Abstract
Background: Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness that burdens individuals. Caregivers providing at-home
care also face challenges. Psychoeducational interventions show promise in alleviating difficulties for
caregivers. A quasi-experimental study was conducted at El-abasia Mental Health Hospital in Cairo, Egypt
to assess the effectiveness of such interventions. The sample size was 50 family caregivers of schizophrenic
patients. The results revealed a statistically significant difference in both total caregiver burden and its
subscales (P< 0.001), as well as in the total cope inventory and its subscales across the three phases of
assessment. These findings indicate that the psychoeducational intervention program has a positive impact
on reducing burdens and improving coping patterns among family caregivers of patients with
schizophrenia. Consequently, the establishment of dedicated counseling clinics tailored specifically for
family caregivers of individuals with schizophrenia is necessary to enhance resilience, coping skills, and
overall quality of life.
