Social relationships encompass all aspects of personal relationships, social support, and sexual activities. Thus, it important to explore the association between the degree of disability and social relationships.</p>

<p><strong>Methods: </strong>This cross-sectional study involved 89 patients with leprosy who lived in the Donorojo Leprosy Rehabilitation Village.</p>

<p><strong>Results:</strong> Our analysis showed that 77.5% of the respondents had grade 2 disabilities and that the average social relationship score was 69.72 of 100. Correlation between disability grades and social relationship domains was found (p = 0.032). Limitations in interaction and social participation increased with increasing disability grades.</p>

<p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Provision of facilities and assistance from the Donorojo Leprosy Rehabilitation Unit is expected to improve the quality of life of the patients with leprosy.</p>
