Dyadic Effects of Stigma and Self-Compassion on Resilience of Schizophrenic Patients and Caregivers During Recovery: An Actor-Partner Interdependence Mediation Model

This study found that stigma not only directly affects the resilience of patients with schizophrenia and their primary caregivers, but also plays a mediating role in the resilience of patients themselves and their caregivers through self-compassion. It is recommended that medical staff carry out intervention based on dyadic perspective to help patients and their caregivers improve their ability to recover from difficulties, adapt and grow from adversity and crisis, attach importance to and promote the close relationship and positive interaction between them, so as to jointly cope with disease challenges and help patients return to society.
