Patients who have a positive attitude to take medication will be more adherence to undergo treatment and closer to recovery. Attitude can be influenced by self-efficacy. Individuals with high self-efficacy towards an object, then attitudes toward the object will increase as well. This study aimed to determine the relationship of self-efficacy to recover and the attitude of taking medication in schizophrenia patients.

Pearson's correlation coefficient test results obtained p-value 0.272 (p> 0.1) showed there was no relationship between self-efficacy to recover and the attitude of taking medication in schizophrenic patients.Some aspects related with self-efficacy to recover and the attitude of taking medication in schizophrenia patients who were not included in this study could be the cause of the lack of association in this study.
