Description
Abstract - Changes and advancement of people daily living
haveextremely complex consequences, thereby constructive
adaptation processes are necessary in dealing with it.
However, not all individuals have the ability to
constructively adapt to a change so that it can ultimately
cause mental disorders. Exploration of the family burden
as a support system for the patients is very important
because of the high dependence of the patients to their
family in dealing with the disease. Even thoughit is also a
responsibility for the family members to be concernedof the
patients condition. This study aims to explore the burdenof
a family in caring for a family member who is mentally
disturbed. A phenomenological approach was applied in
this qualitative research. In-depth interviews were
concluded after obtaining data saturation. Data saturation
was acquired after interviewing 5 families of patients. Data
analysis conducted using the Collaizi method which
resulted in four themes, namely: The burden experienced
since the beginning of patients‘caring, raging emotions as n
negative yet hidden impact of caring, the economic
problems due to costs needed to treat the patients and the
feeling of failure in caring which disrupt the treatment
progress. It was concluded that treating mentally
disordered patients could also burden the families, notably
the psychology aspect. Therefore the cooperation of the
family is a crucial matter to provide in caring for the
sufferers.
