Résumé
Cette étude, réalisée auprès d’un échantillon de convenance de 71 familles de personnes souffrant de schizophrénie, explore au moyen d’analyses de régression, les liens pouvant exister entre le soutien que ces familles reçoivent de leur réseau social personnel, le fardeau associé à leur rôle de parents, leur satisfaction des services en santé mentale, leur détresse psychologique et leur qualité de vie. Trois variables identifiées par les analyses, permettent de prédire 31 % de la variance de la détresse psychologique. Elles sont l’obtention de conseils et d’orientation provenant de leur réseau, le fardeau associé à l’implication dans les activités quotidiennes et la satisfaction des services. Cinq variables permettent d’expliquer 63 % de la qualité de vie. Il s’agit de l’obtention de conseils et d’orientation, la confirmation de leur valeur de la part des membres de leur réseau, le fardeau ressenti lors de l’implication dans les activités quotidiennes, le fardeau associé aux comportements problématiques et enfin la satisfaction des services. Les composantes du soutien social identifiées sont les prédicteurs les plus fortement associés à la santé mentale des familles de personnes souffrant de schizophrénie.
Abstract
This study conducted with a sample of 71 families of individuals suffering from schizophrenia, examines by means of regression analysis, the link between support that families receive from their social network, satisfaction with mental health services, family burden and their psychological distress and quality of life. These analyses reveal that three variables predict 31 % of the variance associated with psychological distress. These variables are : obtaining counselling and advisory guidance from their network, the burden associated with daily-living and the satisfaction of services. Five variables account for 63 % of the quality of life. More specifically, counselling and advisory guidance as well as reassurance of their worth by members of their network, the burden felt during daily-living, the burden associated with difficult behavior and finally, satisfaction with services. The components of social support are the strongest predictors associated with mental health of families of individuals suffering from schizophrenia.
Resumen
Este estudio, realizado en una muestra por conveniencia de 71 familias de personas con esquizofrenia, explora, por medio de análisis de regresión, las relaciones que pueden existir entre el apoyo que reciben estas familias por parte de su red social personal, la carga asociada a su rol de padres, su satisfacción de los servicios de salud mental, su angustia psicológica y su calidad de vida. Tres variables identificadas por los análisis permiten predecir 31% de la variación de la angustia psicológica. Éstas son la obtención de consejos y orientación provenientes de su red, la carga asociada a la implicación en las actividades cotidianas y la satisfacción de los servicios. Cinco variables permiten explicar 63% de la calidad de vida. Se trata de la obtención de consejos y orientación, la confirmación de su valor por parte de los miembros de su red, la carga resentida durante la implicación en las actividades cotidianas, la carga asociada a los comportamientos problemáticos y finalmente la satisfacción de los servicios. Los componentes del apoyo social identificados son los predicadores más fuertemente asociados a la salud mental de las familias de personas con esquizofrenia.
Resumo
Este estudo, realizado junto a uma amostragem por conveniência de 71 famílias de pessoas que sofrem de esquizofrenia, explora pelo meio de análises de regressão, as relações que podem existir entre o apoio que estas famílias recebem de sua rede social pessoal, o fardo associado a seu papel de pais, sua satisfação dos serviços em saúde mental, sua depressão psicológica e sua qualidade de vida. Três variáveis identificadas pelas análises permitem predizer 31% da variância da depressão psicológica. Elas são a obtenção de conselhos e de orientação vinda de sua rede, o fardo associado à implicação nas atividades quotidianas e a satisfação dos serviços. Cinco variáveis permitem explicar 63% da qualidade de vida. Trata-se da obtenção de conselhos e da orientação, a confirmação de seu valor da parte dos membros de sua rede, o fardo sentido durante a implicação nas atividades quotidianas, o fardo associado aos comportamentos problemáticos e, finalmente, a satisfação em relação aos serviços. Os componentes do apoio social identificados são índices mais profundamente associados à saúde mental das famílias de pessoas que sofrem de esquizofrenia.
