Abstract

The caregiving burden experienced by informal caregivers of individuals with schizophrenia (ICIWS) can affect their perceived occupational balance (OB). This study examines the differences in OB among ICIWS with different caregiving burden levels. This cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 149 ICIWS. The Occupational Balance Questionnaire 11-Turkish Version (OBQ11-T) was used to assess the participants' OB. The Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale was employed to evaluate caregiving burden levels. Statistically significant differences were found in the total score of OBQ11-T, Item 3 (time for doing things wanted), Item 5 (having sufficient time for doing obligatory occupations), and Item 9 (balance between obligatory/voluntary occupations) between the severe and little caregiving burden groups (p < .05). Caregiving for individuals with schizophrenia can lead to varying levels of caregiving burden, which negatively affects OB. Occupational therapists working with ICIWS should assess OB and address OB-related challenges to alleviate caregiver burden.

精神分裂症患者非正式护理人员职业平衡的比较。

精神分裂症患者（ICIWS）的非正式照顾者所经历的照顾负担会影响他们感知的职业平衡（OB）。本研究考察了不同护理负担水平的ICIWS在产科方面的差异。这项横断面研究是用149个ICIWS样本进行的。职业平衡问卷11土耳其版（OBQ11-T）用于评估参与者的OB。Zarit护理人员负担量表用于评估护理人员负担水平。OBQ11-T总分、第3项（做想做的事情的时间）、第5项（有足够的时间从事义务职业）、，以及第9项（义务/自愿职业之间的平衡）在重度和轻度护理负担组之间（p＜0.05）。精神分裂症患者的护理会导致不同程度的护理负担，这会对产科产生负面影响。与ICIWS合作的职业治疗师应评估产科，并解决与产科相关的挑战，以减轻护理人员的负担。
