[Patient education in psychiatry: Representations of caregivers, patients and their families].

Introduction: Why do caregivers working in psychiatry seem to wonder about their practices, in front of the recent mediatisation of patient education in France? Do our educational practices meet the needs and the expectations of patients and their families? These questions led us to carry out this qualitative and prospective study concerning the representations of patient education of the main actors in psychiatry.

Objective: This work aims to assess the representations of patient education of the main actors in psychiatry, in particular to assess convergences and divergences.

Methods: This is a qualitative and prospective study.
