Thirty families entered the trial and were randomised to the complete package of family work (16 subjects) or to a control group (14 subjects) receiving education alone. All relatives scored highly on Expressed Emotion (EE) initially. Of the 12 experimental relatives followed up, seven changed to low EE, compared with only two of the 11 control relatives (Fishers exact p=0.053). The relapse rates for the patients over one year were 25% in the experimental group and 36% in the control group, a non-significant difference. However, two other control patients spent the whole year in hospital. The cost of the training and of working with one family was more than covered by the savings in hospital costs. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: clinical trial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
