| description | Laporan ini mengetengahkan peranan Perawatan komuniti asertif (ACT) dalam
merawat sebuah keluarga yang kebanyakan ahlinya menghidap penyakit mental;
skizofrenia. Kami melaporkan satu kes iaitu seorang wanita dalam usia pertengahan
yang menghidapi penyakit skizofrenia resistan pada rawatan (TRS) yang tinggal
bersama dua lagi ahli keluarganya yang menghidapi penyakit yang sama. Mereka
dijaga oleh seorang penjaga yang menghidapi kemurungan major yang terkesan dari
bebanan menanggung ahli keluarga yang sakit mental. ACT melalui pendekatannya
yang holistik, terbukti dapat membantu mengurangkan risiko kemasukan ke hospital
serta dapat membantu dalam penambahbaikan kawalan penyakit dan kualiti hidup
keluarga ini.
This case report emphasizes the role of Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)
in managing a family with four members suffering from mental illness, mainly
schizophrenia. We report a case of middle-aged lady who was diagnosed with
treatment resistant schizophrenia (TRS) living with two other family members with
the same illness and their carer who developed major depression from shouldering
the burden of caring for mentally ill family members. ACT, through its holistic
approach, proved to have reduced hospitalizations and improve symptom control
and quality of life in this family.
