Evaluate the primary caregiver’s change in knowledge about care for schizophrenic patients at home after educational intervention. Method Educational intervention with before and after comparison of over 70 primary caregivers at the Mental Hospital in Nam Dinh province on knowledge of caring for schizophrenic patients at home with a set of questions prepared in advance at 3 times Before intervention intervention, 1 day after intervention and 1 month after intervention. Results Before the intervention, the average score of general knowledge about caring for schizophrenia patients at home was 5.33 ± 1.13 points (on a scale of 10). After one day intervention, the average score of general knowledge was 9.29 ± 0.48 points (up 3.96 points). After the intervention 1 month, the average score of general knowledge decreased but remained high at 8.73 ± 0.48 (increasing 3.4 points compared to before the intervention). The difference is statistically significant with p <0.001. Conclusion Primary caregiver’s knowledge about caring for schizophrenic patients at home before the intervention is still limited, but it has improved significantly after the intervention.
