Family support for leprosy patients in the Working Area of Puskesmas Elly Uyo is low. In the early days the patient suffered from leprosy, there was absolutely no family support for 2 to 4 months. The concept of leprosy in the working area of Puskesmas Elly Uyo is still low; they often isolate themselves from the community as well as to the family. Every month the puskesmas collect lepers to be given medicine and counseling, but only about 10 lepers come.

This study aims to find out the relationship between family support and the concept of self-leper in the working area of Puskesmas Elly Uyo.
