Abstract

This article focuses on predictors of family caregiver burden in individuals experiencing first-episode psychosis (FEP). The study assessed cognitive function, symptom severity, demographic factors, and social and occupational functioning in 61 FEP participants and measured caregiver burden through the Family Assessment Scale. Results showed that the severity of delusions was a significant predictor of caregiver burden, while IQ, race, age, and social and occupational functioning were not. These findings suggest that active delusions early in psychotic illness contribute more to caregiver burden than other examined factors.
