I presented secondary data, those were, information obtained from books, manuals, and written reports, as proof. According to research on family resilience after taking on the role of the informal family caregiver, informal family caregivers believed that People with Schizoprhenia (ODS) had had a positive or negative impact on their lives, hence family resilience had a more positive impact, such as believing they would be able to survive because they are a family member or relatives. In addition, the ability of family caregivers to adapt and survive in the face of vulnerabilities or problems could create resilience. Meanwhile, family caregivers who were unable to adapt and survive in the face of problems made their families more vulnerable than before.
