Why is it important?
Psychoeducational family intervention may be still effective in the 14-year follow-up, especially in patients’ treatment adherence/compliance and social functioning. Psychoeducational family intervention may be more effective in places where family members frequently participated in patients’ care and had a lower level of knowledge on mental illness. Family intervention should be considered when making mental health policy and planning men- tal health services.
