The family experienced a lot of physical, emotional, and financial distress due to a patient's abnormal behavior. Family caregivers of schizophrenia patients face a variety of challenges that have a significant impact on mental health and physical health. The complexity faced by family caregivers requires skill in overcoming the burden experienced, also known as a coping strategy. Individuals who more often use problem-focused coping are more able to deal with stress situations compared with the use of emotion-focused coping that improves the quality of life.
