Abstract: This study describes and compares 33 patients' and 33 family members' illness beliefs. Since family illness beliefs may differ between patients and family members, it is important to identify and compare family dyads' illness beliefs when living with mental illness to understand potential different needs and concerns. Using descriptive statistics, the findings revealed that family members are less reassured than the patients about their beliefs regarding the cause, control, effect, suffering, and support related to mental illness. This emphasizes the importance of mental healthcare professionals to pay greater attention to assessing family illness beliefs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
