Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder often accompanied by symptoms of social isolation, leading to a decline in interaction abilities and negatively impacting patients' quality of life. At Soeharto Heerdjan Hospital, social isolation is one of the most common nursing diagnoses. Social Skill Training (SST) has been proven effective in improving patients' socialization skills; however, its specific impact on quality of life has not been extensively studied. This study aims to analyze the effect of Social Skill Training on the quality of life of clients with schizophrenia. The study employed a quasi-experimental design—specifically a "before-and-after with control" design—by administering SST to respondents. The sample consisted of 60 clients with schizophrenia: 30 received generalist therapy, while the other 30 received both generalist therapy and Social Skill Training. Quality of life was measured using the WHOQOL instrument and analyzed using the independent sample t-test, and and is a standard instrument. An improvement in quality of life was observed following the administration of Social Skill Training. Analysis results indicated a significant effect of SST on the quality of life of clients with schizophrenia (p < 0.05). Social Skill Training influences the improvement of quality of life in clients with schizophrenia.
