Beban merawat pasien skizofrenia sering menyebabkan kelelahan fisik, emosional, dan finansial bagi Primary Family Caregiver (PFC). Mekanisme koping yang digunakan PFC, seperti dukungan sosial atau penghindaran, memiliki peran penting dalam mengelola beban tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan mekanisme koping dengan tingkat kelelahan pada PFC dalam merawat pasien dengan skizofrenia di Aceh. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross-sectional study. Populasi penelitian adalah PFC yang mendampingi pasien skizofrenia berobat jalan di Poliklinik Rumah Sakit Jiwa Aceh. Sampel dipilih menggunakan teknik convenience sampling yang berjumlah 275 orang. Alat pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner data demografi, Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WOC) dan Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis univariat dan bivariat dengan uji statistik Chi-Square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya hubungan signifikan antara 6 sub variabel mekanisme koping dengan tingkat kelelahan (P < 0,05). Namun, mekanisme koping confrontative coping dan planful problem-solving tidak menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan, masing-masing dengan nilai sebesar (58,8%) dan (55,3%). Diharapkan rumah sakit jiwa memberikan perhatian lebih pada kondisi psikologis PFC, terutama melalui program pendampingan psikologis dan pelatihan pengelolaan stres secara adaptif untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan PFC dalam merawat pasien skizofrenia.

Caring for patients with schizophrenia often places significant physical, emotional, and financial strain on Primary Family Caregivers (PFC). The coping mechanisms employed by PFCs, such as seeking social support or avoidance, play a critical role in managing these burdens. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between coping mechanisms and fatigue levels among PFCs caring for patients with schizophrenia in Aceh. The research employed a cross-sectional study design. The population includes PFCs accompanying outpatient schizophrenia patients at the Aceh Mental Hospital’s clinic. A total of 275 participants were selected using convenience sampling. Data collection utilized demographic questionnaires, the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WOC), and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Data were analyzed through univariate and bivariate analyses using the Chi-Square test. The results revealed a significant relationship between six sub-variables of coping mechanisms and fatigue levels (P < 0,05). However, the coping mechanisms of confrontive coping and planful problem-solving did not show significant relationships, with respective rates of (58,8%) and (55,3%). It is recommended that mental health hospitals pay greater attention to the psychological condition of PFCs by implementing psychological assistance programs and adaptive stress management training to improve the well-being of PFCs in caring for patients with schizophrenia.
