| Abstract | ||
| This research aims to clarify the role of the family environment and its relationship with psychological disorders in female patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. To achieve these objectives, a survey was designed to collect primary data from the study sample through personal interviews. A family environment scale for adults (developed by the researcher) was also prepared, along with the new Cornell list for neurotic and psychosomatic aspects (by Dr. Mahmoud Abu Al-Neil). This was applied to a sample of 30 female patients with systemic lupus erythematosus at Al-Demerdash Hospital in Cairo Governorate. The researchers employed a correlational descriptive method to complete the study, using appropriate statistical measures to test the validity of the hypotheses and answer the study questions. The results indicated that the family environment scale for adults possesses good psychometric properties in terms of internal consistency, validity, and reliability based on the current study sample. Furthermore, the findings showed a correlation between psychological disorders and systemic lupus erythematosus, with psychosomatic disorders being the most prevalent among these patients. The results also indicated no correlation between the family environment and psychological disorders in female patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Through these findings, the study concluded with several recommendations, the most important of which are the need for further studies and research on the topic, as well as the design of therapeutic and counseling programs for lupus patients and their families. | ||
