No results posted yet for this study

Summary

* Research demonstrates that the families of the seriously mentally ill are burdened by this caregiving role and by their responsibilities
* Research also demonstrates that family interventions are effective and that they have a potential to reduce family burden, as well as to improve the condition of the mentally ill patients.
* We assume that the sibling group intervention would be effective in reducing the family burden of the siblings, and that this reduction would be reflected in their replies to the "Experience of Caregiving Inventory".
