However, while there is evidence of family psycho-education in caring schizophrenia's patient, there is limited understanding how the family support could give benefit for the schizophrenia recovery. The aim of this study was to qualitatively describe how was the family support for schizophrenia patients on community.

Data were drawn from audio tapes, and conducted in-depth individual interviews with ten family whose schizophrenia patient's member of family ever been hospitalized. The transcripts of family support were analyzed. A thematic analysis was conducted to identify what was occurring in the family support for caring schizophrenia on community. There were three descriptions of the family support which consisted of the compliance of antipsychotic administration, the better family understanding of caring schizophrenia, and the increasing quality life of schizophrenia patient.
