Key Points

The study aims to evaluate the feasibility of a culturally sensitive psychiatric social work intervention to reduce expressed emotion among caregivers of persons with schizophrenia in India.
Ten caregivers of inpatients with schizophrenia participated in the study.
MINI 6.0 was used for screening, and family emotional involvement was assessed with a standardized scale.
A 10-session intervention package was delivered over 10 days to the caregivers.
Post-assessment showed a significant decrease in expressed emotion scores (M=29.60, SD=2.9) compared to pre-assessment scores (M=50.0, SD=1.9), with a p-value of 0.000.
Average family income was M=3200 (SD=1.98), with the average onset of illness at M=26.0 (SD=6.56) and duration of caregiving at M=2.3 years (SD=1.56).
