“…While in the general population a survey conducted in Campinas, SP, (Botega et al, ) found higher chances of suicidal ideation according to higher schooling, in this study, the association between schooling and suicidal ideation was reversed. However, it should be noted that lower schooling has already been documented as a factor associated with emotional and mental illness among family caregivers of people with mental disorders (Treichel et al, ).…”

“…In the context of family care in mental health, an already well-documented phenomenon is the manifestation of the feeling of burden, which often leads these caregivers to experience a worsening in their physical and mental health, favouring the emergence of psychological problems such as depression and anxiety (Treichel et al, 2017;Treichel, Jardim, Kantorski, Vasem, & Neutzling, 2016).…”

Aims and objectives This study aimed to analyse the prevalence and factors associated with suicidal ideation among family caregivers of people with mental disorders. Background Studies conducted with family caregivers of people with dementia and cancer point out a high prevalence of suicidal ideation among these subjects; however, this aspect has not yet been investigated among family caregivers of people with mental disorders. Design This is a cross‐sectional study, conducted with 537 family caregivers of patients from 16 Psychosocial Care Centers (CAPS) of the 21st Health Region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Methods Question 17 of the Self‐Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ‐20) was used for suicidal ideation screening. The prevalence of suicidal ideation was calculated according to sociodemographic and care variables, with confidence interval estimate (95% CI). Crude and adjusted odds ratios were calculated by logistic regression. The Guidelines to Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE Statement) was adhered in this study (See File S1). Results The prevalence of suicidal ideation found in this study for the 30 days preceding the interview was 12.5% (95% CI: 10–15). The factors associated with the outcome were lower age, lower schooling, feeling of burden, self‐report of stress problem and dissatisfaction with family relationships. Conclusion The prevalence of suicidal ideation among the studied family caregivers was high and strongly associated with issues regarding care, showing the need for interventions that provide support. Relevance for clinical practice Nurses are a large part of the workforce of the community mental health services. The careful characterisation of the subjects who show suicidal ideation, as performed in this study, may reveal specificities capable of refining the diagnostic potential for establishment of action plans in a timely manner, avoiding possible attempts or even the consummation of suicide.

“…Some authors 6,7 who conducted studies to this end show that several factors, such as health problems, burden, and lack of support, have been relevant to the study of the theme. However, they also point out the incomplete nature of the analyzed variables and the need to include, especially, data about the care provided and the individuals who are assisted by these family members.…”

“…The regression models took into consideration a hierarchical theoretical model, adapted from the model proposed by Treichel et al 7 , and included the variables at six levels. The first included the following variables as distal determinants: gender, age group, marital status, relationship with the user, schooling, paid work, and per capita income.…”

This study aimed to identify the prevalence of the manifestation of Minor Psychiatric Disorders and its associated factors among 537 family caregivers of people living with psychological distress attended at 16 Psychosocial Care Centers (CAPS) located in the 21st health region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Considering a hierarchical theoretical model, the analysis adopted a Poisson regression to calculate the adjusted prevalence ratios. The prevalence of Minor Psychiatric Disorders found in the studied population was 42.1% 3%). Factors associated with these disorders were being female (PR: 1.54), having a close relationship with the user, especially fathers/mothers (PR: 2.00), low schooling, within a prevalence ratio of PR: 1.85 in the lowest stratum, presence of health problems (PR: 1.24); reporting neurological problems (PR: 3.02), low performance in the evaluation of the quality of life in the physical (PR: 1.84) and environmental (PR: 1.95) aspects, dissatisfaction with family relationships (PR: 1.56), lack of family support (PR: 1.25) and feeling of burden, with a prevalence ratio of PR: 2.61 among individuals with higher level of burden.

Background: The consequences and high costs of psychiatric disorders impact family caregivers greatly. Health services should identify and provide accessible support programs to facilitate effective caregiver coping. Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a theory-of-planned-behavior-based problem-solving training program on the coping styles of family caregivers of psychiatric inpatients. Methods: In this two-group, randomized control trial, 72 family caregivers were randomly assigned to either a control group receiving standard care or an intervention group receiving a training program (eight sessions over 4 weeks). Demographic information was recorded at baseline, and the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations was administered to both groups at baseline, immediately postintervention, and 1-month follow-up. Results: Immediately after the intervention, the intervention group earned significantly higher task-oriented coping style scores (mean difference = 5.03, p = .015) than the control group, but no significant difference was detected between the two groups for either emotion- or avoidance-oriented coping style scores. At 1-month follow-up, the intervention group earned significantly higher scores than the control group for task-oriented (mean difference = 8.56, p < .001) and emotion-oriented (mean difference = 7.14, p = .002) coping styles. No improvement in avoidance-oriented coping style at the postintervention or follow-up time points was detected. Conclusions: Implementation by nurses and other health professionals of problem-solving training programs that are based on the theory of planned behavior is recommended to strengthen the use of task- and emotion-oriented approaches that help family caregivers of psychiatric patients better cope with stress.
