To understand the motivation of volunteers in caring for people with mental disorders. A systematic review was conducted by collecting the results of scientific publications.

Determination of the number of articles and articles contained in the review was determined by using PRISMA methods. Eight articles were found using the inclusion criteria for the article. Volunteer’s motivation was for their own goodness and service for others. Motivation of own goodness was divided into personal growth, altruism and self-existence. Motivation to serve others was to help others and contribute to society. There was strong evidence that volunteers had good motivation in improving the health status of people with mental disorders.
