Abstract | Aim: To explore the dynamic between Chinese people with bipolar disorder (BD) and family functioning. Methods: Nine New Zealand Chinese with BD were interviewed. Data analysis was guided by content and thematic approaches. Results: Four themes summarised from the interviews included: (1) family members are the primary resource; (2) many facets of recovery from BD is integrally linked with caregiving; (3) quality of family relationships is associated with acceptance of the illness; and (4) perception of caregiver burden motivates self-care. Conclusion: The findings support the need for mechanism that can minimise the risk of adverse family functioning associated with BD and the need of professional involvement when working with these families. |
