Schizophrenia Patients' Family Members and Care Giver's Mental Health: Factors that Effect on Mental Health: Sociodemographic characteristics

Study found that sociodemographic characteristics significantly influenced the mental and physical health of caregivers for schizophrenia patients.

  • Lower education was associated with poorer health-related quality of life.
  • Closer kinship (parent, spouse, or child) was linked to better physical health.
  • Caregivers of patients with multiple episodes reported worse physical health due to increased caregiving demands and negative coping strategies. Clinical staff should provide more support to caregivers with lower education, closer kinship, and those caring for patients with multiple episodes of schizophrenia
