memiliki anggota keluarga dengan skizofrenia mengalami isolasi sosial karena stigma yang melekat pada penderita. Oleh karena itu, penderita skizofrenia sering kali disembunyikan dan dikucilkan agar tidak diketahui oleh masyarakat. Padahal persepsi keluarga yang positif sangat dibutuhkan dalam perawatan pasien skizofrenia. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui persepsi keluarga terhadap skizofrenia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif. Sampel pada penelitian ini berjumlah 80 responden, yang diambil dengan menggunakan teknik consecutive sampling. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner persepsi keluarga mengenai skizofrenia yang dikembangkan sendiri oleh peneliti dengan hasil uji reliabilitas sebesar 0.70. Analisis data pada penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan statistik deskriptif dalam bentuk analisis nilai mean. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar responden (62,5%) memiliki persepsi positif terhadap skizofrenia, sedangkan sisanya sebanyak 30 responden (37,5%) memiliki persepsi negatif terhadap skizofrenia. Hal ini menunjukkan masih terdapatnya persepsi keluarga yang negatif terhadap skizofrenia. Salah satu cara yang dapat dilakukan perawat untuk merubah persepsi keluarga tersebut adalah dengan melakukan penyuluhan kepada keluarga tentang skizofrenia. selain itu, rumah sakit jiwa perlu mengembangkan promosi kesehatan di masyarakat agar terciptanya persepsi yang positif terhadap skizofrenia.Kata kunci: Deskriptif kuantitatif, keluarga, persepsi, skizofrenia.

These feelings made them unable to provide proper care for a schizophrenic family member and later relapse.…”
