Abstract
There has been a worldwide paradigm shift for community care in Psychiatric treatment, and it has been successfully implemented in many developing countries, including Thailand. This qualitative study aimed to explore the care of patients with schizophrenia in the rural areas of Northeastern Thailand based on the community context. Eighty-three informants were interviewed and group discussions were conducted. Five themes were identified from the caregivers' perspectives, which reflected the practices of the caregiving for patients with schizophrenia within the community as follows: (1) care assistance, (2) care services, (3) strengthening, (4) potential development, and (5) welfare and other services. This study highlights the importance of developing and implementing community-based care for patients with schizophrenia within the community.
