The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the burden on caregivers of schizophrenic patients and their perceived social support.<br /> <strong>Methods</strong>: In this cross-sectional study, the statistical population consisted of all Caregivers of schizophrenic patients referred to Farabi Psychiatric Center of Kermanshah in 2019.

There was a significant statistical reverse correlation between social support and family burden (p<.001, r=-378). The regression model showed that social support could predict family pressure.
