People with mental disorders will experience a relapse even after 1 month of getting treatment or care from a health facility. The high recurrence rate can cause a decrease in quality of life. Efforts to prevent recurrence by involving family caregivers and reducing stigma from the community. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the ability of family caregivers and community stigma to prevent recurrence and improve the quality of life of people with mental disorders. This study used a cross-sectional approach. The research location is in Kediri Regency, East Java, Indonesia. Sampling was done by using the multistage random sampling technique. The number of samples is 76 respondents. The variables in this study were the ability of family caregivers, community stigma, disease recurrence, and quality of life for people with mental disorders. The data were analyzed using path analysis with the help of STATA 13. There is a relationship between the ability of family caregivers and community stigma to prevent recurrence and improve the quality of life of people with mental disorders.

Abstract Objective Patients suffering from cancer need to receive care from their family; however, their family caregivers do this without preparation or training, so their involvement in patients’ care results in a caregiving burden that may affect patient’s hope and quality of life (QOL). Methods This study examines the effect of caregiving burden on the QOL of cancer patients (n = 100) with the mediatory role of hope and shame. To achieve this, Persian versions of Zarit Burden Interview, the World Health Organization QOL, Herth Hope Index, and Guilt and Shame Proneness Scale were used. Meanwhile, path regression analysis was implemented to analyze the relationship between caregiving burden and QOL. Results The results implied a relation among caregiver burden, hope, and QOL of patients diagnosed with cancer. It was found that there is a direct and negative relationship between caregiver burden and hope. In addition, there was an indirect and positive relationship between caregiver burden and QOL. Hope and QOL also had a high correlation. Besides, it was shown that there was a negative relationship between the shame experienced by patients and their hope and QOL. Conclusion caregiver burden was proved to be influential and negatively affected the factor for the QOL. Besides, patients’ hope decreases while caregiving burden increases; this will in turn affect patients’ recovery and their physical, mental, and cognitive functions. This study provides a foundation for future research in this critical area for oncology.

This research explores the relationship between burden of care, health perception, and demographic as aspects that affecting the quality of life of 50 family caregivers with the mean of age is 46.68 years old and SD = 12.97. Each subject has been given QoL-AD, HPQ, and ZBI-22, then being analyzed with Pearson Correlational Analysis and Multiple Regression Analysis with the stepwise method. The result showed that burden of care (r = - .454, p < .01), current health (r = .660, p < .01) and history of AD (r = .339, p < .05) significantly related to quality of life, while regression analysis shows that current health and AD history as a significant contributor (R2 = .496, p < .01) Furthermore, it is necessary to test the model with more diverse variables that significantly contributed to family caregivers’ quality of life.
