Overview

Evaluation shows an increase in caregiving burden in family members of patients with severe personality disorder, indicating a need for ongoing support.

Key Points

  • Results indicate an increase in caregiver burden despite participant satisfaction with the intervention.
  • Caregiving burden scores rose, suggesting challenges remain for family members managing severe personality disorders.
  • Participants reported high initial psychological distress but found the psycho-educational program important and helpful.
  • Qualitative feedback emphasized a preference for sessions focused on validation skills and coping strategies.
