Background: Schizophrenia is a chronic illness which brings detrimental effects in the caregivers' health. This study was aimed at highlighting the socio-demographic, clinical and psychosocial factors associated with the subjective Quality of Life (QOL) of Malaysian of primary family caregivers of subjects with schizophrenia attending an urban tertiary care outpatient clinic in Malaysia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed to study patient, caregiver and illness factors associated with the QOL among 117 individuals involved with caregiving for schizophrenia patients. The study used WHOQOL-BREF to assess caregivers' QOL and Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) to assess the severity of patients' symptoms. Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) assessed the stress level due to life events. Results: The mean scores of WHOQOL-BREF in physical, psychological, social and environmental domains were 66.62 (14.36), 61.32 (15.52), 62.77 (17.33), 64.02 (14.86) consecutively. From multiple regression analysis, factors found to be significantly associated with higher QOL were higher educational level among caregivers in social and environmental domains; caregivers not having medical problem/s in physical and psychological domains; later onset and longer illness duration of illness in social domains; patients not attending day care program in environmental domain; lower BPRS score in physical and environmental domains. SRRS score of caregivers was also found to have a significant negative correlation with QOL in environmental and psychological domains. Other factors were not significantly associated with QOL. Conclusion: Caregivers with more social advantages such as higher educational level and physically healthier and dealing with less severe illness had significantly higher QOL in various aspects. Supporting the caregivers in some of these modifiable factors in clinical practice is important to achieve their higher level QOL.

“…Carers who live with the dependent person spend more time caring for them (Bittman et al 2004) and perform a wider variety of tasks . moreover, cohabitation improves the relationship between the carer and care receiver (Call et al 1995;dwyer, le and jankowski 1994) and is associated with lower levels of depression amongst carers (montoro 1999), although not every aspect of cohabitation that was analysed had a positive effect (dwyer, le and jankowski 1994;Walker, pratt and eddy 1995).…”

KaRim ahmed-mohamed karim.ahmed@cchs.csic.es Centro de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales (CCHS-CSIC). Spain.abstRact the objectives of this study in the spanish context are: (1) to identify what source of care (informal, private or public care) achieves the lowest perception of unmet needs amongst dependent adults and (2) to identify which factors are associated with a greater perception of unmet needs within each source of care. this research is based on a sample of 4,766 dependent adults who completed the 2008 survey on disability, personal autonomy and dependency situations (edad). dependent adults who received only paid care were less likely to perceive unmet needs compared to those who received other types of care. dependents who received public care were more likely to perceive unmet needs. perception of unmet needs is related to the characteristics of the dependent adults, the primary carers and the caregiving context. the results suggest that policy design must not assume that dependent people prefer family care to other types of care and demonstrate that public care is perceived as unsatisfactory.

ResumenLos objetivos de este trabajo son: (1) identificar el proveedor de cuidado (informal, privado o público) que consigue una menor percepción de necesidades no cubiertas entre los adultos dependientes en España, (2) identificar qué factores se relacionan con una mayor percepción de necesidades no cubiertas en cada situación, atendiendo al proveedor de cuidado. se analizó una muestra de 4.766 adultos dependientes de la encuesta sobre discapacidades, Autonomía personal y situaciones de Dependencia (EDAD 2008). Los adultos dependientes que recibieron únicamente cuidado privado tuvieron menos probabilidades de percibir sus necesidades no cubiertas, en comparación con quienes recibieron cualquier otro tipo de cuidado. Quienes recibieron cuidado solo de servicios sociales tuvieron más probabilidades de percibir sus necesidades como no cubiertas. la percepción de necesidades no cubiertas está relacionada con las características de la persona dependiente, del cuidador y del contexto del cuidado. Los resultados sugieren que el diseño de políticas públicas no debe dar por supuesto que las personas dependientes prefieren el cuidado familiar por encima de otras fórmulas de atención y muestran que los servicios públicos de cuidado son percibidos como insatisfactorios.

Zusammenfassung: In dem vorliegenden Artikel wurde ein psychoedukativer Kurs für Angehörige von Schlaganfallpatienten entwickelt und in einem Längsschnitt-Kontrollgruppen-Design mit 3 Messzeitpunkten evaluiert. Insgesamt wurden 85 Angehörige untersucht. Als Messinstrumente kamen Selbstratingskalen zu Depression, Angst und körperlichen Beschwerden zum Einsatz. Zusätzlich wurden die globale subjektive Belastung, das Schlaganfall-spezifische Wissen, die Nutzung psychosozialer Entlastungsangebote und der subjektiv erlebte Nutzen des Kurses erhoben. Die Kursteilnehmer zeigten im Gegensatz zur Kontrollgruppe eine signifikante Zunahme des Schlaganfall-spezifischen Wissens und nutzten mehr Entlastungsangebote. Die subjektive Belastung nahm nur bei den Kursteilnehmern im zeitlichen Verlauf ab. Der Nutzen des Kurses wurde als sehr hoch eingeschätzt. In den standardisierten Skalen zum psychischen und körperlichen Befinden konnten in keiner der beiden Gruppen signifikante Veränderungen im zeitlichen Verlauf festgestellt werden. Dies wird u. a. darauf zurückgeführt, dass emotionale Verarbeitungsmuster resistenter gegenüber Veränderungen sind, als Verhaltenskomponenten.
