“…Although ECT was generally viewed as beneficial, effective, and safe, memory impairment was its most commonly reported adverse effect. 14,32 The present study showed a significant difference in knowledge and attitude scores after video-assisted teaching program (P < 0.001). These findings are corroborated by several other studies that assessed the effect of educational intervention using the video among various groups such as caregivers, health care professionals, and the general public.…”

Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a widely used treatment modality for mental disorders such as major depression, bipolar affective disorder (BPAD) and catatonia. However, it is considered as one of the most controversial and misunderstood procedures, especially among caregivers. Methods: An experimental pre-test, post-test design was adopted. Forty caregivers of persons with schizophrenia ( n = 12), depression ( n = 13), BPAD with mania ( n = 8), and BPAD with depression ( n = 7) were selected using convenience sampling. The caregiver’s knowledge and attitude toward ECT were assessed before and after the intervention with a single session video-assisted teaching on ECT. The data collection tool used to assess the caregiver’s knowledge and attitude was based on a pre-validated questionnaire. Results: The pre-test evaluation demonstrated poor knowledge among 12 (30%) and a moderate level of knowledge on the remaining 28 (70%) of the study subjects. The attitude scores revealed a neutral attitude among 47.5% and a conservative attitude among 10% of the subjects toward ECT. There was a significant improvement in both mean (±SD) knowledge (13.4 ± 4.7 vs 25.6 ± 2.9) and attitude (10.7 ± 3.5 vs 14.6 ± 3.9) scores following intervention with video-assisted teaching. Conclusion: A single session involving video-assisted teaching improves the knowledge and attitude toward ECT among caregivers by removing the myths and misconceptions about ECT.

“…All data analyses were performed using the Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis software (CMA Version 2.0; Biostat, 2005). In the case of three studies (Jiao, Wang, Zhou, Bai, & Li, 2017; Li et al, 2016; Zhang et al, 2018) which examined MHL in both patients and caregivers, data for each sample group contributed to the analyses independently (Lipsey & Wilson, 2001). To avoid bias, for 10 studies (Chen et al, 2011; Chen & Tan, 2010; Chen, Zuo, & Shen, 2008; Ding & Chen, 2012; Huang, 2013; Jin, Zhang, Wang, & Duan, 2006; Liu, 2009; Tan, 2005; Xing & Kang, 2017; Xing, Xi, & Xu, 2002) which investigated participants' MHL before and after an intervention, only the data obtained before the intervention were utilized.…”

This review aimed to systematically investigate patients' and caregivers' knowledge and beliefs about mental illness in mainland China. A total of 48 eligible studies (N = 11 895) were retrieved from eight electronic databases. Prevalence statistics were computed for themes (eg, stress) under each construct relating to knowledge or belief about mental illness (eg, beliefs about causes). Effect size r was calculated for each correlation with an identified construct. We found that only 27.8% of patients recognized the symptoms of schizophrenia. Although 65% of caregivers declared that they knew the names of the disorders that their ill relatives had, depression (43.6%), schizophrenia (28.5%) and anxiety disorders (18.1%) had low recognition rates. Both caregivers and patients preferred psychosocial explanations of mental illness. Pharmacological interventions (eg, antipsychotics), non-specific actives (eg, "getting out and learning more"), mental health professionals (eg, psychiatrists) and informal support (eg, family) were each considered helpful for different disorders by caregivers, whereas regular contact with mental health professionals was not highly rated as helpful by patients. Additionally, while more patients knew about the effects of the medications that they were taking, more caregivers emphasized the importance of medicine adherence. Psychosocial variables (eg, family burden) demonstrated significant effects on both groups' mental health literacy. The government should invest more in supporting caregivers of people with mental disorders and monitor the implementation of mental health policies.
