|
The purpose of this study, is to evaluate the effectiveness of the community-based mental health nursing program on the reduction of family care providers burden. A quasi-experimental pre-post design was used to assess the effects of mental health nursing intervention. The study was conducted at two sites in economically underprivileged areas in Seoul. A total of 27 long-term mentally ill patients family care providers participated in the study. The result of this study is summarized as follows:
1. The key family member care providers for long-term mental patients at home are mostly mothers (84.6%)
2. Reliability test for Family burden tool by using Chronbach´s alpha were done and found to be highly reliable (=.9112).
3. Family burden score decreased significantly after being in the community-based mental health nursing program.
4. Health policy for caring long-term poor mental patients is strongly suggested. That is, at present government help long-term poor patients by paying while patients are admitted in the hospital. However, this study suggests that family members burden is less while patients stay at home with community-based mental health nursing program.
