A decade ago, Angold et al [2] reported that little attention
had been paid to the parental burden resulting from
caring for children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders,
even in developed countries. In the ensuing years
this situation changed somewhat but in developing countries
there still remains a serious dearth of information
regarding caregiver burden, existing studies focusing on
caregiving in the adult psychiatric population [10]. The
implication of this is that there is a hiatus in available evidence
on which policy and health care planning can be
based. This diminishes the quality of service available to
the caregiver and by extension the patient.
This study, therefore, aimed to determine the demographic
characteristics of patients and their caregivers
which are associated with burden, as well as the impact
of patient diagnosis, level of functioning/impairment,
and presence of psychopathology in the caregiver.
