Abstract

This study examined the views about the future of persons with schizophrenia and their caregivers to understand what is at stake in engaging in recovery. The views of 60 Mexican-origin consumer-caregiver dyads were coded by three independent raters using a recovery literature-based coding system of recovery components: social relations, caregiving burden relief, independence, self-responsibility, and empowerment. General recovery expectations were also rated. Interrater reliability, component frequency, and congruence between the consumers and caregivers' expectations were statistically examined. Dominant recovery components for consumers and caregivers were independence (72.5%), general expectations for recovery (51%), and social relations (43%). Relatives differed in two important ways. Consumers held significantly greater expectations for independence (p < 0.01), whereas caregivers focused more on general recovery (p < 0.001). What matters for recovery for this sample of Mexican-origin consumers and caregivers differs. Addressing differences in views may facilitate person-centered treatment that considers the views of consumers and caregivers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
