“…There are few studies that have provided an empirical comparison between the different pathological conditions that affect the experience of care of caregivers. Glozman (Glozman, 2004) analyzed these aspects focusing on the differences in QoL in various pathological conditions and providing a valuable descriptive analysis. Literature has so far treated separately the consequences in terms of physical and psychological health (quality of life) of caregivers caring for people with chronic physical, mental or neuropsychological disease.…”

Several studies have been focused on the quality of life of caregivers caring for patients with exclusively physical or mental diseases, but little is known about the differences related to the burden experienced.This study had as its subject the burden of caregivers and their quality of life involved in helping patients with diseases (1) physical, (2) mental and (3) both pathological conditions. We interviewed 294 caregivers of outpatients undergoing physiotherapic, psychiatric and neuroriabilitative treatment. The evaluation was carried out with three instruments: an informative questionnaire, the Caregiver Burden Inventory (CBI) and the Quality of Life Index (QoL -I).Results show that both the burden and the quality of life are significantly worse for caregivers who care for patients with both physical and mental diseases. Caregivers most disadvantaged are those who indicate as a reason of care the sense of duty rather than the affection. Finally, the sons and daughters, differently from the parents, showed a greater burden of required time and a lower quality of life.The investigation of the motivational aspects of the caregivers and the increased knowledge of the differences between the emotional experience of parents and children can contribute to the definition of more specific psycho-educational interventions and support.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a life-long condition with a wide range of symptoms which can have a profound impact on all aspects of a patient's life, including future plans, self-confidence, selfesteem, relationships, quality of life, and employment prospects. Living with MS can certainly be difficult and frustrating. Over time, however, most people find ways to adapt and come to terms with many changes that MS can bring and do manage to live fairly full lives.

“…Tingkat pendidikan yang tinggi dapat mempengaruhi pengambilan keputusan family caregiver, pekerjaan, dan kehidupan keluarga mereka. Ketika seseorang memiliki tingkat pendidikan yang tinggi, maka mereka juga akan mendapatkan pendapatan yang tinggi, dan diharapkan memiliki pengetahuan yang lebih untuk dapat mengurangi stress yang mereka alami selama merawat orang dengan skizofrenia (Chen el al, 2004;Glozman, 2004). Pendapatan yang tinggi dapat membantu pembayaran rumah sakit sehingga beban yang ditanggung anggota keluarga yang merawat menjadi lebih ringan.…”
