“…The influence of social contact in different contexts and its effect on the presence of mental and physical disorders has been object to studies around the world. Some studies have shown that social support has a protective role in chronic diseases, promoting stress reduction and relieving patients' symptoms (Greenberg et al, 2014; Pinho et al, 2020; Studart et al, 2016, 2015). Furthermore, an earlier age at onset may contribute to impair functioning among BD patients.…”

Objective:The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between age at onset and social support in outpatients with bipolar disorder who were in the recovery phase. We also investigated the association between age at onset and disability.Methods: A total of 180 bipolar disorder I outpatients, of whom 50 had early onset with age at onset ≤18 years old, 108 had middle onset with age at onset between 19 and 39 years old, and 22 had late onset with age at onset ≥40 years old, were assessed with the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Scale and Sheehan Disability Scale. Results:The early onset group had lower tangible social support, longer length of illness, more childless participants, lower income and more suicide attempters than the late onset group. Conclusions:Early onset seems to have inferior outcomes in tangible social support than late onset, but this trend should be considered as a starting point for future studies.

“…Family psychoeducation is one of the interventions that can improve the quality of that support, allowing the family to have a deeper perception of schizophrenia [9]. As far as other environmental factors are concerned, studies have shown that the higher the perception of social support or satisfaction with it, the better the effectivity and quality of life [33][34][35][36].…”

Introduction: A paradigm shift in the assessment and rehabilitation of people with schizophrenia is needed, with an integrative perspective rather than a simple focus on the underlying symptomatology. To this end, it is essential to adopt integrated and continuous care focused on the person in his/her context. As a contribution, the Brief International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Set for schizophrenia has been developed by international experts. The present study aims to develop a scale to classify the degree of disability for each of the categories of the Brief ICF Core Set for schizophrenia. Methods: The classification criteria were first developed by the researchers and then submitted for assessment by national experts in the area of schizophrenia, using the modified e-Delphi method. Results: Two rounds of questions were asked, and a consensus was reached on the development of the Schizophrenia Functioning Core Set, consisting of all categories of the Brief ICF Core Set for schizophrenia and the criteria for classifying the degree of disability. The degree of agreement of the experts was greater than 90% in all categories. Conclusion: The construction of the disability grading criteria was based on the characteristics of schizophrenia as defined in DSM-V, as well as on some functional assessment scales specifically for this disorder. The development of the Schizophrenia Functioning Core Set allows for reducing the subjectivity in the assessment of the functioning of people with schizophrenia, standardizing the application of criteria to assign the degree of disability in each of the categories.

Purpose The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between social support levels and treatment compliance of individuals with schizophrenia. Design and Methods A descriptive and correlational research design was used in the study. The sample was not selected from the universe and the study was completed with 110 patients. Findings There was a significant positive correlation between the total score of family subscale and total score of the Morisky compliance scale (p < 0.05). Morisky adherence scale (p < 0.05), suggesting that family support can favor the treatment adherence of patients. Practice Implications Psychiatric professionals should carefully evaluate the family support perceived from the patients with schizophrenia to improve their adherence to treatment.
