본 연구 결과를 통해 부산백병원 정신건강의학과에서 시행하고 있는 단기 가족교육 프로그램이 조현병 환자 가족의지식을 높일 뿐 아니라 불안감과 우울감을 감소시키는 데 효과적이라는 것을 증명하였다. 향후 단기 가족교육 프로그램의 참여율을 높이면서 많은 가족의 지속적인 참여를 유도할수 있도록 보완하는 것이 필요할 것으로 보인다. Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate continuously on how a short-term family psychoeducation program for schizophrenia would change the emotional stress and the knowledge of the family members. Methods : Subjects were the family members who participated in the short-term family psychoeducation program for schizophrenia. The participants were asked to fill out self-reporting forms for 3 times-before commencing the 6-week family education, immediately after completing the program, and 3 months after completing the program respectively. Results : A total of 46 subjects participated, and 20 of them responded to all questionnaires. Three months after the completion of psychoeducation, depression and anxiety subscale score among the General Health Questionnaire-28 decreased by 2.60 (p=0.04) and 2.20 (p=0.04) respectively. In caregiver burden criterion, the score decreased by 9.45 (p=0.04) in 3 months after completing the education. In knowledge about schizophrenia test, the score increased by 2.60 score (p＜0.001), and this result was maintained after 3 months. Conclusion : It was found that a short-term family education program for schizophrenia was effective not only in improving the knowledge on the disease but also in reducing anxiety and depression, and this effect was maintained immediately after the psychoeducation and so was it as time passed as well.
