“…An increased understanding of the caregiving experience will enable health professionals to develop and implement strategies that facilitate positive outcomes for the caregiver and the ill family member. mental disorders have now been reconceptualised as neurophysiological diseases with an associated chronic disability (Tuck et al 1997). Family is increasingly viewed as central to the rehabilitation and wellbeing of the ill family member.…”

“…Şizofreni hastası olan ebeveynler baş etme davranışı olarak; olaylara farklı bir pencereden bakmaya çalışarak çocuğun durumundaki değişimleri normal gibi karşılamaya çalışma, profesyonel yardım arama, umudunu kaybetmeme, çocuğu gözlemleme, korumak, çocuğun kişisel gereksinimlerini karşılama, zaman zaman anksiyete yaşama ve kendince şizofreniye anlam yüklemeye çalışma deneyimlerini açık-lamışlardır. [46] Şizofreni hastası olan ailelerin baş etmede kullandığı yöntemleri cinsiyet, yaş, eğitim durumu, bakım süresi, şizofreni hakkında sahip olunan bilgi, algı-lanan sosyal destek, yük gibi değişkenlerin etkilediği belirtilmektedir.

ÖZETŞizofreni hastalarının çoğu aileleri ile birlikte yaşamaktadır bu nedenle şizof-reni hastalığı hastanın olduğu kadar ailenin de yaşamını olumsuz etkilemektedir. Şizofreni hastalarının aileleri bakım verme rollerini yerine getirmede çeşitli güçlükler yaşamaktadırlar. Aileler anksiyete, depresyon, utanç, suçluluk, korku, çaresizlik, zorlanma, endişe, umutsuzluk, öfke ve kayıp gibi duygular yaşamaktadırlar. Aileler çoğu zaman yaşadıkları bu güçlükler ile kendi başları-na mücadele etmektedirler. Bazen ailede bakım verenler yaşadıkları güçlükler ile etkili baş edememekte ve ruhsal sağlıklarında bozulma olabilmektedir. Ailelerin yaşadıkları güçlüklerin tanımlanması ve etkili müdahalelerin uygulanması önemlidir. Anahtar Sözcükler: Şizofreni, bakım veren, ruhsal sağlık, baş etme.

“…They also, in their contact with the formal psychiatric caregivers, long to be met with respect, be taken seriously, and experience involvement in care. Instead, they are met with disrespect and no serious consideration [5,6], and are seldom allowed to make treatment decisions [7].…”

Studies have shown that the quality of the relationship between siblings has great significance for the mentally ill sibling's overall quality of life. Sibling relationships may be particularly important because few adults with severe mental illness have children. As parents grow older, adult children are expected to support their sibling with mental illness when their parents are no longer able to do so. The sibling relationship has the potential to be one of the most significant relationships for adults with schizophrenia. The aim of this paper is to present a case study of a sister's experiences and needs in her contact with psychiatric care. This single case study was designed and the informant was recruited because of her value in maximizing what we can learn about being a sibling to a person with mental illness. Data were collected through four in-depth, semi-structured, repeated interviews during a two-year period, and were interpreted and analyzed through content analysis. Three major topics were discussed: 1) Anna's brother's time with formal psychiatric care; 2) Anna's feelings and emotions; and 3) Anna's view of her contact with psychiatric care. The findings indicated a sibling's need for attention, support, and understanding from the formal caregivers. Participation in our study was one of the first opportunities she had to talk about her relationship with formal psychiatric care. An open dialogue may help siblings to manage their situations.
