“…Our findings showed that the overwhelming majority of the carers in families with chronically ill mental patients were women (73%), which aligns with the reports of the World Federation of Mental Health (Copeland, 2010) that across the globe, 80% of caregivers of people with long-term mental illness are women (mother, wife, sister, daughter, aunt or other). Numerous research looking at gender disparities among family caregivers of individuals with mental illnesses have found that women are more likely than men to spend more time providing care and performing personal care duties (Sharma et al, 2016;Xiong et al, 2020).…”

Having a chronically mentally ill person in the family presents a challenge for the entire family system, not only on a daily life basis but also regarding their psycho-emotional and social life. The present study focuses on caregivers of chronically ill patients' burden on four levels of possible disruption: the economic burden, the impact on family life, sociability, health, and behavior, and the impact of perceived aggression by considering the demographic characteristics of the caregivers, but also the socio-demographic characteristics of the chronically ill family member(s) they are taking care of. We conducted a quantitative survey with a sample of 90 family members/caregivers and the corresponding 90 chronically ill patients under their care from all districts of the Republic of Cyprus. Participants completed the "Family Burden Scale" (FBS-23) (Madianos et al., 2004), a personal information form with demographic information, and a questionnaire regarding the demographics and the illness trajectory of the chronically mentally ill family member (age of disease onset, diagnosis, frequency of episodes). Our findings showed that most caregivers providing systematic care for a family member experienced high levels of disruption in their daily routine and sociability, perceived high levels of aggressive behaviors, felt moderately affected in their health and behavior, and carried a heavy economic burden. Older participants felt a significantly higher economic burden than younger caregivers, who perceived a significantly more significant negative impact on their health and behavior from taking care of a chronically ill family member.

One of the fundamental features of our approach to person centered medicine is its world-wide matrix. This applies to the historical roots of person centered medicine, to its contemporary antecedents, to the scope of the multiple organizations that are collaborating to develop it, to the reasons behind the selection of Geneva as the site of its foundational conferences, to the nature of the non-profit organization that has been established to formalize it, to the aims of its official journal and the geographical sources of the articles it publishes, and to the horizons informing the planning of its congresses and evolving projects. These diverse and complementary international perspectives and domains, and the papers published in this particularly international issue of the Journal, will be highlighted next.

Building on historical precedents, both ancient and contemporary, the concept of Person Centered Medicine as a theoretical proposal and a practical approach has been explored since the earliest Geneva Conferences on Person Centered Medicine. At the same time, it can be said from personal and group reflection and insights that Person Centered Medicine is also an experience, an attitude, and a process.Experience is a crucial aspect of everybody’s life. Experience and trajectory is also a fundamental domain of any institution’s identity and life. This denotes the value of appraising, recognizing, and delineating institutional journeys such as that underlying the development of Person Centered Medicine.The meaning of such institutional journey may be illuminated by the consideration of Odysseus’ journey to Ithaca in Homer’s Iliad. The delineation of the itinerary and vicissitudes in the process of constructing Person Centered Medicine might contribute to the clarification and understanding of what is Person Centered Medicine as much as a philosophical analysis of its principles and arguments.
