Family <strong>in</strong>tervention vs. other psychosocial <strong>in</strong>terventions<br />

There are no differences <strong>in</strong> the recovery ratios between systemic family<br />

therapy focused on problem-solv<strong>in</strong>g and multi-family psychoeducational<br />

group therapy at the end of the study (28 months) <strong>in</strong> all the people (n = 63;<br />

RR=1.72; 95% CI: between 0.91 and 3.25) or <strong>in</strong> people with mania (n = 47;<br />

RR = 1.57; IC between 0.67 and 3.68) 100 .<br />

RCT (1-)<br />

Summary of evidence<br />

People with SMI and a diagnosis of schizophrenia and related disorders<br />

1+ Family <strong>in</strong>tervention <strong>in</strong> people with schizophrenia reduces relapses 8 .<br />

1- Family <strong>in</strong>tervention reduces persistent symptoms after 12 months’ treatment 79 .<br />

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

one year’s treatment, after 1, 3 and 10 years’ follow-up 80 .<br />

Family <strong>in</strong>tervention of more than 5 sessions reduces hospitalisations after 18 months’<br />

follow-up 80 .<br />

There are no differences between family <strong>in</strong>tervention and standard <strong>in</strong>tervention <strong>in</strong> the<br />

reduction of hospital readmissions 2 years after f<strong>in</strong>ish<strong>in</strong>g the treatment 8 .<br />

There is better compliance with the pharmacological treatment when the family <strong>in</strong>tervention<br />

is more than 5 sessions 80 .<br />

Family <strong>in</strong>tervention of more than 5 sessions represents a significant reduction of the burden<br />

perceived by family carers. 81,82<br />

Family <strong>in</strong>tervention of more than 5 sessions reduces the expressed emotion levels with<strong>in</strong><br />

There are no differences that determ<strong>in</strong>e that family <strong>in</strong>tervention reduces negative symptom<br />

levels of people with schizophrenia 79 or improves social function<strong>in</strong>g 78,79 .<br />

The evidence found is not sufficient to determ<strong>in</strong>e if family <strong>in</strong>tervention reduces suicide<br />

rates 80 .<br />

Family <strong>in</strong>tervention of 6 months or more, or more than 10 scheduled sessions, reduces<br />

relapses at 4 to 15 months’ follow-up after treatment.<br />

There are no differences between multi-family <strong>in</strong>tervention and s<strong>in</strong>gle-family <strong>in</strong>tervention<br />

<strong>in</strong> connection with relapses at 13 to 24 months 8 .<br />

There are no differences between multi-family <strong>in</strong>tervention and s<strong>in</strong>gle-family <strong>in</strong>tervention<br />

related to pharmacological treatment adherence 84 .<br />

People with schizophrenia who received s<strong>in</strong>gle-family <strong>in</strong>tervention compared with those<br />

who received multi-family <strong>in</strong>tervention, can lead a more <strong>in</strong>dependent life 85 .<br />

Individual family therapy with a behavioural approach improves the results of social<br />

function<strong>in</strong>g, doses of antipsychotic medication and psychotic symptoms compared with<br />

group family therapy 88 .<br />
