本研究探讨了精神分裂症患者的拉丁裔家庭的希望和家庭负担。样本包括54个家庭成员，每个门诊成人从公共精神卫生项目在一个多样化的城市社区招募一个家庭成员。分层线性回归分析被用来测试的假设，即家庭成员的增加对病人的未来的希望将与减少家庭负担超出了解释的影响，病人的疾病的长度和症状的严重程度。结果支持研究假设。家庭对病人未来的希望与五种家庭负担中的四种有关。调查结果指出，希望作为拉丁美洲家庭应对亲人严重精神疾病的恢复力来源的重要作用。
This study examined hope and family burden among Latino families of individuals with schizophrenia. The sample consisted of 54 family members, one family member per outpatient adult recruited from public mental health programs in a diverse urban community. Hierarchical linear regression analyses were used to test the hypothesis that the family member's increased hope for the patient's future would be associated with decreased family burden beyond effects explained by the patient's length of illness and severity of symptoms. Results supported the study hypothesis. Family hope for the patient's future was associated with four of five types of family burden. Findings point to the prominent role of hope as a source of resilience for Latino families dealing with severe mental illness of a loved one.
