The purpose of the proposed study is the development of a multi-dimensional scale to measure the level of family burden experienced by those who have a chronically mentally ill relative living in their midst. Research has shown that caretakers of mentally ill patients have more physical problems and that the home environment plays a role in recidivism of the mentally ill. This scale will permit researchers to determine how to lower the level of family burden, thereby lessening the physical and psychological side- effects of stress on the caretakers and lowering the recidivism rates of the mentally ill. Instrument Development: The components of each sub-domain concept (SDC) of family Burden/Benefit as identified in the literature and by mental health professionals will be circulated for ranking, weighting and comments. This revised list will serve as the basis for development of the multi- dimensional scale for the evaluation of family burden in which each of the ten highest-ranking SDC's will be defined by 14 to 24 items depending upon the complexity of the concept. The Family Burden Questionnaire will consist of a Household Member Interview Form, a Client Perception Form which measures the same domain, but from the patient's perspective, and, a section on retrospective change. Factor structure and reliability of items and scales will be determined through data analysis. The resulting instrument will be evaluated by three judges, experts in chronic psychiatric disorders and family involvement. This questionnaire will be completed by caretakers and their mentally ill family members at three points: shortly after hospitalization, 2 to 3 weeks thereafter, and three months later to show change in level of burden and construct validity.

拟议研究的目的是发展多维 规模衡量有一个有人的家庭负担的水平 长期以来生活在他们中间的人。研究表明 那些精神病患者的看护人有更多的身体问题， 家庭环境在精神病患者的累犯中发挥了作用。 该量表将允许研究人员确定如何降低 家庭负担，从而减轻身体和心理方面 - 压力对看护人的影响并降低了累犯率 精神病患者。 仪器开发：每个子域概念（SDC）的组成部分 文献和心理健康所确定的家庭负担/福利 专业人士将被分发以进行排名，加权和评论。这 修订的列表将是开发多种多样的基础 评估家庭负担的维度量表 十个最高的SDC将根据14至24个项目定义 概念的复杂性。 家庭负担问卷将由家庭成员组成 访谈表格，一种测量相同域的客户感知表格， 但从患者的角度来看，以及有关回顾性变化的部分。 将确定项目和量表的因素结构和可靠性 通过数据分析。由此产生的仪器将通过三个 法官，慢性精神疾病专家和家庭参与。 该问卷将由看护人及其精神病患者完成 家庭成员三分：住院后不久，2至3周 此后，三个月后显示负担水平的变化和 构造有效性。
