Abstract
Aims
This study was aimed at investigating the effects of family support and psychoeducation
program based on Calgary Family Intervention Model on coping, psychological distress
and psychological resilience levels of families of chronic psychiatric patients.
Methods
The sample of this quasi-experimental study consisted of the caregivers of chronic
psychiatric patients who were admitted to the adult psychiatry inpatient and outpatient
unit of a university hospital and the caregivers of chronic psychiatric patients registered
with the Schizophrenia Solidarity Association. Nonparametric analysis was used in
the analysis of the data.
Results
It was found that there was a significant decrease between the mean distress scores
the caregivers participating in the Calgary Family Intervention-Based Family Support
and Psychoeducation Program obtained from the measurements before, right after, and
3 and 6 months after the intervention (p < 0.05). There was no statistically significant
difference between the coping scores and psychological resilience scores the caregivers
obtained from the measurements before, right after, and 3 and 6 months after the intervention
(p > 0.05).
Conclusion
It was concluded that the family support and psychoeducation program based on the
Calgary Family Intervention Model applied to family members giving care to individuals
with chronic mental illnesses had positive effects on the general health status of
the caregivers.
