“…In contrast to changes in relationships with the patient, caregivers in one study, in general, did not report changes in relationships with others following hospitalization (24). Caregivers of youth reported similar findings – no effect (15) or negative effect (30, 31). …”

“…Using data from caregivers of youth, quantitative studies comparing caregivers of hospitalized individuals to caregivers of individuals not hospitalized (12–15) found the former group experienced more distress than the latter. For example, caregivers reported experiencing more distress, as measured by the general severity index of the SCL-90, three days after their adolescent was admitted to the hospital than caregivers of a non-clinical sample (16).…”

“…A study by Snell and colleagues examined changes in depression and anxiety among caregivers of youth with various diagnoses (38). From one week to three weeks post-hospitalization, 35 caregivers rated their distress using a Likert scale (ranging from 1 to 7, with 7 indicating more anxiety or depression); their ratings decreased significantly from week-1 to week-3.…”

Objective The purpose of this article was to systematically review literature on the impact of patients’ psychiatric hospitalizations on caregivers. Implications for practice and research are presented. Methods A systematic search of Web of Knowledge, PsychInfo, and Medline (PubMed) was conducted for peer-reviewed articles published before August 31, 2013. Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed method studies were included if they focused on caregiver outcomes and contained data collected directly from caregivers of patients who had been psychiatrically hospitalized. Results Twenty-nine articles met the inclusion criteria. Caregivers are heterogeneous in their reaction to the psychiatric hospitalization; however, many report distress. Caregivers also often report that they experience stigma, disruptions in daily life, worse physical health, economic strain, and changes in relationships following hospitalization. Negative reactions to the hospitalization may decrease over time, but can remain elevated when compared to the general population. Nonetheless, many caregivers also experience positive changes as a result of the hospitalization. The reaction of caregivers may be influenced by the severity of the patient’s psychiatric problems as well as the caregiver’s demographics and style of coping. Conclusions Caregivers experience a range of reactions to the psychiatric hospitalizations and providing caregivers with psychoeducation on their possible reaction as well as techniques to assist them may improve clinical outcomes for patients. Future research is needed to understand the heterogeneity in caregiver’s reactions to the patient’s psychiatric hospitalization.

“…Other studies on the subject have focused attention on the specific needs of adolescents with disruptive behavior disorder (Oruche et al, 2014)], autism spectrum disorder (Nichols & Blakeley-Smith, 2010), psychosis (Shpigner et al, 2013;Sin et al, 2005), or deliberate self-harm (Byrne et al, 2008), or have been focused on service evaluation for accessibility and appropriateness (Coyne et al, 2015), or on the relationship with health professionals and role change at the family level (Harden, 2005). Research in which participating parents are recruited after or during their child's hospitalization in a child and adolescent psychiatric unit is less common, and we also find the experience focused on certain adolescent diagnoses such as depression (Snell et al, 2010), or suicide attempts (Wagner et al, 2000).…”

The experience of parents faced with the admission of their adolescent to a child and adolescent psychiatric inpatient unit. A qualitative study with focus groups

The admission of an adolescent to a child and adolescent psychiatric inpatient unit has a serious impact on the entire family unit. The emotional experience of those primary caregivers has been scarcely studied qualitatively despite being recommended by previous research. This study aims to examine the experience of parents of adolescents with mental health needs that required psychiatric hospitalization in a child and adolescent unit. Qualitative cross-sectional research was carried out under the recommendations of Grounded Theory with three Focus Groups of parents (N = 22) of adolescents who required psychiatric hospitalization in a child and adolescent ward. The COREQ quality criteria were applied. The parental experience implies a high level of emotional suffering modulated by feelings of guilt, stigma, parental awareness of their child’s illness and the passage of time. The use of Prochaska’s and Diclemente’s trans-theoretical model of health behavior change is useful in understanding the parental experience.
