Summary
This mixed-method study comprises a RCT with a twelve-week post-intervention follow-up and focus group interviews. The RCT study aims to examine the effectiveness of delivering the tgCBFI programme to dyads of people with schizophrenia and their family caregivers, while the focus group interviews aim to qualitatively study the benefits of the tgCBFI programme from the service users and their family caregivers to provide a more in-depth understanding and complement the quantitative data. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does this online tgCBFI programme reduce the expressed emotion experienced and positive and negative symptoms of individuals with schizophrenia? Does this online tgCBFI programme reduce the perceived care burden and level of mood disturbances of family caregivers?
