Özet

Objectives: This work was done in order to compare the levels of feeling guilt and embarrassment in the family members nursing schizoprenia and chronic renal failure patients and in individuals having no nursing role. Methods: 32 family members nursing schizophrenia patients at home, 56 family members nursing real failure-chronic patients, inspection group of 60 healthy individuals who are at the same age and sex with family members, totally 148 individuals have been examined. As data records, demographic information form and guilt-embarrassment scale have been used. Results: Guilt and embarrassment scores of family members offering care to schizophrenia patients at home were 51.4 +/- 6.79, whereas the scores were 44.3 +/- 11.13 for family members offering care to KBY patients at home and 34.9 +/- 0.10 in the control group. The guilt and embarrassment scores of the family members offering care to schizophrenia and KBY patients at home were significant when they were compared with the control group. A significant relationship could not be found between the socio-demographic variables investigated in this study, and the guilt and embarrassment scores. It was found that the level of guilt and embarrassment in family members offering care to schizophrenia patients at home was, independently of demographic variables, higher than that of the family members offering care to KBY patients at home. Conclusion: Guilt and embarrassment scores of family members offering home care to schizophrenia and KBY patients were higher than those of the control group. Moreover, the guilt and embarrassment scores of the family members offering home care to schizophrenia patients were higher than those of the others. It is recommended that nurses and other health personnel working with patients having chronic diseases should be provided with in-service training programs in order to improve their roles as educators, caregivers, counselors and rehabilitation experts and be able to understand the problems and difficulties the patients and their families experience, home care programs should be organized and activities should be held to raise awareness among the public in this regard.
