La esquizofrenia es una enfermedad mental grave, de curso crónico y deteriorante. Se asocia a discapacidad considerable, afectando el desempeño educativo, familiar y laboral. Con la reforma psiquiátrica, la familia se hizo cargo de sus pacientes, que dada la severidad, supuso un replanteamiento de sus necesidades y un desafío para Enfermería. El objetivo es conocer las necesidades de los familiares responsables de un hospital público de Santiago. La metodología es cualitativa, diseño estudio de caso. Se entrevistó a familiares responsables y profesionales que los atienden, cautelando requisitos éticos y firmando consentimiento informado. Los resultados muestran que las necesidades se relacionan con apoyo profesional, emocional e informacional. Se propone abordaje a través de la psicoeducación, herramienta clave de intervención familiar a utilizar en todos los niveles de atención de la Red de Salud Mental.
