“…Caregiver burden is defined as the extent to which caregivers perceive their emotional or physical health, social life, or financial status to be affected by their caring for an impaired relative (Zarit, Todd, & Zarit, 1986). This construct emerged in the literature on caregivers of chronically physically ill and mentally ill individuals (Chakrabarti & Kulhara, 1999;Cuijpers & Stam, 2000;Loukissa, 1995;Piccinato & Rosenbaum, 1997) and has been applied to female romantic partners of combat veterans with PTSD.…”

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a relatively common mental health condition that can occur after exposure to a traumatic event. The lifetime prevalence of the disorder in the general population is about 8%, with a 2:1 prevalence of the disorder in women (10%) compared with men (5%; Kessler, Sonnega, Bromet, Hughes, & Nelson, 1995). Although a range of traumatic stressors may cause PTSD, the genesis of most PTSD cases are man-made traumas (Norris, 1992), portending the inherently interpersonal phenomenology and consequences of the disorder. Nonetheless, there have been limited efforts to understand PTSD through an interpersonal lens, despite compelling evidence establishing an association between PTSD and relationship problems. In this chapter, we describe PTSD and its manifestation in adult close relationships, review the empirical literature documenting an association between PTSD and close relationship problems, discuss theoretical constructs and models explaining the association, present various interpersonally oriented PTSD treatment efforts, and consider future directions for research.

“…Watson's philosophy and theory of caring has served as a model for new practice models in the USA (United States of America) and other countries (Watson 1995, 1996, 1999, 2000).

This study demonstrated a relationship between care given according to Watson's Caring model and increased quality of life of the patients with hypertension. Further, in those patients for whom the caring model was practised, there was a relationship between the Caring model and a decrease in patient's blood pressure. The Watson Caring Model is recommended as a guide to nursing patients with hypertension, as one means of decreasing blood pressure and increase in quality of life.

“…For instance, families that provide kindness, empathy, and love, and who nurture faith and hope in the family member undergoing rehabilitation, promote the health of the entire family. Healthy families use creative problem solving in caring for ill family members and do not hesitate to ask for assistance in solving problems (Piccinato & Rosenbaum, 1997). Finally, when family members seek to understand the meaning of the injury or illness and the rehabilitation experience, they are better able to assist their newly disabled relative in regaining functional independence.…”

Although several investigators have studied family interaction during times of illness and family participation in rehabilitation, a literature search found nothing about the relation between patient perception of family health and functional outcomes in rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is such a relationship. The Functional Independence Measure (FIM), designed to measure functional gain in rehabilitation, and the FAMTOOL, designed to measure family health in any healthcare setting, were used to collect data from 100 adult patients at two inpatient rehabilitation centers. A Pearson product moment correlation showed no relation between FAMTOOL scores and FIM gain scores (gain between admission and discharge FIMs). Suggestions are made for further research.
