Mobile based family psychoeducation program
A structured 7week Online Psychoeducation Program delivered via the LINE application. The program was developed based on the Vulnerability Stress Model and aimed to reduce expressed emotion among family caregivers and improve medication adherence in patients with first-episode schizophrenia. The intervention consisted of seven video-based sessions, each lasting no more than 10 minutes, delivered weekly over seven consecutive weeks through a private LINE chat. Content covered program orientation, knowledge about schizophrenia, medication management and adherence, stigma and coping strategies, expressed emotion and family communication, stress management, and early warning signs of relapse.
