dc.description.abstractThe role of family members is very important to reduce the readmission of mental health care users to psychiatric institutions. The reason for this is that they are always with the patient and can easily identify the early signs of relapse. This could be achieved if they are well equipped with information on the management of the patient after being discharged from the hospital. The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge of relatives and their needs regarding the management of discharged mental health care users so as to prevent readmission. A quantitative design in the form of self-administered questionnaires was used to collect data from the adult relatives of mental health care users who had been discharged from the Cecilia Makiwane hospital and were continuing with treatment from the Mdantsane clinics.
