Abstract

Background. Affective disorders (AD) often diagnosed in psychiatry. The occurrence and development of AD associated with significant negative social consequences and decrease in patients’ and their relatives’ quality of life. Stabilizing the mental state and maintaining the well-being of relatives caring for the patient is important in the context of preventing burnout, mental and somatic disorders, as well as preventing adverse forms of the disease in patients with AD.

Aim — study of the relationship between burnout and psychopathological symptoms in relatives caring for patients with mood disorders of various origins.

Materials and methods. The study involved 39 relatives of patients with AD. To assess the mental state of the respondents, the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised was used, the study of burnout and the resource personal activity in the process of informal caregiving was carried out using the Level of Relatives’ Emotional Burnout. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used as a measure of the relationship between the indicators.

Results. The analysis showed a significant number of positive correlations of subjectively noted psychopathological symptoms with various manifestations of burnout. Exhaustion is associated with severe anxiety, decrease in mood, increasing difficulties in interpersonal interaction, including with the patient being cared for. The feeling of a relatives’ own effectiveness in the process of helping a patient with AD is interrelated with indicators reflecting the course of the patient's disease, in particular, the duration of the disease and the duration of remission.

Conclusion. The manifestations of emotional burnout in relatives of patients with affective disorders are associated both with the experience of severe psychological distress, manifested primarily by anxiety and depressive symptoms, and with the characteristics of the patients’ disease, particularly the duration of illness and remission.
