“…Social support 23 and psychoeducation programs for family members [31][32][33] have been found to have positive effects on resilience and health outcomes for individuals and the family unit. Also, the duration of the caregiving experience, which is closely related to increasing age of the mentally ill care recipient, has been associated with resilience and quality of life in family members of adults with serious mental illness.…”

“…Those in the psychoeducation group improved more in self-efficacy than a group receiving routine care (t = -7.16, p < .01). The effectiveness of the psychoeducation program was then tested in another study of 73 Chinese family caregivers of persons with schizophrenia 31 ; this study also examined longer-term effects. Postintervention effects on self-efficacy were similar to those in the first study and these effects were sustained at 6 months, but not at 12 months, indicating a need for continued intervention to promote self-efficacy.…”

“…For example, the measures used were self-reported, and the mentally ill persons were primarily men, although caregivers were women. 31 Also, the studies included only family members who were willing to participate, so this group might have had more motivation to change, leading to positive outcomes. 32 …”

“…Entre os métodos/técnicas pedagógicas utilizados ao longo do programa, presume-se que as discussões orientadas e os trabalhos de grupo foram os mais eficazes, por serem os que melhor proporcionaram a possibilidade dos participantes esclarecerem as suas fortes", ambas respeitantes à Dimensão "Avaliação global das sessões". dúvidas, partilharem as suas ideias e preocupações com o formador e com o grupo (Baptista, 2007;Brewer, 1997), que se trata de uma das necessidades sentidas pelos familiares de doentes com esquizofrenia (Caqueo-Urízar et al, 2014;Chan et al, 2009;Nasr & Kausar, 2009).…”

“…É uma abordagem educativa que visa ajudar os doentes e/ou seus familiares a aprender os principais aspetos sobre uma doença; esclarecer dúvidas e desmistificar crenças sobre a doença; fornecer estratégias de coping; reduzir o stress familiar provocado pela doença; prestar apoio social; bem como, promover o envolvimento ativo do doente e da família nos cuidados de saúde (Caqueo-Urízar, Rus-Calafell, Urzúa, Escudero, & Gutiérrez-Maldonado, 2015;Chan, Yip, Tso, Cheng, & Tam, 2009;Petitjean, 2011). Esta é uma abordagem baseada em métodos experimentais e científicos, e caracteriza-se por ser estruturada, diretiva, limitada no tempo, focada no presente e no desenvolvimento de capacidades que permitam uma melhor gestão da doença (Pitschel-Walz, Rummel-Kluge, Reichhart, Bäuml, & Kissling, 2007;Reichhart, Pitschel-walz, Kissling, & Bäuml, 2010).…”

ResumoA Psicoeducação é uma abordagem educativa não-formal,que tem vindo a ganhar relevo pelo impacto positivo que exerce no processo de recuperação de determinadas doenças.Esta abordagem tem como principal objetivo fornecer informação sobre uma doença e disponibilizar ferramentas para lidar com as particularidades do problema de saúde.A literatura sobre intervenções psicoeducativas refere-se essencialmente a sessões expositivas de conhecimentos técnicos da doença, parecendo existir poucas referências que especifiquem outros métodos e técnicas pedagógicas utilizadas neste tipo de intervenção.Assim, o objetivo do presente trabalho é apresentar um programa de psicoeducação,dando principal enfoque ao papel dos vários métodos e técnicas pedagógicas utilizadas no mesmo. Palabras clave: Educação para a saúde, família, programa.A Psicoeducação enquadra-se nas formas de educação não formal, visto que se trata de uma ação educativa organizada, que se desenvolve fora dos sistemas formais de ensino (Tudor, 2013). É uma abordagem educativa que visa ajudar os doentes e/ou seus familiares a aprender os principais aspetos sobre uma doença; esclarecer dúvidas e desmistificar crenças sobre a doença; fornecer estratégias de coping; reduzir o stress familiar provocado pela doença; prestar apoio social; bem como, promover o envolvimento ativo do doente e da família nos cuidados de saúde (Caqueo-Urízar,

Background Schizophrenia can be a severe and chronic illness characterised by lack of insight and poor compliance with treatment. Psychoeducational approaches have been developed to increase patients’ knowledge of, and insight into, their illness and its treatment. It is supposed that this increased knowledge and insight will enable people with schizophrenia to cope in a more effective way with their illness, thereby improving prognosis. Objectives To assess the effects of psychoeducational interventions compared with standard levels of knowledge provision. Search methods We searched the Cochrane Schizophrenia Group Trials Register (February 2010). We updated this search November 2012 and added 27 new trials to the awaiting assessment section. Selection criteria All relevant randomised controlled trials focusing on psychoeducation for schizophrenia and/or related serious mental illnesses involving individuals or groups. We excluded quasi-randomised trials. Data collection and analysis At least two review authors extracted data independently from included papers. We contacted authors of trials for additional and missing data. We calculated risk ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of homogeneous dichotomous data. We used a fixed-effects model for heterogeneous dichotomous data. Where possible we also calculated the numbers needed to treat (NNT), as well as weighted means for continuous data. Main results This review includes a total of 5142 participants (mostly inpatients) from 44 trials conducted between 1988 and 2009 (median study duration ~ 12 weeks, risk of bias - moderate). We found that incidences of non-compliance were lower in the psychoeducation group in the short term (n = 1400, RR 0.52 CI 0.40 to 0.67, NNT 11 CI 9 to 16). This finding holds for the medium and long term. Relapse appeared to be lower in psychoeducation group (n = 1214, RR 0.70 CI 0.61 to 0.81, NNT 9 CI 7 to 14) and this also applied to readmission (n = 206, RR 0.71 CI 0.56 to 0.89, NNT 5 CI 4 to 13). Scale-derived data also suggested that psychoeducation promotes better social and global functioning. In the medium term, treating four people with schizophrenia with psychoeducation instead of standard care resulted in one additional person showing a clinical improvement. Evidence suggests that participants receiving psychoeducation are more likely to be satisfied with mental health services (n = 236, RR 0.24 CI 0.12 to 0.50, NNT 5 CI 5 to 8) and have improved quality of life. Authors’ conclusions Psychoeducation does seem to reduce relapse, readmission and encourage medication compliance, as well as reduce the length of hospital stay in these hospital-based studies of limited quality. The true size of effect is likely to be less than demonstrated in this review - but, nevertheless, some sort of psychoeducation could be clinically effective and potentially cost beneficial. It is not difficult to justify better, more applicable, research in this area aimed at fully investigating the effects of this promising approach. No...
