Message:
Abstract:
The aim of this study is to compare family function and expressed emotion in families with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and schizophrenic patients. Statistical population is families of patients with RA and schizophrenia in Loghman and Taleghani hospitals in Tehran from June to November 2010.Samples were selected through ac-cessible sampling and consist of 82 families with RA patients and 80 families with schizophrenic patients. In order to assess family function and expressed emotion, caregivers were asked to complete the Family Asse-ssment Device (FAD) and the Family Questionnaire (FQ). One sample t-test, independent-sample t-test and MA-NOVA were applied to analyze the collected data. Results show that family function and expressed emo-tion were significantly different in families of RA and schizophrenic patients. General family function, pro-blem solving, emotional responsiven-ess and emotional over-involvement had higher means in schizophrenic patient's families than RA patient's families. But differences in commu-nication, roles and behavior control were not significant. Also means of expressed emotion in criticism and emotional over-involvement dime-nsions are higher in families with schizophrenic patients than families with RA patients. Family functions in both groups of families were inefficient. Families with schizoph-renic patients indicate more dysfu-nctions and problems in domains of problem solving, emotional respo-nsiveness and emotional involvement in comparison with families with RA patients. Furthermore, criticism and emotional over-involvement patterns are used more in families with schizophrenic patients compared with families with RA patients.
