Özet

Sixty-two individuals with schizophrenia and their families were part of a descriptive study that investigated the effect of self-efficacy levels on the burden of care, using family member caregivers of schizophrenia patients. Data were collected using a questionnaire on the descriptive characteristics of patients and their families, the Self-Efficacy Scale, and Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale. The results for caregivers indicated a total mean self-efficacy score of 76.4 +/- 17.76 and a total mean of burden of care score of 68.64 +/- 18.60. A negative significant relation was discovered by looking at the correlation between the total mean scores (r = -.260, p < 0.05). These results indicate that the burden of care decreases with the increasing level of self-efficacy in caregiver family members. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
