Object：This study was to study correlation between schizophrenic patients’ subjectively perceived expressed emotion by family and their social adjustment and perceived burden of family.
Method：Subjects were 81 schizophrenic patients and their family. Patients rated Korean version of Level of Expressed Emotion(K-LEE) and Social Adjustment Scale. Their family rated a Scale for Family Burden. Collected date were analysed with Pearson correlation test.
Results：Mean total score of K-LEE, Scale for Family Burden and Social Adjustment were 11.58±2.20, 1.20±.67 and 2.50±0.63 respectively. There was no significant correlation among them. However among subscales, there were some significant correlations. The less family support was and the more severe intervention of family was, the poorer were patients’ social relationship, leisure activities, functions in extended family and functions in occupational life. And the severer patients perceived family’s blaming was, the greater family’s subjective and objective burden were.
Conclusion：These results suggest that, for patients, better social adjustment, family have to provide more support, reduce intervention and restrain blaming.
