Abstract		Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder which affects 1% of the population. Neuroleptics efficiently reduce the frequency of relapses but for various reasons almost on ehalf of patients does not receive all possible benefits that appropriate treatment could offer. Education programs may improve patients' compliance with treatment. The authors review current literature on the importance of education to patients with schizophrenia and present mai education methods, program and topics. Special emphasis is given to group approach (interactive work in small groups), which reduces the social withdrawal of patients and enhances the exchange of experiences among relatives.
Summary		Shizofrenija je kronična duševna motnja, ki prizadane 1% populacije. Nevroleptiki lahko uspešno zmanjšajo število ponovitev in poslabšanj bolezni, vendar skoraj polovica bolnikov iz različnih razlogov ne izkoristi vseh ugodnosti, ki bi jih zdravljenje lahko nudilo. Sodelovanje bolnikov pri zdravljenju je moč izboljšati z izobraževalnimi programi. Avtorji podajajo pregled literature o pomenu edukacije bolnikov s shizofrenijo ter predstavijo glavne metode, programe in vsebine za edukacijo bolnikov in svojcev. Poseben poudarek je na skupinskem pristopu oziroma interaktivnem delu v majhnih skupinah, ki zmanjša socialni umik bolnikov in omogoči izmenjavo izkušenj med svojci.
