Abstract

This predictive research aimed to study the level of capabilities for care operation and factors predicting caregivers' capabilities for care operation for persons with substance-induced psychosis. The sample comprised 120 primary caregivers of persons with substance-induced psychosis at Thanyarak Songkhla hospital and Thanyarak Pattani hospital. The research instrument consisted of 8 parts: (1) general information of caregivers, (2) general information for persons with substance induced psychosis, (3) perception of health status of caregivers, (4)perceptions of illness severity, (5) social support, (6) family relationships, (7) caregivers' capabilities for care operating for persons with substance induced psychosis, and (8) negative expressed emotion. The content validity of the instruments was verified by five experts. The content validity index of part 4 and 7 were 1.00, and .87 respectively. The reliability of part 4 to 8 was tested. The sample yielded Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of .86, .81, .90, .91 and .82, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The predictability was analyzed using standard multiple regression analysis (Enter Method). The result showed that capabilities for care operation for persons with substance induced psychosis was at moderate level (M = 3.40, SD = 0.41). Predictive factors could explain 36.5 percent of the variance (R² = .365, p< .05). For consideration, the factors that significantly predicted were perceptions of illness severity (ß = .513, p< .05), family relationships (ß = .391, p< .05), age (ß = .235, p< .05), and social support (ß = .200, p< .05). The results of this study could be used as basic information to develop nursing programs to promote caregivers' capabilities for care operation for persons with substance induced psychosis.
