Abstract

<p>The purpose of this study was to develop a follow-up model of family psycho-education for psychiatric disabilities based on previous research and practices, and to investigate the validity and feasibility of the follow-up model. The follow-up model was developed through a workshop with practitioners of family psycho-education as well as interviews with families whose relatives had mental illnesses. We examined the validity and feasibility of the model by administering a questionnaire to family psycho-education specialists. The model comprised three sections:the first, Process of contact and intervention, which included 16 components, evaluated concrete methods for follow-up; the second, Implementation system, which had three components, evaluated ways of developing an organization and network that were vital for implementing the follow-up; and the third, Principle, which consisted of three components, evaluated an organization’s awareness of follow-up. To a certain degree, this model was confirmed to be valid and feasible. Components with low feasibility were found particularly in self-help groups and support network. Three strategies to enhance feasibility were suggested:implementing effective family psycho-education, sharing awareness of supporting family self-help among practitioners, and developing multi-disciplinary and multi-center support networks.</p>
