They are considered as a patient because of their responsibility for caring mental patients that may make them suffer from mental exhaustion. This investigation was done to determine the rate of mental exhaustion of these persons referred to Zahedan psychiatric center in 2000.

Data was presented by descriptive and analytical indices. Findings: From all caregivers 26.4%, 60.8% and 12.8% suffered from mild, moderate and severe exhaustion respectively. According to the report, the exhaustion developed after taking care of patients with schizophrenia and psychotic disorders was more prevalent than mood disorders. In this study, 73.6% of family caregivers suffered from moderate and severe exhaustion. Conclusion: Long term care of patients with mental disorders cause caregivers to experience a sense of burden that can endanger their mental health and deteriorate the quality of care. It is recommended that intervention be imposed to reduce such burdens.A NavidianAR SalarA Hashemi NiaA KeikhaeiBabol University of Medical Sciencesarticleexhaustioncaregiversmental patientsMedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ENFAMajallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, Vol 3, Iss 4, Pp 33-38 (2001)
