Abstract

Psychoeducation, delivering up-to-date information about mental illness is crucial for supporting patients’ recovery. While recognized for various disorders, its role in borderline personality disorder (BPD) lacks review. This study synthesizes the current evidence about psychoeducational interventions for BPD. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, this scoping review consulted databases (PubMed, PsychINFO, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Información Científica y Técnica en Salud de América Latina y el Caribe), and grey literature (ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global and Google Scholar). A Complementary search (contacting relevant researchers and including relevant references from included articles) was included. Two reviewers screened and extracted the data using the Template for Intervention Description and Replication checklist. Seven studies were analyzed, and positive effects were found on diverse outcomes: BPD symptoms, coping strategies, well-being, communication, quality of life, social functioning, perceived stress, mental health symptoms, and stigma. Psychoeducational interventions for BPD can help people who experience BPD to optimize their recovery process. However, replication and improvements are to yield sustained effects and reach more to this population. © 2025 American Psychological Association
