The effects of family interventions on relatives’ burden: a meta-analysis
Abstract
A meta-analysis is conducted to test the hypothesis that family interventions have a positive effect on the burden of relatives of psychiatric patients. An analysis of the 16 studies that were found, indicate that family interventions can have considerable effects on relatives' burden, psychological distress, the relationship between patient and relative and family functioning. Large effects are found in a subset of six studies. Interventions with more than 12 sessions have larger effects than shorter interventions. Several other success predictors can be hypothesised to be related to outcome.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
