Objective This study aims to analyze the application effect of the Kolb theory-based education model on car-egivers of individuals with recurrent schizophrenia,specifically examining its impacts on caregiver care burden and psy-chological consistency.Methods A Convenience sampling was used to select a total of 110 caregivers and individuals with recurrent schizophrenia admitted to the Huzhou Third Municipal Hospital from June 2021 to June 2023.They were divided into a control group and an observation group using a random number table method,with 55 cases in each group.The control group received traditional educational guidance methods,while the observation group received an educational model based on the Kolb theory in addition to the traditional methods used in the control group.The study aimed to ana-lyze the levels of caregiver burden,psychological consistency,anxiety,and depression in both groups of patients before and after intervention.Results Following the intervention,the scores and total scores of all dimensions of the caregiver burden inventory(CBI)scale decreased in both groups.However,the total score of the observation group was(37.81±3.92)points,much lower than the control group with(39.73±5.32)points,P<0.05.Moreover,the sense of coher-ence-13(SOC-13)in the observation group was(83.22±2.17)points,which was higher than that of the control group with(78.73±4.52)points,P<0.05.Additionally,the self-rating anxiety and depression scale(SAS,SDS)in the ob-servation group were(42.75±4.82)points and(40.26±4.81)points,respectively,which were significantly lower than those of the control group with(48.99±5.13)points and(46.78±5.30)points,P<0.05.Conclusion The educa-tional model based on Kolb theory can alleviate the care burden,anxiety,and depression of caregivers with recurrent schizophrenia.Additionally,it improves their psychological consistency,and play a positive role in the rehabilitation of recurrent schizophrenia patients.
