This research uses a quantitative approach with a cross sectional design. The population in this study was 126 patients with mental disorders with a sample of 56 respondents who were families who provided care for ODGJ patients using accidental sampling data collection techniques. The research instrument is a questionnaire which was constructed by the researcher himself and has been tested for validity and reliability using a trial sample of 20 people. Based on the results of the analysis using chi square statistical testing, it was found that the p-value of family support (0.018), family role (0.024) and source of family support (0.001) was related to the length of treatment for ODGJ.
