The Effectiveness of Online-Based Psychoeducation in Improving Family Caregivers' Ability to Care for Schizophrenia Patients: A Scoping Review

Subject

family's ability,

Schizophrenia

Description

Introduction: The problem with providing psychoeducation directly is that
distance and time become obstacles; an effective, efficient, and easily
accessible method can be achieved by utilizing information technology
through online media. This scoping review aimed to identify the
effectiveness of online psychoeducation in enhancing the ability of families
to care for patients with schizophrenia.
Methods: This scoping review used the PICO framework to develop article
questions. The databases were PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar.
The selected articles were published in the last 5 years, from 2019 to 2024.
The keywords were used "psychoeducation" AND "online" AND "family
capacity" AND "schizophrenia".
Results: The search results found 434 articles, only 14 of which met the
criteria. There were four online psychoeducation articles and ten direct
psychoeducation articles. All articles were experimental studies. The
search results found that online psychoeducation was more effective in
improving the ability of families to care for schizophrenia patients. Offline
psychoeducation has the disadvantage of making it more difficult to get
families to attend all therapy sessions, so in general, online
psychoeducation is better because it makes it easier for families to engage
in the therapy process, allowing them to complete all sessions.
Conclusion: Offline psychoeducation has the disadvantage of requiring
family members to attend all therapy sessions, so in general, online
psychoeducation is better.
