This study, which is part of a larger research program, examined the health education needs of family caregivers providing care and support for an adolescent relative with schizophrenia or mood disorder in Taiwan. Family caregivers reported significant unmet information needs, and those with higher incomes or educational levels were more likely to report unmet educational needs. Caregivers using information resources consistently had high unmet educational needs. Results revealed the importance of assessing specific educational needs of families, as educational needs of caregivers differed according to diagnostic group, especially with regard to etiology, symptoms, and coping strategies.
本研究是一个更大的研究项目的一部分，旨在探讨为台湾地区患有精神分裂症或情绪障碍的青少年亲属提供护理和支持的家庭照顾者的健康教育需求。家庭照顾者报告了显著未满足的信息需求，而收入或教育水平较高的人更有可能报告未满足的教育需求。持续使用信息资源的照顾者有很高的未满足的教育需求。研究结果表明，评估家庭具体教育需求的重要性，因为照顾者的教育需求根据诊断群体而有所不同，特别是在病因、症状和应对策略方面。
