Outline of Final Research Achievements	Families of mentally ill patients in Japan suffer much from prejudice against mental illness, including the burden of caregiving. It is necessary to improve support for patients with mental illness and their families in the community.The purpose of this study was to clarify the attitudes and perceptions of support professionals in the community toward family support in order to empower the families of mentally ill patients living in the community and to help the families recover.①A web-based 30-item questionnaire survey measuring the frequency and importance of family care for mentally ill patients was administered to support professionals who provide support for mentally ill patients in the community.② Simple tabulations of the questionnaire items were conducted.143 people participated in this survey. The survey suggested that many family-oriented supports were being practiced, but that some items, while highly important, were not being implemented frequently enough.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	日本で精神疾患をもつ人の家族は、当事者の回復を願いながらも疾患のもつ困難さや精神疾患に対するスティグマの中で、介護の負担などの多くの苦しみを抱いている。地域生活をしている精神疾患をもつ人の家族が看護職者を中心に関連する職種が連携しながら、外来および地域の場で役割と目的をもって家族への支援を実施していくことの意義は大きい。本研究の成果を精神疾患をもつ人とその家族への支援に活かすことにより、当事者の回復だけでなく、家族のリカバリーの促進につながり、家族がエンパワメントされ家族自身が豊かな人生を歩むための一助になると考える。
