ABSTRACT: Family caregiver is
the most important person who cares for patient with schizophrenia. However
when care is provided for long time, he/she may experiences the burden.
Purpose: The purpose was to review concept and factors related to burden
on family caregivers caring for patients with schizophrenia.
Method: A literatures were searched from databases: Pubmed, CINAHL, and
Science Direct. Key words used to retrieve literature include caregiver burden
and schizophrenia. Searching was limited in English language, full text, and
the year of publication from 2000 to 2009 was used.
Results: Twenty two studies were reviewed in this paper. The result
showed that the caregivers caring for patients with schizophrenia experience
burden. Burden was defined as a negative impact of caring for the impaired
person experienced by caregiver on their activity (objective burden) or feeling
(subjective burden) that involves emotional, physical health, social life, and
financial status. Factors related to burden on family caregiver were grouped
into: 1) caregiver‟s factors included age, gender, educational level, income,
health status, and spent time per day, knowledge of schizophrenia, culture, and
coping; 2) patient‟s factors included age, clinical symptoms, and disability in
daily life; 3) environmental factors included mental health service and social
support.
Conclusion: Definition of burden have quite same meaning and mostly
factors focus on the patient‟s symptoms, demographic factors of caregiver, and
time spent per day. Most of studies cannot be generalized due to small sample
used in the study and that too conducted in western countries. For further
research, the correlation between burden and resources of family caregiver
should be investigated particularly in eastern country.
