Association Between Family Functioning and Mental Health in Caregivers of People with Schizophrenia

Better family functioning—including communication, roles, affective responsiveness, affective involvement, behavior control, general functioning, cohesion, and adaptability—was associated with better mental health among family caregivers of people with schizophrenia. Family functioning was not significantly associated with caregivers' physical health. These findings describe associations and do not establish that improving family functioning causes better mental health.
