“…These treatments are basically “psychoeducational interventions” designed to improve the family environment through programs that provide families with support, information, structure, and specific coping mechanisms in dealing effectively with their ill relatives ( McFarlane, 1997 ). Based on the identified needs of the families and those of the mentally ill patient, these interventions generally have the common goals of: 1) providing necessary information about the illness to family members; 2) helping family members and patients cope with problems in daily living; 3) educating families and patients about the complex mental health network; and 4) providing expert or peer-mediated social and emotional support to patients and families ( Bernheim & Lehman, 1984 ; O'Shea, Bicknell, & Wheat ley, 1991 ).…”

“…This module is typically at the core of most psychoeducational programs (Anderson et al, 1981;Falloons, Boyd, McGill, Razani, Moss, & Gilderman, 1982;O'Shea et al, 1991). The purpose of this module is to provide an organized and conceptually consistent model of understanding schizophrenia, to reduce tension, and to change attitudes about the illness.…”

“…Problem-solving skills (Falloon et al, 1981;Falloon et al, 1982;Kuipers, MacCarthy, Hurry, & Harper, 1989;O'Shea et al, 1991) is another common module presented in psychoeducational treatment programs. The purpose of this module is to increase the patient's and family's ability to cope with major crises and problems in daily living.…”

“…The current literature contains several psychoeducational models to treats schizophrenic patients and their families (Abramowitz & Coursey, 1989;Anderson, Hogarty, & Reiss, 1981;Falloons, Boyd, McGill, Strang, & Moss, 1981;O'Shea, Bicknell, & Wheatley, 1991). These models contain specific treatment components, or modules, aimed at increasing the patient's and family's adaptation and management of schizophrenia.…”

“…Many of the psychoeducational treatment programs educate patients and families about community resources (Abramowitz & Coursey, 1989;O'Shea et al, 1991;Smith & Birchwood, 1987). Information is provided to families about support and advocacy organizations such as the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI), and some models advocate inviting a representative from local or national groups to meet with the patients and families discuss the organization, and solicit new members.…”

Effects of Psychoeducation on Caregivers of Individuals Experiencing Schizophrenia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

The existing paradigm on recovery in mental health prioritises self‐empowerment and person‐centred, community‐based care, which necessitates family caregivers' collaboration to support individuals with schizophrenia in the community. However, the role of family caregivers is often under‐recognised and hence insufficiently supported. This consequently compromises caregivers' well‐being and, ultimately, the recovery of individuals with schizophrenia. Although caregiver‐targeted psychoeducation may offer practical support, its effectiveness lacks conclusive evidence. This review aimed to evaluate the impacts of psychoeducation on caregiver‐related outcomes (caregiver burden, quality of life and expressed emotion). Eight electronic databases were searched from inception to September 2023, supplemented by hand searching of end‐reference lists. Two reviewers independently conducted title and abstract screening with predetermined eligibility criteria. A third reviewer was consulted to resolve any discrepancies. A random‐effects meta‐analysis was performed to estimate pooled effect sizes alongside subgroup and sensitivity analyses where appropriate. Twenty‐one studies (totalling 1639 caregivers) were included, based on which psychoeducation contributed to a statistically significant improvement in caregiver‐related outcomes. Given substantial heterogeneity, subgroup and sensitivity analyses were done for the durations and the evaluative scales for psychoeducation. Quality appraisal revealed unclear or high bias in most studies. Notwithstanding the heterogeneity, the directions of the effect sizes consistently indicated the effectiveness of psychoeducation across all outcomes. This finding aligned with Lazarus' stress appraisal and coping theory, which states that psychoeducation improves caregivers' knowledge, coping mechanisms and situation appraisal. Our findings offer encouraging evidence to advocate the integration of psychoeducation into healthcare services, but policy‐based support is warranted for sustained implementation. Further research is merited to optimise its duration and content and appraise its long‐term impacts through disease‐specific scales for objective and subjective outcomes.
