Abstract

Background: Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder that affects the way an individual thinks, feels, and behaves. Patients with schizophrenia are susceptible to relapse, with approximately 80% of patients experiencing at least one episode of relapse in their lifetime. Objective: This study aims to explore nurses' experiences in implementing recovery nursing care to prevent relapse in patients with schizophrenia. Methodology: The research method used was a qualitative study with in-depth interviews with 15 nurses who were experienced in caring for patients with schizophrenia in various hospitals in Indonesia. Results: Nurses reported positive experiences, such as strong therapeutic relationships with patients and success in helping patients manage their symptoms. These findings indicate the importance of systemic support and ongoing education for nurses in order to implement effective care. Conclusion: Nurses' experiences in implementing recovery nursing care vary widely and are influenced by many factors. Therefore, collaborative efforts are needed between health care providers, government, and the community to improve the quality of care for patients with schizophrenia and prevent relapse. This study is expected to provide deeper insight into the role of nurses in the recovery process of schizophrenia patients.
