Family <strong>in</strong>tervention <strong>for</strong> people with SMI and a diagnosis of schizophrenia and related<br />

disorders<br />

Family <strong>in</strong>tervention vs. other <strong>in</strong>terventions (standard treatment, psycho education, family<br />

support, supportive psychotherapy, etc.)<br />

Relapses<br />

SR (1+)<br />

SR (1+)<br />

RCT (1-)<br />

SR (1-)<br />

Family <strong>in</strong>tervention, compared with other <strong>in</strong>terventions, reduces relapses<br />

dur<strong>in</strong>g treatment (n = 383; RR = 0.57, 95% CI: between 0.37 and 0.88)8,<br />

and 4 to 15 months after f<strong>in</strong>ish<strong>in</strong>g the treatment (n = 305; RR = 0.67; 95%<br />

CI: between 0.52 and 0.88) 8 .<br />

It reduces the relapses after 12 months’ treatment, <strong>in</strong> people who had<br />

relapses dur<strong>in</strong>g the 3 months prior to the <strong>in</strong>tervention (n = 320; RR = 0.55;<br />

95% CI: between 0.31 and 0.97; NNT = 5) 8 .<br />

Dyck et al 79 <strong>in</strong>dicate that family <strong>in</strong>tervention compared with standard<br />

<strong>in</strong>tervention reduces persistent symptoms after 12 months’ treatment (n =<br />

63; RR = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.33 to 0,97; NNT = 5).<br />

Family <strong>in</strong>tervention of less than 5 sessions, or an unknown number of<br />

sessions, significantly reduces relapses (5 RCT; n = 600; RR = 0.41; 95%<br />

CI: between 0.31 and 0.53; NNT = 4) one year after <strong>in</strong>tervention 80 .<br />

The relapse ratios after 2 years were also less <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>tervention group<br />

(n = 225; RR = 0.45; 95% CI: between 0.28 and 0.71; NNT = 5) 80 .<br />

The results after 3 years (n = 326; RR = 0.31; 95% CI: between 0.20<br />

and 0.49; NNT = 4) and after 10 years (n = 196; RR = 0.83, 95% CI: between<br />

0.15 and 0.38; NNT = 2) <strong>in</strong>dicate too that they significantly favoured<br />

family <strong>in</strong>tervention compared with standard <strong>in</strong>tervention 80 .<br />

Readmissions<br />

SR (1-)<br />

Family <strong>in</strong>tervention of more than 5 sessions proves to be more effective <strong>in</strong><br />

reduc<strong>in</strong>g hospitalisations after 18 months follow-up (3 RCT; n= 228; RR =<br />

046; 95% CI: between 0.3 and 0.69; NNT = 4) 80 .<br />

Family <strong>in</strong>tervention, compared with standard <strong>in</strong>tervention, does not<br />

reduce the likelihood of readmission 2 years after hav<strong>in</strong>g f<strong>in</strong>ished the treatment,<br />

(n = 330; RR = 0.01; 95% CI between 0.79 and 1.28) 8 .<br />

Effect of family <strong>in</strong>tervention on users and caregivers<br />

In patients whose family members received a family <strong>in</strong>tervention of more<br />

than 5 sessions, when compared with standard treatment, an improvement<br />

is observed <strong>in</strong> pharmacological treatment adherence (7 RCT, n = 369; RR<br />

= 0.74; 95% CI between: 0.6 and 0.9; NNT = 7) 80 .<br />
