- Abstract
Childhood mental health problems demanded a holistic care approach from the health professional and family caregivers. Children under 15 years of ageconsist of roughly 33% of the total populace and around 5 to 15% of them are disabled with behavioural problems and their caregiver’s mental health is under great threat. Family caregivers play a crucial role in managing and caring for these patients. So, the researchers conducted a narrative review regarding caregiver’s stress, quality of life, burden and coping mechanism of children with behavioural disorder. The original research papers from different countries were searched through the electronic databases, Pro-Quest, Embase, Pub Med, Psyche ARTICLES, EBSCO, Research Gate, EORTC, Scopus etc. A total of 464 articles were retrieved from search engines. Finally, 15 articles were included in the review. Evidence of research work on attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) were plenty. The dearth of literature in Eastern India concerning caregiver’s psychological health was surveyed. Mothersexperienced high stress than the stress level in fathers. Family caregivers had poor quality of life, higher financial burden and find it hard to cope with the adverse situation. Interventional study results revealed that stress, depression and burden were significantly diminished after need-based education programs, coping skill training etc. Family care approach and need for interventional studies were recommended.The outcome of the reviewcan be incorporated into nursing research to empower the family caregivers.
