The subjects of the research were the families of inpatients and outpatients with schizophrenia at psychiatry ward of the general hospital in I city.The total number of subjects were 24 members, half of them were experimental group, and the other half were control group. The data were collected from January 18 to March 8 in 2002.We applied the questionnaire method to the data collection and used the measures : Index of Knowledge Scale(Lim & Ahn, 2000) and Family Burden Scale(Kim, et al., 1999). The research procedure was drawn up by using the questionnaire concerning the general characters, patient's characters, knowledge and burden at the beginning of the family education. In this research design, we treated the family education program, which was conducted 8 times within 8weeks and examined the knowledge and burden after intervention. In the case of the control group, the research procedure was equally enacted as on the experimental group except for the family education.The analysis of collected data was done using descriptive statistics including real numbers, percentage, averages, and standard deviations, and Chi-square test, t-test, paired t-test using the SPSS WIN 10.0 program.Results: 1. The examination of the same quality showed that there were not significant differences in the general characters, patient s characters between the experimental group and the control group. The examination of the same quality showed that there were not significant differences in knowledge and burden between the experimental group and the control group.2. The level of knowledge of experimental group which was applied by the family education program is 23.08±2.81, which is higher than the control group, which is 18.17±2.21, and it is significant difference statistically(t=-4.326, p = .000). So, the first hypothesis, that the level of knowledge of experimental group will be significantly higher than that of the control group, was accepted.3. The degree of burden of experimental group which was applied by the family education program is 47.08±18.59, which is lower than the control group, which is 52.00±27,42. and it is significant difference statistically(t = 2.483, p = .029). So the second hypothesis, that the degree of burden of experimental group will be significantly lower than that of the control group, was accepted.Conclusion: The bottom line is a family education program of small group can use as an independent nursing intervention to be easily implemented in clinics to increase knowledge and reduce the burden of schizophrenia patient's family. Therefore the data in this research can suggest that it not only improved quality of life for family but also helped recovery and rehabilitation of patient.

Bibliotherapy for depression included reading, writing, dicussion and various psychosocial interventions such as counselling and emotional support.The Depression Inventory and questions relating to participants' perceptions of the program were administered.Data was analyzed with descriptive statistics, paired t-test and ANOVA. Results: A statistically significant difference was found in the scores between the pre-and post-tests. Subjects who participated in the bibliotherapy program had a significant decrease in their depression level. After treatment, the scores of depression were lower than before(t=3.54, p=0.04). Therefore, it can be suggested that this program had a positive effect on the level of depression.Conclusion: This study indicated that bibliotherapy was effective in decreasing the level of depression. These findings support previous research. However, replication studies using other research designs and subjects are needed for further evaluation. In addition, studies related to continued use of the therapies are needed to determine which interventions have lasting effects on depression. Studies determining the circumstances in which bibliotherapy may be an effective intervention in the treatment of depression are needed. The findings from this study showed that bibliotherapy can be an effective intervention for decreasing depression in adults. It can be used to promote mental health and improve stress coping methods.

To examine the effects of the professional support group, self-efficacy and burden of the family were measured before and after the program. Results: In the experimental group, there was no significant change in self-efficacy after the program (Z=-.059, p=.953). The scores of burden increased after the program but did not significantly change (Z=-l .572, p=.l 16). In the control group, there was no significant change on self-efficacy after the intervention period (Z=-.339, p=.735). The scores of burden increased after the program but did not significantly change (Z=-.722, p=.440).
