Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between internal stigmatization, emotional regulation, and relationship satisfaction among caregivers of bipolar patients. Persons living with and looking after their loved ones having bipolar disorder experience different types and intensity of burden which may affect their own well being as well as caregiving. 150 men and women caregivers of bipolar patients were approached from hospitals in Lahore. Measures included demographic sheet, Stigma Scale for the Caregivers of Persons with Mental Illness, Emotional Regulation Questionnaire, and Relationship Satisfaction Scale. Internal stigmatization is negatively correlated with emotion regulation and relationship satisfaction while relationship satisfaction and emotional regulation are positively correlated. Internal stigmatization is a significant negative predictor of relationship satisfaction. Gender differences were observed in emotional regulation. Treatment of bipolar patients should have family focused approach. The therapists must consider care giver’s burden while designing interventions.
