Mental Illness Clinical Trial
— PSYSOfficial title:
PsYoungSupport Internet and Communication Technology Based Health Programmes - Information, Education and Support to Young People Close to Persons With Mental Illness
The overall aim with the project PsYoungSupport is to evaluate Internet and communication
technology (ICT) health efforts, i.e. information, education and support for young adults
(16-25 years) who are first degree relatives or represent the close social network (relative
or close friend) of individuals with mental illness, with regard to the process (the quality
and usefulness of the support) and the effect (on health and quality of life, situation as
relative or part of close social network and consumption of other support/care) of the
intervention.
The participatory design is one of the foundations of this project, and young adult
participants will be consulted through out the research project. PsYoungSupport is a
research program comprising three phases, Phase I is a survey of young relatives' and close
friends' needs for internet based information, education and support, Phase II is the
development of a website, and Phase III is an intervention based on the previous phases. The
aim of phase III is to evaluate the effect of an internet based intervention containing
information, education and support for young adults in families where a family member
suffers from mental illness or functional disability. The participants (N=400) will be
randomised to two groups with different kinds of support. The participants will be evaluated
using self-questionnaires and web interviews at the following occasions: baseline at the
start of the intervention, after 4 months and after 8 months. This project will have
implications for persons suffering from mental illness as well as for their relatives and
close friends.

Primary | Decreased change in Burden | Cope Index (McKee, Philp, Lamura et al 2003. The Cope Index measures components such as negative effect of caring, positive values and the quality of support aspects of supporting a relative or close friend. Each question is answered on a 4-point scale with the alternative 'never' ,'sometimes', 'often' and 'always'. Some questions have the alternative of 'not applicable'. All scores are added within each area and high scores indicate a high level of negative effect, positive value and quality of support. | 8 months | No |
