Abstract
Psycho-education has an important role for schizophrenic patients to improve their care seeking behavior and insight into illness. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of individual psychoeducational intervention. I conducted an individual psycho-education (1 series including 5 sessions) for six schizophrenic inpatients in psychiatric acute care unit and qualitative analysis the contents of semistructured interview. As a result, 524 cords, 137 sub-categories, 18 categories were extracted. At first, the patients who received psycho-education showed an interest about immediate symptoms. But as session passes they took coping with symptoms and began to be able to image of the life putting into a vision for the discharge. In addition, they make a change their thoughts against symptoms. Overall, it was suggested that adopting individual psycho-education to nursing approach would be available for patients, and it may change their admission experience meaningfully.
