In an era of limited resources for mental health care, family interventions need to target areas where they are responsive to families' expressed needs. Although family burden has been documented, less is known about the areas of concern that families feel they need direct assistance with, to be effective caregivers. Telephone interviews were conducted with 30 family members of mentally ill relatives. Burden, sense of mastery, and contexts of caregiving were assessed. Open-ended questions elicited further understandings of caregiving concerns. The most frequently identified burden was "worry about the future." The greatest concern was "dealing with sadness and grief." Recommendations for assessing family concerns are presented.
在精神卫生保健资源有限的时代，家庭干预需要针对能回应家庭所表达需求的领域。虽然家庭负担已有记录，但对于家庭认为作为有效的照料者需要直接帮助的关切领域，我们了解得较少。对30名精神病患者亲属的家庭成员进行了电话访谈。评估了负担、掌控感和照料情境。开放式问题引发了对照料问题的进一步理解。最常被提及的负担是“对未来的担忧”。最大的担忧是“应对悲伤和悲痛”。本文提出了评估家庭关切的建议。
