Little is known about the experience of Chinese migrants to Australia who are caring for a person with schizophrenia. The research was exploratory in nature, providing information on the health, help-seeking behaviors, burden, and caring experiences of Chinese carers of people with schizophrenia in Melbourne. Ethnic Chinese carers of people with schizophrenia were recruited. Health care or social service professionals were also interviewed to understand the context of Chinese migrants in seeking help for mental health problems and caring for someone with psychiatric illness. Recommendations for Chinese migrants facing mental health problems and challenges for social work practice are described.

Care of patients with panic disorder has raised quality-of-life (QOL) issues. The purpose of this study was to identify the level of QOL in patients with panic disorder and to examine the relationships between QOL and adverse effects of medication, social support, course of illness, psychopathology, and demographic characteristics. We recruited 57 patients with panic disorder from outpatient psychiatric clinics. We measured their QOL levels with the Short Form of the World Health Organization Questionnaire on Quality of Life-Taiwan Version (the WHOQOL-BREF Taiwan version) and examined the correlates of QOL. The analysis revealed that multiple factors were associated with poor QOL in patients with panic disorder, including severe adverse effects of medication for panic disorder, perceived low social support, severe current panic symptoms, total Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) score>/=17, young age, being unmarried, and early onset of panic disorder. The QOL of patients with panic disorder was correlated to multiple factors that were specific to individual subjects and influenced by interactions with treatment and the social environment. The results provide screening factors so that clinicians can intervene to improve QOL for their patients with panic disorder.

“…Maternal complications during pregnancy were defined as having any one of the following: hypertension, proteinuria, maternal gestational diabetes, placenta previa, and abruptio placentae. SES was determined during the interview and classified into levels I-V (Hollingshead, 1975;Rin, Schooler, & Caudill, 1973). Because few families belonged to SES I or V (Table 1 ), families were then grouped as either "high" (SES I to II) or "low" (SES III to V; Hollingshead, 1975;Rin et al, 1973).…”

This cross-sectional study investigated the correlates of body mass index (BMI) and risk factors for overweight among 91 children with motor delay (MD) aged 9-73 months. Anthropometric measurements and questionnaires regarding multiple risk factors were obtained. Simple correlations between BMI percentile classifications and potential predictors were examined using Spearman's rank/Pearson's correlations and χ2 analysis. Multiple predictors of overweight were analyzed using logistic regression. BMI was correlated positively with higher caloric intake (rs = .21, p < .05) and negatively with passive activity (rs = .21, p < .05). When multiple predictors were considered, more severe dysphagia (odds ratio [OR], 2.81, p = .027, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.13-7.03) and antiepileptic drug use (OR, 19.11, p = .008, 95% CI, 2.14-170.81) had significant partial effects on overweight status. Agencies supporting early development should consider caregiver education regarding the potential implication of feeding style and medication on BMI.
