RESUMO
This paper reports the development and validation of the Wuxi version of the Rehabilitation Needs Questionnaire for Caregivers of People with Schizophrenia (PRNQ-C-WX) based on the original Hong Kong version (PRNQ-C-HK). PRNQ-C-WX was validated by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) using a convenience sample consisting of 200 caregivers of people with schizophrenia. EFA yielded an eight-factor solution accounting for 63.8 % of the total variance which resulted in a 50-item PRNQ-C-WX. The questionnaire has excellent internal consistencies. Its factor structure is similar to the Hong Kong version. Some suggestions for policy, service and research development in mental health in mainland China are made.

A quantitative survey was conducted to investigate the perceived rehabilitation needs based on people with schizophrenia and their caregivers. A total of 194 persons with schizophrenia and 83 caregivers were recruited by convenience sampling to complete the two newly developed questionnaires for this purpose which included the Perceived Rehabilitation Needs Questionnaire for People with Schizophrenia and the Perceived Rehabilitation Needs Questionnaire for Caregivers towards People with Schizophrenia respectively. The findings deepened the understanding of this area. Some policy and service development suggestions for mental health strategies in Hong Kong and the Asian-Pacific region were made.
