The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of South African caregivers caring for a family member with schizophrenia, living in conditions of poverty. Of particular interest in this research was to explore the factors that present challenges to their capacity to care and the factors that facilitate coping. A qualitative methodology was utilized, making use of semi-structured interviews which were conducted with ten caregivers caring for a family member with schizophrenia. Data were analysed using analytic techniques from grounded theory. Six broad themes emerged during analysis, namely: caregivers' assistance with activities of daily living; involvement with illness management; knowledge of illness; consequences of caregiving; coping with care giving; and the impact of poverty on care giving. 2014-12-27T14:12:37Z 2014-12-27T14:12:37Z 2008 Master Thesis Masters MSocSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10240 eng application/pdf Department of Psychology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
