Abstract
Mental disorders are disorders that occur in the brain which are characterized by
disruption of behavior, processes, thinking, emotions and perceptions which are
characterized by forms of behavioral deviation due to emotions and the discovery of
irregularities in behavior. In Indonesia, in 2022, it is estimated that there will be around 450
thousand (ODGJ) with severe, mental disorders caused by a lack of instrumental family
support in caring for patients. This can be seen from the lack of family acceptance of ODGJ
which is characterized by a lack of family involvement in caring for, providing attention,
giving encouragement, showing affection for ODGJ. . The aim of this research is to
determine the relationship between family instrumental support and family acceptance of
people with mental disorders (ODGJ) at the Mental Health Clinic, Andalas Health Center,
