Title: | A controlled trial of a needs-based, nurse-led psychoeducation programme for Chinese patients with first-onset mental disorders : 6 month follow up | Authors: | Chien, WT Leung, SF |
Issue Date: | Feb-2013 | Source: | International journal of nursing practice, Feb. 2013, v. 19, suppl. S1, 3–13 | Abstract: | The study reported herein a randomized controlled trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a nurse-led, needs-based psycho-education program for Chinese patients with first-onset mental illness over a 6-month follow-up. Ninety-six families of Chinese patients with schizophrenia newly referred to one outpatient clinic in Hong Kong were randomly assigned to a nurse-led psycho-education program or usual outpatient care, each comprising 48 subjects. The patients’ mental health, illness insight, self-efficacy, services utilization, and hospitalization rates were measured at recruitment and at one week and six months post-intervention. The patients in the psycho-education program reported significantly greater improvements in mental health, insights into treatment and illness, and hospitalization rates over the 6-month follow-up, when compared with those who received usual care. The findings provide evidence that the needs-based, nurse-led psycho-education program can improve the health conditions and treatment insights of Chinese out-patients with first-onset mental illness. | Keywords: | Controlled trial First-episode mental illness Needs-based intervention Psychoeducation |
