Background: Despite robust evidence of the huge burden of caregiving amongst caregivers of patients with schizophrenia, there is a paucity of data in Africa on the interventions to address this enormous burden of caregiving.
Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of structured psychoeducation intervention on the burden of caregiving in comparison with 'care as usual' in a Nigerian Psychiatric Hospital.
Setting: This study was done at the out-patient and in-patient units of the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Enugu, Nigeria.
