本研究目的，想知道精神病患家屬參與座談會對照顧知識認知能力是否有實質的效益，家屬參與座談會的程度與照顧認知能力的效益相關性。以中區某醫學中心精神科所有病房的精神病患家屬爲研究對象，將精神病患家屬照顧認知分五方面，即A.醫療療程、B.病人照護、C.心理支持、D.社會資源、E.就業資訊，設計調查問卷。照顧認知能力評估周五分法，由很清楚5分到很不清楚1分測量：以立意取樣進行普查，共發出88份，有效回收率爲73.86%。資料分析以電腦統計分析套裝軟體SPSS 8.01作處理，研究結果發現，家屬的照顧認知方面平均在2.96分，家屬參與情形約41.5%不到一半，精神病患家屬參與經驗與程度在照顧認知能力大致成正相關性，由此可見家屬座談會有其必要性及實質意義。

The questionnaire had a total of 35 questions. A 5-point Liker scale was utilized to evaluate the family members' care recognition ability. Samples were chosen by convenience sampling. Eighty-eight questionnaires were given to the family members. More than seventy-three percent of the questionnaires were returned and admissable to the study. The data was analyzed by SPSS, frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, T-distribution, one-way-ANOVA, and regression analysis. The results of the study showed that there was a positive correlation between family members' experience and level of participation in the family conference along with their care recognition ability. The results of the survey indicated that the family conference was important and valuable. The survey also suggested the need for future studies to further investigating the five categories in the psychiatric profession. The family education group and spiritual healing group was found to enhance family members' care recognizing abilities. The family members could also gain support from each other and relieve their stress in process of participating in the groups.
