Abstract:Family quality of life is affected when one member shows high support needs. Variables such as social support and sense of coherence appear to mediate the impact of care on quality of life. In the present study we analyzed the support perceived by caregivers, the meaning given to care, and the changes experienced in quality of life after assuming the role of caregiver. Participants consisted of 50 family members of individuals with mental illness who responded to a questionnaire to analyze the experience of caring and the perceived supports and quality of life. Although the results indicate that caregivers spend many hours performing care tasks, for a substantial percentage the quality of the relationship has improved after being caregiver. On average, the different dimensions of quality of life experienced a significant decline when dealing with care giving tasks. However, previous rela-tionship quality with the person receiving care, the handling of this task, or the existence of personal care time, affect ratings on quality of life.Keywords: Family quality of life, Social support; Sense of Coherence, Mental IllnessResumen:La calidad de vida de las familias se ve afectada cuando uno de sus miembros presenta elevadas necesidades de apoyo. Variables como el apoyo social y el sentido de coherencia parecen mediar en el impacto del cuidado sobre la calidad de vida. En el presente estudio analizamos los apoyos percibidos por los cuidadores, el significado otorgado al cuidado y los cambios experimentados  en la calidad de vida tras asumir el rol de cuidador. Los participantes han consistido en 50 familiares de personas con enfermedad mental, a quienes se les ha aplicado un cuestionario para analizar la experiencia de cuidar, los apoyos y la calidad de vida. Aunque los resultados indican que los cuidadores invierten muchas horas a las tareas de cuidado, para un porcentaje sustancial la relación ha mejorado tras asumir las tareas de cuidador. En promedio, diferentes dimensiones de calidad de vida experimentan un descenso significativo al tener que hacer frente a las tareas de cuidado. No obstante, la calidad de la relación mantenida previamente con la persona cuidada, la manejabilidad de esta tarea, o la existencia de tiempos para el cuidado personal, afectan a las valoraciones de la calidad de vida.Palabras clave: Calidad de vida familiar, Apoyo social, Sentido de coherencia, Enfermedad mental

The Impact

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam which has a function of faith, social and economic functions. Muslims who can pay zakat are required to give at least 2.5 per cent of their wealth. The problem of poverty prevalent in disadvantaged regions because of the difficulty of access to information and communication led to a gap that is so high in wealth and resources. The instrument of zakat provides a paradigm in the achievement of equitable wealth distribution and healthy circulation. Zakat potentially offers a better life and improves the quality of human being. There is a human quality improvement not only in economic terms but also in spiritual terms such as improving religiousity. This study aims to examine the role of zakat to alleviate humanitarian issues in disadvantaged regions such as Sijunjung, one of zakat beneficiaries and impoverished areas in Indonesia. The researcher attempted a Cibest method to capture the impact of zakat beneficiaries before and after becoming a member of Zakat Community Development (ZCD) Program in material and spiritual value. The overall analysis shows that zakat has a positive impact on disadvantaged regions development and enhance the quality of life of the community. There is an improvement in the average of mustahik household incomes after becoming a member of ZCD Program. Cibest model demonstrates that material, spiritual, and absolute poverty index decreased by 10, 5, and 6 per cent. Meanwhile, the welfare index is increased by 21 per cent. These findings have significant implications for developing the quality of life in disadvantaged regions in Sijunjung. Therefore, zakat is one of the instruments to change the status of disadvantaged areas to be equivalent to other areas.
