EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF PSYCHIATRY(1998)
Abstract
The study examined 84 patients and their 84 closely related family members, includind the family attitude toward schizophrenic disorder and the future of the schizophrenic patients. The common attitude among key family members toward the schizophrenic disorder is mostly positive and studying their opinions about the disorder and the potential future of the schizophrenic family member we estimated a statistically significant correlation. The study has not determined the influence of the demographic features previous family disorder history among the key family members of the schizophrenic patients on their opinions about the schizophrenic disorder and the future of the schizophrenic family member. In the case of severe psychopathological disorder symptoms in the schizophrenic patients, the key family members would have a negative attitude toward the patient's future, whereas the less noticeable psycopathological disorder symptom presence would contribute to a more positive attitude towards the patient's future. The key family member's attitude towards the patient's future has not been influenced significantly by the disorder's duration, psychotic decompensation number and the time spent in hospital.
