Abstract


Families often bear a substantial amount of the burden of any illness in a relative and this is true in schizophrenia. Families no longer consider them self a cause but still are obligated to care for their children. A large body of literature explores the familial interactions and clinical course of schizophrenia (Tasman, 2003). Here it's a huge problem of coping of care givers schizophrenia. Coping style is a person's characteristic strategies used in response to life problems or trauma. These can include thoughts, emotions or behaviour. The term coping refers to the process by which a person attempts to manage stressful demands. The aim of the present study was to explore the coping strategies of caregivers of Schizophrenia patients. The sample size of the study is 60 caregivers of schizophrenic patients. The tools used for assessing the variables are Socio Demographic Data Sheet (Self made), General Health Questionnaire, and The Cope Scale. Suggests Emotion-Focused Coping was mostly used by the caregivers of schizophrenic patients.
