ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo explore the mental health level of family members of stroke patient and related factors.Methods34 stroke patients' family members were tested with the Symptom Checklist-90(SCL-90), and compared with norms; SCL-90 factor scores, which were higher than that of norms, were analyzed for related factors.ResultsScores of 4 factors in the SCL-90 (somatization, depression, anxiety and phobia) were higher than norms in the family members of stroke patients. Scores of somatization factor correlated with the education background; depression factor correlated with the family income variable; anxiety factor correlated with the cognitive impairment variable of patients. In the correlation analysis with patient's activities of daily living (ADL) scores, somatization factor negatively correlated with total score of ADL and hygiene, feeding, bowel management, locomotion, bathing scores; both depression factor scores and positive item numbers negatively correlated with feeding and bowel management scores; phobia anxiety factor scores with hygiene, feeding, bowel management, communication, locomotion, bathing and total scores.ConclusionThe mental health level of family members of stroke patient is lower, and it is related to family income reduction, patient's cognitive impairment, and especially with the patient\s ADL level.
