Correlation analysis of disease perception and social support among family caregivers with schizophrenia
Objective To analyze the correlation between disease perception and social support among family caregivers with schizophrenia,and provide reference for intervention measures for family caregivers.Methods This study is a cross-sectional survey,using a cluster sampling method to select 290 family caregivers with schizophrenia who met the inclusion criteria from a tertiary hospital as the survey subjects.The survey was conducted using a general data collection questionnaire,the Schizophrenic Disease Perceived Relatives Scale(IPQS),and the Social Support Assessment Scale(SS-A),Use Sperman correlation analysis to analyze the correlation between disease perception and social support among family caregivers.Results The correlation be-tween disease perception and social support among family caregivers of schizophrenia:The periodic timeline of disease perception(r=-0.423,P<0.05),consequences relatives(r=-0.306,P<0.05),consequences patients(r=-0.472,P<0.05),personal blame patients(r=-0.443,P<0.05),disease consistency(r=-0.359,P<0.05),emotional representation(r=-0.312,P<0.05),symptom recognition(r=-0.376,P<0.05),and social support total score are negatively correlated.There is a positive correlation between personal control patient(r=0.429,P<0.05),treatment/control(r=0.386,P<0.05),and total social support score.Objective social support is negatively correlated with outcome relative(r=-0.383,P<0.05)and positively correlated with treatment/control(r=0.465,P<0.05).Multivariate analysis results show that outcome patient(OR=0.320,95%CI:0.184-0.562)is negatively correlated with social support,while treatment/control(OR=2.572,95%CI:1.465-4.516)is positively correlated with social support.Conclusion The social support of family caregivers for schizophrenia is mainly negatively correlated with the perceived consequences of the disease-patients;Social support is positively correlated with treatment/control.
