 Long-term hospitalization of chronic schizophrenia patients has become a concern in psychiatric care in Japan. Believing that the mental health status of family members is a substantial factor for this long-term hospitalization and surmising that family members of patients may be, based on their statements, suffering from PTSD, we administered the GHQ-12, SDS, and IES-R to patients' family members. The result was that the proportion of patients' family members whose scores exceeded the cut-off level for each test was 63.2% for the GHQ-12, 84.0% for the SDS, and 57.9% for the IES-R. Many patients' family members faced problems in terms of mental health and were suspected of suffering from PTSD. Therefore, this suggests that improvement in the mental health of family members of patients undergoing long-term hospitalization for schizophrenia may be linked to the prevention of long-term hospitalization.
