AB  - OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to investigate the perceived level of burden 
      of care and its correlates in family members of schizophrenia patients. METHOD: 
      The study included 239 schizophrenic patients that were followed-up at the 
      psychiatric outpatient clinics of Izmir Ataturk Education and Research Hospital, 
      and Celal Bayar University Medical School, and 239 of their primary caregivers. 
      Patients were assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANNS), 
      Global Assessment of Functioning Scale (GAF), Social Functioning Scale (SFS), 
      Brief Cognitive State Examination (BCE), and UKU Side Effect Rating Scale. Their 
      primary caregivers were assessed using the Perceived Family Burden Scale (PFBS), 
      Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). RESULTS: 
      Caregiver PFBS scores ere correlated with male patients, female caregivers, 
      inadequate social support, economic difficulty, the presence of chronic physical 
      disorder in the caregivers, patient violence toward the caregivers, total 
      duration of illness, the number of patient hospitalizations, PANNS total and 
      subscale scores, and SFS, BDI, and BAI scores. Perceived burden of care was 
      predicted by the severity of the patients' positive symptoms, SFS 
      independence/competence and interpersonal functioning subscale scores, and 
      caregivers' anxiety and depression levels. CONCLUSION: In order to decrease the 
      burden of care in schizophrenia we recommend effective management of patient 
      symptoms, enhancement of patient social functioning, interventions that target 
      caregivers with high levels anxiety and depression, and social support provided 
      by healthcare professionals.
