A pilot study in Edmonton, Canada evaluated a psychoeducational group intervention for family carers of young adults with psychosis. The dataset contains longitudinal burden scores from 13 participants measured at five time points over 24 months. The research was authored by Roxoliana Tsisar and published on figshare in 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze longitudinal trends in carer burden based on repeated Family Burden Interview Schedule (FBIS) scores
• Evaluate intervention effects on family interaction burden subscale based on pre-post and follow-up comparisons
• Assess statistical power and sample size requirements for future studies based on the pilot data from 13 participants

Strengths

• Longitudinal design with data collected at five time points over 24 months
• Uses a validated instrument, the Family Burden Interview Schedule (FBIS)
• Intervention was co-developed and co-facilitated by healthcare professionals and individuals with lived experience

Limitations

• Small sample size of 13 participants limits statistical power and generalizability
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
