Community psychiatric nurses were trained to deliver psychosocial intervention to clients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia living at home with relatives. The training package consisted of family assessment, health education, and family stress management strategies. In a 'quasi-experimental' design, a sample of families (n = 54) were recruited to either a control or experimental condition and followed up for 12 months. A number of favourable outcomes were observed in the experimental group, including improvements in the client's target symptoms, personal functioning, and social adjustment. Relatives' satisfaction with services increased and reports of their own minor psychiatric morbidity improved.
社区精神科护士接受了培训，以便为与亲属同住在家中的精神分裂症患者提供心理社会干预。培训内容包括家庭评估、健康教育和家庭压力管理策略。在一项“准实验”设计中，招募了一组家庭样本（n = 54），将其分为对照组或实验组，并随访12个月。在实验组中观察到了一些有利的结果，包括患者目标症状的改善、个人功能和社会适应能力的提高。亲属对服务的满意度增加，他们自身轻微精神疾病发病率的报告也有所改善。
