The experimental group participated in the peer support group program while the control group received routine caring activities. The research instruments were the following: 1) a personal data questionnaire; 2) the peer support group program; and 3) an ability psychosocial rehabilitation skills scale. The peer support group program was validated for content validity by 3 professional experts and the mental health self-care scale, with a Cronbach alpha coefficient reliability of .92. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, dependent t-test, and independent t-test. The findings were as follows:1) the mean score of psychosocial rehabilitation abilities of the schizophrenic patients caregivers after participating in the peer support group program (M = 84.47, SD = 11.01) was statistically significant higher than before participating in the program (M = 35.13, SD = 10.275) (p<.001). 2) The mean difference between pre-post psychosocial rehabilitation abilities scores for the schizophrenic patients’ primary caregivers that participated in the peer support group program ( = 49.34, SD = 11.013) was significantly greater than that for the primary caregivers that received regular caring activities
( = 7.1, SD = 7.352) (p<.001).
