This trial is testing a special teaching program called PEPITS that nurses deliver to people who have just been hospitalized with schizophrenia or a related condition. The program teaches you about your illness and why medication matters, with the goal of helping you take your medicine as prescribed, understand your condition better, and avoid going back to the hospital.
Many people with schizophrenia stop taking their medication or don't fully understand their illness, which leads to symptoms getting worse and needing to return to the hospital. This trial exists to see whether helping people learn about their condition early—while they're already in the hospital—can prevent relapses and improve their quality of life.

If you join this trial, you would be randomly assigned to either receive the new teaching program (delivered by nurses during your hospital stay) or receive the standard hospital care. The program involves learning about schizophrenia, your medications, and strategies to stay well. Researchers will then follow up with you to see how you're doing, whether you're taking your medication, and whether you've been able to avoid returning to the hospital.
