| description | Background: Studies have demonstrated that children of parents with schizophrenia have low self-esteem. However, only
scant data exist for the local population.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate self-esteem of Malay children of parents with schizophrenia and to
determine the associated socio-demographic and clinical factors.
Methods: A total of 118 children of parents with schizophrenia who attended Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM)
between May-September 2012 participated in the study. The children's self-esteem was measured using the Malay version of
Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSES). Patient's psychopathology and level of functioning were measured using the positive and
negative syndrome scale (PANSS) and global assessment of functioning (GAF), respectively.
Results: The RSES mean score was 23.86 ± 5.31 and low self-esteem (RSES score < 20) was reported by 32.2% subjects. In
multivariate analysis, the independent factors associated with low self-esteem were girls (OR 6.29), poor academic achievement
(OR 5.49), school attendance/ stopped schooling (OR 9.43), awareness of parental mental illness (OR 5.12) and parent was
divorced/widow/separated (OR 3.56). Psychopathology and level of functioning of parents were not significantly associated with
self-esteem of the children.
Conclusion: Malay children, particularly girls, of parents with schizophrenia had low self-esteem. Children with school
problems and whose parents divorced/separated also had low self-esteem. |
