Mentally ill patients need support from the family to comply with a medication adherence program. If ODGJ does not comply with taking medication, the healing process will also be hampered. Therefore, the main factor that causes ODGJ not to comply with taking medication is family support.

This type of research is correlational using a cross sectional approach. The population in this study was 38 families of ODGJ (people with mental disorders), the sample size used in this study was 38 respondents. The technique used is total sampling. The statistical test used is the sperm correlation test.

The results of this study showed that family support was very high (74.4%) for medication adherence (73.6%). The results of sperm correlation analysis showed P-Value = 0.000 (P < 0.05). This means that H0 is rejected, which means there is a relationship between family support and compliance with taking medication in ODGJ patients at the Setono Ponorogo Community Health Center.

The conclusion of this study is that family support is very important in medication adherence for ODGJ patients at the Setono Ponorogo health center. And for suggestions, it is hoped that families and the community can provide support to ODGJ patients so that they can increase public knowledge about mental disorders and optimal treatment.
