Abstract

SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC CORRELATES OF MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOME IN CAREGIVERS OF PATIENTS WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA: A HOSPITAL -BASED CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY FROM DELHI-NCR REGION

Syeda Shahnaz*, Nitisha Singh and Dinesh Kataria

ABSTRACT

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental illness and the caregivers of such patients do face physical and emotional disturbances while taking care of their patients. There may be different sociodemographic and clinical factors at play which may decide the mental health outcome of the caregivers. Methodology: A total of 190 caregivers of such patients with schizophrenia were enrolled in the study. Scales like PHQ-9, GAD-7 and PSS were used to assess depression, anxiety and stress in the caregivers. The relationship of sociodemographic factors like age, gender, marital status of caregivers and clinical factors like duration of caregiving, distance from hospital and hospitalization rate of the patients with levels of depression, anxiety and stress in caregivers was assessed. Results and Discussion: The mean score of PHQ-9, GAD-7 and PSS were 6.09 (SD = 4.69), 6.05 (SD= 4.27) and 16.51 (SD =7.27) respectively. Higher levels of anxiety were seen in female caregivers. Poor psychological outcome was seen in cases where the caregiver was a child, in joint families, longer duration and hours of caregiving, longer distance from hospital and higher hospitalization rate in the patient.

Keywords: Schizophrenia, Caregiver, Depression, Anxiety, Stress.
