This paper reports on a study to establish the profile of need for psychosocial family interventions and to examine the concurrent validity of the Relatives' Cardinal Needs Schedule with an Asian population of carers in England, UK.
Although psychosocial interventions for schizophrenia have a strong evidence base, little is known of the needs of Asian families. A cardinal need is indicative of the existence of a problem causing the carer a strain for which the carer is willing to co-operate if help is offered and for which systematic help has not been provided in the last 12 months.
The Relatives' Cardinal Needs Schedule was used to assess needs in a small randomly selected sample of Asian carers in one English locality and to compare the results with independent measures of patient symptoms and carer distress.
Feedback from carers indicated that the Relatives' Cardinal Needs Schedule was culturally acceptable and appropriate to their needs. There was evidence for the validity of the assessment in that there were large and statistically significant associations between the number of needs detected by the Relatives' Cardinal Needs Schedule and independent measures of both carer distress (as measured by the 28 item General Health Questionnaire) and patient symptom severity (as reliably assessed from case notes).
The Relatives' Cardinal Needs Schedule may prove useful for nurses and service managers in establishing the need for psychosocial family interventions amongst Asian families in the United Kingdom.
本文报告一项研究，旨在确定心理社会家庭干预的需求概况，并检验《亲属基本需求量表》在英国英格兰亚洲护理人群中的同时效度。
尽管针对精神分裂症的心理社会干预有充分的证据基础，但对于亚洲家庭的需求知之甚少。基本需求表明存在一个给护理者造成压力的问题，如果提供帮助，护理者愿意合作，且在过去12个月内尚未得到系统的帮助。
使用《亲属基本需求量表》对英国一个地区一小部分随机抽取的亚洲护理者的需求进行评估，并将结果与患者症状和护理者痛苦的独立测量指标进行比较。
护理者的反馈表明，《亲属基本需求量表》在文化上是可接受的，且符合他们的需求。有证据表明该评估具有效度，因为《亲属基本需求量表》检测出的需求数量与护理者痛苦（通过28项一般健康问卷测量）和患者症状严重程度（根据病例记录可靠评估）的独立测量指标之间存在显著且具有统计学意义的关联。
《亲属基本需求量表》可能对护士和服务管理人员在确定英国亚洲家庭中心理社会家庭干预的需求方面有用。
