Abstract
To evaluate the use of a computer-delivered psycho-education programme which tries to improve patients' knowledge and understanding of psychosis. The study used a qualitative approach to gather opinions from participants (n=10) using semi-structured interviews. The results indicated that patients in forensic psychiatry were able to use the CD-ROM with relative ease. They found it acceptable and enjoyable to use and had little difficulty working through the programme and developing their own relapse prevention plan. The study suggests that patients with psychosis are willing to try new ways to learn about their illness and enjoy learning about a complex and sensitive subject. CD-ROM is a useful way to deliver information on psychosis, which may appeal to the younger patient population, who are more familiar with computer technology.
