Methods A semi-structured questionnaire was used to obtain the required data from caregivers accompanying the schizophrenia patients. Convenient samples of 50 caregivers were selected. Most of the caregivers (30 %) had no prior knowledge about schizophrenia. The fathers (24 %) and relatives (24 %) were the major caregivers for the patients. Caregivers considered medical intervention to be the most important; but they also advocated supportive interventions such as counseling and family support.
