Life Events and Social Support in Married Schizophrenics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Life events are associated with relapse in schizophrenia. However, the role and interplay of marriage and social support have not been explored in research on schizophrenia, especially stable patients. Life events and social support were assessed in two groups comprising 30 married and an equal number of unmarried patients of schizophrenia. The time frame for these assessments was a period of 6 months prior to such evaluation. The married group reported higher stress score and greater number of undesirable life events. Negative correlation was present for social support with number of undesirable life events in the sample as a whole. Hence, it is concluded that marriage leads to experiencing more stress but there are other psychosocial variables mitigating the same and preventing relapse.
