Summary
The increase in the proportion of mental disorders in Indonesia in the data obtained by the results of basic health research in 2018 is quite significant when compared to the results of basic health research in 2013, up from 1.7% to 7%. Violent behavior is one of positive symptoms which experienced by the mental disorder patients. This condition is a burden for its family [5]. Some of the families decided to do shelter and some of them referred to the mental hospital to be treated. The mental hospital conditions which have limited treatment capacity often make the family have to bring the patient home. Post treatment service cannot be disobeyed in order to handle this condition. Independent patient is the aim of the treatment in order to decrease family burden. Patient empowerment inside the family and community must be done as early as can be even on hospitalized patient [8,9]
