- Abstract
Families of children with mental illnesses are often concerned about living in the community after their parents' death. The cross-sectional study aimed to examine the association between how parents prepare adult children with mental illnesses to live independently after the death of the parent(s). The participants were 1112 members of 46 family support groups for mental illnesses in Tokyo, Japan. The age of the people with mental illness was 40s, and that of their parents was 70s. Logistic regression analysis showed that mothers' support in daily living, no income or pension for disabled people, staying at home during free time, and parental livelihood being the same as the person with mental illness were factors that were negatively associated with the independent living of people with mental illness. In contrast, parental participation in the family group and creating a system for securing regular living expenses of the person with mental illness were positively associated with independent living. The results suggest that parents need to promote their children's recovery and prepare them financially by forecasting their independent living after their own death.
