First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at how caregivers' beliefs and attitudes might help or get in the way of teaching patients with schizophrenia to manage their own health. Researchers interviewed 21 medical and paramedical staff in France, both those who had given such education and those who had not. The goal was to understand what makes it easier or harder to put these programs into practice.
