This condition makes the family as the patient's closest party required to always accompany and assist him in carrying out activities.

The purpose of this study was to analyze Self Help Group (SHG) in improving the quality of family life caring for schizophrenia patients. This study used a quasy experimental design with a pre-post test with control group design. The study population was 40 respondents. The sampling technique used purposive sampling which a research sample of 36 respondents divided into 18 respondents in each control and treatment group. The results of this study showed that the average score of family quality of life in caring for schizophrenia patients in the control group before the health education intervention was 88.5 and after intervention was 92.78, while before the intervention in the treatment group was 87.28 and after it was 111.06. The result have significant ρ-value of 0,000 was also obtained, which means that there are differences in the quality of family life in caring for schizophrenic patients after being given intervention in the control and treatment groups.

GROW is a self help group which commenced in Sydney 30 years ago to assist mental patients rehabilitate. Some fear that this is not occurring. This study aimed to assess, by questionnaires, the mental health status of GROW at-tenders in Western Australia. There was a 93% response rate with demographic variables similar to an earlier Australia-wide survey. Individual scores on the GHQ and a Work, Leisure and Family Life Questionnaire showed a higher level of dysfunction than that in a “normal” population with men, on the average, scoring higher than women. Questions on medical care indicated that between 50—70% of attenders had previously been treated for a nervous condition. It is concluded that GROW is reaching a group of people with significant mental morbidity.

This study aims to examine two related contemporary issues in cancer care; why people with cancer use complementary therapies [CM] and what lessons there may be in this for Cancer Centre Services. The report will be presented in two parts. Part 1 is in the current issue and Part 2 will follow in the next. In Part 1 the main questions are identified and contextualised with the current literature on complementary therapy use. In Part 2 the method, results and analysis the survey and interviews will be explored. 148 patients attending the Leicestershire Cancer Centre returned questionnaires of whom 14 were interviewed in three separate focus groups. Patients from a cancer patient self help group were also interviewed as a fourth focus group. The qualitative data enabled a deeper analysis and evaluation of the quantitative data to be made. The discussion of the data places the main questions asked by the study into a wider context, including the Calman Hine Report and patient-centred care. The conclusions are that although a significant minority of patients [13%] were using CM at the time of the survey a significant majority of respondents [73%] identified a role for CM alongside conventional cancer treatment and 78% responded that staff at the Cancer Centre should be trained to advise them on the use of CM. The respondents acknowledged the resource and educational implications for Cancer Centres but stated that equal status should be given to care and cure in managing malignant disease. This in line with the Calman–Hine Report. Far greater numbers of patients may use CM if appropriate levels of resources and information were available. The findings indicate that integration of CM could assist in promoting future improvements in quality of survival and patient-centred care as identified by Calman–Hine and other recent health policy initiatives.
