Abstract

Background: Mental disorders affect approximately 20% of Indonesia’s population. In East Kalimantan, 2,679 individuals have been recorded experiencing mental disorders, with 399 cases reported in East Kutai Regency. The highest cases, 130 individuals, reside in the Sangatta Utara Community Health Center working area. This study aimed to examine the factors associated with family responses to individuals living with severe mental disorders.

Methods: This study employed an observational design using a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 130 families of individuals diagnosed with severe mental disorders. Data were analysed using chi-square tests and binary logistic regression to determine the association between variables.

Results: The study indicates significant associations between family burden, social support, and family responses to individuals with severe mental disorders (p = 0.001); family attitudes were found to be significantly associated with their responses (p = 0.007). However, family coping mechanisms did not have a statistically significant association with family responses (p = 0.212).  

Conclusion: Family burden, social support, and family attitudes are key factors influencing family responses to members with severe mental disorders. It is recommended that the Sangatta Utara Community Health Centre implement targeted counselling and awareness programs for families and community health workers to enhance their understanding and support mechanisms.
