This paper tries to provide a good reference in strument for applicationj by nurses in home care, in order to understand and evaluate family needs. Subjects are schizophrenic or manic-depression out patients from 3 hospitals located in northern Taiwan. Date were collected though home interview with primary caregivers and observations. There were fifty subjects from each of the 3 hospitals, and 151 subjects in total. Descriptive statistics, t-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson correlation and multiple stepwise correlation were used to analyze data. Research indicates that most patients are aged between 31 to 40, with over 10 years elapsed since onset, and are not married. Most primary caregivers are parents over 60 years old. Most family development was at the stage with young adult offspring. The manic-depressive patients have more working opportunities than schizophrenic patients. For schizophrenic patients, paranoia was the most serious in active symptoms; lack of interpresonal interaction was the most serious in negative symptoms; the other major problem was sleep disturbance in emotion- behavior assessment. Patient’s disposition was the most concerning issue for families and the worst coping efficiency occurred with lazy behavior and sleep disturbance . For manic-depressive patients, aggressive behavior was the most serious active symptom, lack of energy ws the most serious in negative symptom, and sleep disturbance was the most concerning problem in emotion-behaveior assessment. The patient’s symptom was the most concerning issue for families and the worst coping efficiency was found in drug side effect. The result also in dicated that active and negative symptoms are both related to coping eff iciency.
