The Family Caregivers of Older People with Schizophrenia Model integrates psychoeducation and support, aiming to alleviate caregiving stress.
Pilot testing showed improved knowledge and stress management among caregivers, with significant reductions in burden scores.
Further validation is vital to determine the model's scalability in resource-limited settings.
