Abstract: (675 Views)
Background and Objective: The restrictive and chronic nature of schizophrenia affects the quality of life of both patients and their family caregivers. Psychoeducation is one of the key educational approaches used in psychiatric nursing, and given that tele-nursing has emerged as a modern strategy for nursing interventions, this study was conducted to examine the effect of psychoeducation delivered via tele-nursing on the quality of life of family caregivers of patients with schizophrenia.
Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted at Razi Psychiatric Hospital, Tehran, Iran, in 2024. A total of 44 family caregivers of patients with schizophrenia were recruited using a convenience sampling method and non-random allocation, and were assigned to the intervention (n=22) and the control groups (n=22). The intervention group received the intervention via telephone contact and multimedia content, while the control group received the usual follow-up care provided by the healthcare center. Data were collected before, after, and during follow-up using a demographic checklist and a quality of life questionnaire. Analysis was performed using SPSS software (version 25).
Results: No significant differences were found between groups in total score and most quality-of-life domains (P > 0.05). However, improvements in communication with the care team, psychological stress, and daily living were statistically significant over time (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Telenursing-based psychoeducation positively influenced specific aspects of caregiver well-being and can be considered a practical and cost-effective educational strategy.
