Family support has been shown to be protective against CD, yet the relationship between these in psychotic patients remains complex and not fully understood. This study investigated the association between a subdomain of family support, namely, family involvement (estimated through a proxy measure), cognitive functioning, and sex in first-episode psychosis (FEP) patients. The sample included 308 patients enrolled in the Program for Early Phases of Psychosis (PAFIP), divided into 4 groups based on their estimated family involvement (eFI) level and sex, and compared on various variables. Women presented lower rates of eFI than men (37.1% and 48.8%). Higher eFI was associated with better cognitive functioning, particularly in verbal memory. This association was stronger in women. The findings suggest that eFI may be an important factor in FEP patients’ cognitive functioning. This highlights the importance of including families in treatment plans for psychotic patients to prevent CD. Further research is needed to better understand the complex interplay between family support, sex, and cognitive functioning in psychotic patients and develop effective interventions that target these factors. date: 2023-06 publication: Healthcare volume: 11 number: 13 pagerange: 1902 id_number: doi:10.3390/healthcare11131902 refereed: TRUE issn: 2227-9032 official_url: http://doi.org/10.3390/healthcare11131902 access: open language: en citation: Artículo Materias > Psicología Universidad Europea del Atlántico > Investigación > Producción Científica Abierto Inglés Schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) often show cognitive deficits (CD) impacting daily life.
