My research seeks to explore the experience of caring of family caregivers, who have been caring for family member with schizophrenia. A sequential explanatory mixed-method study combining quantitative and qualitative research methods will be employed in the project. The correlation between carers’ perceptive burden, family functioning, social and professional support will be examined via quantitative methods. Additionally, an in-depth interview will be employed to explore carers’ attitudes towards long-term care services and their views on whether support services contribute to their ability to meet their caring responsibilities.
