Family members of Chronic Mental Disorders (CMD), who are responsible for patient care, face many physical, psychological, and social problems which make them face the burden of care. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a psychosocial health promotion program on the care burden of family caregivers of patients with CMD.
This is a quasi-experimental study that was conducted in two intervention and control groups in the form of pretest and posttest. This study was performed on 67 family caregivers of patients with CMD in Farabi and Noor centers in Isfahan, Iran. Participants in this study were randomly divided into two intervention and control groups. Data from the intervention and control groups were collected in two stages, before and after the intervention by demographic information form and Zarit burden questionnaire. The intervention group received a web-based psychosocial health promotion program in eight sessions in 4 weeks. At the end of the intervention, the Zarit questionnaire was completed by the intervention and control groups.
The mean score of care burden between the intervention and control groups was not statistically significantly different before the implementation of the program ( = 0.534). But after the intervention, the mean score of care burden was significantly different between the two groups ( = 3.43, = 0.001).
This study provides evidence for the benefits of web-based psychosocial health promotion program in reducing the perceived care burden of the caregiver of CMD.
慢性精神障碍（CMD）患者的家庭成员负责患者护理，面临许多身体、心理和社会问题，这使他们承受着护理负担。本研究旨在调查社会心理健康促进项目对CMD患者家庭照顾者护理负担的影响。
这是一项准实验研究，以干预前测试和干预后测试的形式在两个干预组和对照组中进行。本研究对伊朗伊斯法罕法拉比和努尔中心的67名CMD患者的家庭照顾者进行。本研究的参与者被随机分为两个干预组和对照组。干预组和对照组的数据通过人口统计学信息表和扎里特负担问卷在干预前后两个阶段收集。干预组在4周内分8次接受基于网络的社会心理健康促进项目。干预结束时，干预组和对照组完成扎里特问卷。
在项目实施前，干预组和对照组之间的护理负担平均得分在统计学上没有显著差异（=0.534）。但干预后，两组之间的护理负担平均得分有显著差异（=3.43，=0.001）。
本研究为基于网络的社会心理健康促进项目在减轻CMD照顾者感知到的护理负担方面的益处提供了证据。
