“…Concerning women, covariates including health problems, division of care and time in care activity were also associated with the manifestation of burden. These covariates have demonstrated an association with burden in previous studies conducted with caregiver populations where men and women were jointly analysed (Demarco et al, 2015; Sharma et al, 2018; Souza et al, 2017). However, the findings of this study suggest that, in our sample, several factors differ for male versus female caregivers.…”

This is a cross‐sectional study conducted with 537 family caregivers of people with mental disorders. The objective was to quantify the degree of burden experienced by men and women, and identify the most affected dimensions of their lives and the factors associated with burden manifestation by gender. The Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) scale was used to assess burden. Mean burden was 22.8 points (SD = 6.3) for men and 27.8 points (SD = 17.8) for women. The most affected dimensions among the two groups were the same; however, among the 22 items on the scale, 11 presented significantly higher means among women. The factors associated with the manifestation of burden in both groups were as follows: low income; use of psychotropic drugs; greater degree of dependence of the service user; not receiving family support; and dissatisfaction with family relationships. For men, manifestation of burden was also associated with age. For women, there were further associations of the outcome with the presence of health problems, not having someone to share care with, and caring for the assisted person for >10 years. Our findings suggest that the degree of burden of family members caring for those with mental disorders is associated with gender, and this should be considered by services responsible for planning care shared by professionals and relatives. Guidelines for Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE Statement) were adhered to in this study.

“…In addition, this review examines the characteristics and culture background of participants reported by the studies. Table 2 indicates that, in terms of the geographic location of the studies, 33.33% were conducted with participants from rural locations (Kaufman, 2015 ; Shidhaye et al, 2016 ; Maselko et al, 2018 ), 33.33% were conducted with participants from rural and non-rural locations (Mathias et al, 2015 ; Lee et al, 2016 ; Seponski et al, 2018 ), 11.11% were conducted with participants from non-rural locations only (Xu et al, 2015 ), and 22.22% did not report the geographical location the participant was recruited from (Manning et al, 2015 ; Sharma et al, 2018 ). In terms of income status, only 33.33% of the found manuscripts provide information on the participant's income status and majority of the participants are of middle- to low-income groups (Kaufman, 2015 ; Lee et al, 2016 ; Shidhaye et al, 2016 ).…”

Relationship Between Debt and Depression, Anxiety, Stress, or Suicide Ideation in Asia: A Systematic Review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: This article aims to review research manuscripts in the past 5 years that focus on the effects of debt on depression, anxiety, stress, or suicide ideation in Asian countries. Methods: A search for literature based on the PRISMA guidelines was conducted on Medline, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and ScienceDirect, resulting in nine manuscripts meeting inclusion criteria. The studies were conducted in Thailand, Korea, Singapore, Pakistan, India, Cambodia, and China. Results: The findings of the studies show that there is evidence to support that being in debt is related to Asian participants experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, or suicide ideation. However, the studies are limited to quantitative studies only. The definition of debt is also unclear in most manuscripts. Few manuscripts also examined how other factors influence the relationship between debt and mental illness. Conclusion: There are limited studies on the psychological effects of debt on the Asian population. Future studies should focus on the relationship between debt and psychological well-being among this population.

“…Families, as primary caregivers, are often overwhelmed by the uncontrolled behavior of schizophrenia patients (Mantovani et al, 2016). Research conducted by Sharma et al (2017) stated that 72% of families had high-stress levels, 25% had depression, and 29% had anxiety related to the treatment of schizophrenia patients. Some of the effects of the burden of care include mental health problems (e.g., depression, anxiety, stress, and fatigue), decreased physical health (e.g.…”

Introduction: The long-term care in schizophrenia patients can cause care burdens, which will relate to the family's decision to do pasung. The perceived burden will be even heavier because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This review aims to identify the family care burden affecting pasung in schizophrenic patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This scoping review was conducted by searching four databases, namely ProQuest, Science Direct, and EBSCO, and Google Scholar in the past ten years. This study uses the PRISMA 2009 protocol in filtering articles from the database. Researchers summarize based on the significance value for quantitative research, based on themes’ qualitative research, and discussed factors mentioned which may influence the family. Thus, we obtained 15 articles for final review. Results: The results obtained that the subjective burden felt by the family is a feeling of worry and sadness due to the patient's aggressive behavior and the safety of the patient, family, and environment. The objective burdens most felt by families are financial burdens, both medical costs, transportation to reach mental health services, and the cost of daily living. The COVID-19 pandemic will affect both types of care burdens, thereby affecting the quality of care for families with schizophrenia patients in pasung. Conclusion: Schizophrenia patients are one of the populations that are vulnerable to COVID-19. Nurse plays a role in the ability to overcome the burden of schizophrenia care and improve adaptation to the current pandemic to create optimal mental health in the community.
