  • Title: [Family Burden in the Case of Intellectual Disability and a Comorbid Mental Disorder].
    Author: Werner A, Voß E, Salize HJ, Puschner B, Stiawa M, Koch A, Schützwohl M.
    Journal: Psychiatr Prax; 2016 Oct; 43(7):380-386. PubMed ID: 26488265.
    Abstract:
    Objective: Within the MEMENTA-study informal caregivers of grown-up persons with an intellectual disability (ID) with and without a comorbid mental disorder were interviewed. Main outcomes were family burden, quality of life, psychiatric symptomatology and problem behavior. Methods: The sample consisted of 123 informal caregivers. Results: Problem behavior was associated with a higher family burden than psychiatric symptomatology. Conclusion: Rather than mental disorders, problem behavior seemed to be more relevant for the experience of family burden.
