Abstract |
In order to compare the effect of psychoeducation on the coping styles of family members of schizophrenia toward the difficult situations, 64 family members of schizophrenia were assigned into three groups, such as traditional lecture group(N=20). educational videotape group(N = 21), and non-educational group(N = 23), and were participated psychoeducation program separately for 4 hours by two weeks. The four difficult situations include patients' noncompliance with medication, violent behaviors, unusual talking and behaviors, and lack of motivation, The results were as follows. family members of schizophrenia use most frequently two strategies of *soothe and plead with patients* or compromise between what they want and what patient wants*.
2) Regarding the change of perception of the coping styles of family members of schizophrenia toward the four common difficult situations after psychoeducation, lecture group and videotape group showed marked changes compared with those of the non-educational group after psychoeducation. And lecture group was superior to videotape group in those changes.
These results suggest that the psychoeducation using the educational videotape might be the useful way to educate family members of schizophrenia. |
