Abstract
Data from the Tampan Mental Hospital, Riau Province, in 2025, there were 4631 people with mental disorders being treated. Families caring for patients with mental disorders are vulnerable to stress, which can affect their emotional well-being. The results of a survey by researchers at the Tampan Mental Hospital in Riau Province of 5 patient families revealed that the families experienced physical and psychological fatigue as well as a lack of family and environmental support. The study aimed to determine the relationship between psychosocial support and stress among families of patients with mental disorders at Tampan Mental Hospital in Riau Province. It employed a quantitative research approach with a cross-sectional design. The population comprised 389 family members caring for patients with mental disorders at Tampan Mental Hospital in Riau Province, with a sample of 198 respondents selected using accidental sampling. Data were analyzed using Spearman Rank Correlation test. The results showed that the majority of respondents, 54%, did not receive psychosocial support and 53% experienced moderate stress. The Spearman Rank correlation test showed a significant relationship between psychosocial support and stress among families of patients with mental disorders at Tampan Mental Hospital, Riau Province (p<0.001; r=-0.343). It is recommended that Tampan Mental Hospital in Riau Province provide training in psychosocial support for nurses and develop psychosocial support programs tailored to the needs of families and patients with mental disorders
