The effect of communication skills-focused psychoeducation on subjective well-being of caregivers of individuals with schizophrenia: a three-arm randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC psychiatry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05068765 (The Effect of Communication Skills Focused Psychoeducation on Subjective Well-Being of the Caregivers of Individual With the Diagnosis of Schizophrenia), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract
backgroundCaregivers of individuals with schizophrenia face emotional and psychological challenges that affect their subjective well-being (SWB). Despite their vital role, caregiver-focused interventions are limited. Structured programs that promote SWB by strengthening communication and psychosocial skills are needed to support caregivers effectively. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the "Communication Skills-Focused Psychoeducation Program(CSFP)",which was developed to improve the SWB of caregivers of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia.
methodsIt was conducted in an experimental design with randomization, two intervention groups, and one control group, with pre-test, post-test, and follow-up measurements. First, caregivers completed assessments on Subjective Well-Being scale (SWBS), communication skills (CSS), and caregiving burden (ZBI). Afterward, 72 caregivers were randomly assigned to three groups: CSFP, General Psychoeducation (GEP), and control. The CSFP-group received an 8-week, the GEP-group received a 5-week psychoeducation program, and the control group continued routine treatment. The effects of the intervention were evaluated immediately after the intervention and at the 1st and 3rd months of follow-up.
resultsResults showed a statistically significant difference between the pre-intervention and post-intervention SWBS mean scores of CSFP participants, as well as between pre-intervention and follow-up scores. In comparisons between groups, CSFP participants showed significantly higher SWBS mean scores than GEP participants immediately after the intervention, but no significant differences were found in the follow-up stages. Additionally, CSFP participants had significantly higher SWBS mean scores than the control group both post-intervention and at the 3rd month follow-up stage, though no significant difference was found at the 1st month follow-up stage.
conclusionsThese findings show that both interventions are effective in enhancing caregivers' SWB, with CSFP providing longer-lasting effects. Future studies should further examine the effectiveness of these interventions and explore how they can be adapted to different groups. Additionally, integrating CSFP into psychosocial and rehabilitation programs could be beneficial in reducing caregiver burden and improving care outcomes.
