Impact of an educational support group on family participants who take care of their schizophrenic relatives.

Abstract:

:Using a stress-coping framework, we designed a six-session educational support group offering family caretakers information about schizophrenia, training in problem-solving skills for managing patient behavior, and greater access to social support and community resources. Subjects were recruited though local community mental health centers; 24 subjects participated in one of five identically structured caretakers' groups and another 24 subjects served as matched controls. Results of the multivariate analysis of covariance indicated a significant difference between the experimental and control caretakers following the intervention. Caretakers of the educational support group reported significantly reduced anxiety and personal distress and significantly more active coping behaviors (increased use of community resources and better management of home life with their schizophrenic family member). However, no changes were reported in the frequency of their negative feelings toward their mentally ill family member or in their generalized sense of self-efficacy.
