with schizophrenia at Simpang Empat Health Center starting from assessment, diagnosis
formulation, nursing action to evaluation. In this case study using 1 family as a subject in the study
or a subject that became the center of attention or research target that one of his family members
was diagnosed with schizophrenia by a doctor.

health education so that what was conveyed was really attached to the family, so that in their daily
lives they always do a healthy lifestyle so as to maintain and improve the health status of his
