Brief summary (registry, in English)
This mixed-method study aims to examine the feasibility of delivering tgCBFI programme to dyads of people with schizophrenia and their family caregivers, and generate preliminary evidence on the effectiveness of tgCBFI in reducing expressed emotion. The research questions are as follows. 1. What are the feasibility, acceptability, and safety of conducting a tele-group CBFI programme for people with schizophrenia and their family caregivers? 2. What effect does tgCBFI have on the expressed emotion experienced by adults with schizophrenia and the caregiving experience of their family caregivers at posttreatment and 12-week after completion of the programme? 3. What effect does tgCBFI have on the positive and negative symptoms of adults with schizophrenia and the perceived care burden and level of mood disturbance of their family caregivers at posttreatment, and 12-week after completion of the programme?
