Making and using video-tape for family psychoeducation

1.家庭干预是预防复发、改善患者心理/社会状况、促进亲属心理健康的最有效的心理社会方案之一。教育会议中的视觉演示，如图形和表格，对于帮助亲属了解复杂的疾病病理生理学和治疗机制是必不可少的。2.在为日本用户制作了5卷录像带之后，我们在2002财政年度将前3卷翻译成了英文。这些视频的标题分别是“精神分裂症的症状”、“精神分裂症的原因”和“药物治疗”。“在收到参加世界心理卫生联合会西太平洋地区会议（WFMH，东京，2002年10月10日）和世界心理卫生联合会世界大会（墨尔本，2003年2月23日）的心理卫生专业人员的一些反馈后，我们将它们提供给亚洲国家的大约40个机构。到目前为止，我们收到了一些积极的反馈。一些机构将其用作教育工具。我们收到的典型评论是“磁带使精神分裂症变得容易理解”，“外行人和公共卫生工作者可以通过观看这些磁带了解更多，以帮助他们照顾/支持家庭成员和客户”（菲律宾大学）。这些录像带再次提供给邻国的机构，以探讨是否有可能就家庭干预在预防复发和促进患者及家庭心理健康方面的作用进行合作/比较研究。直至目前为止，我们收到的意见是：“录音带是教育服务使用者及其家人，以及培训员工的有用工具。”4.我们希望在亚洲国家开展有效的家庭干预合作研究。

1.Family intervention is one of the most effective psychosocial programs for preventing patients from relapse, improving their psychological/social conditions, and promoting relatives' mental health. Visual presentation in educational sessions like figures and tables are indispensable to help relatives understand complex pathophysiology of disorders and mechanism of treatment. Further, it is more desirable for the educational aids to be developed locally.2.After making five volumes of video tapes for Japanese users, we translated the first three volumes into English in the fiscal year of 2002. The titles of the videos were 'Symptoms of schizophrenia', 'Causes of schizophrenia', and 'Drug treatment.' After receiving some feedbacks from mental health professionals attending at a regional meeting of Western Pacific Region of World Federation for Mental Health(WFMH, Tokyo, Oct 10,2002) and World Congress of WFMH(Melbourne, Feb 23,2003), we supplied them to approximately forty institutions in Asian countries. So far, we received some positive feedbacks. Some institutes use them as an educational tool. The typical comments we received were 'Tapes made it easy to understand schizophrenia', 'Lay people and public health workers can learn more watching tapes like these to help them in their care/support of family members and clients'(University of the Philippines).3.In the fiscal year of 2003, we translated the first three volumes into Chinese. Again, these tapes were offered to the institutions of neighboring countries to explore the possibility of establishing collaborative/comparative research on the role of family intervention in preventing relapse and promoting mental health both of patients and families. So far, we received a comment such as 'the tapes are useful tools for education the service users and their families as well as for staff training purpose.'4.We hope to start a collaborative research on the effective family intervention in Asian countries.
