Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the information needs people experiencing BPD, their caregiver and healthcare providers, as identified by participants in a survey and in the pertinent literature, in order to produce input for those designing pychoeducational interventions. Methods: Two main studies are developed in this dissertation: (1) a scoping review following PRISMA guidelinesthat synthesizesthe state of the art on PeI for BPD and (2) a qualitative content analysis of survey answersthat identified five emerging categories of information needs of persons experiencing BPD, their caregivers, and healthcare providers. Results Scoping review: 25 studies were analyzed in the scoping review. The following were mentioned as consequences of psychoeducational intervention: a reduction in BPD symptoms, improved coping strategies, enhanced well-being, better communication skills, increased quality of life, strengthened social functioning, reduced perceived stress, amelioration of mental health symptoms, and a decrease in stigma. Results of content analysis: A total of 116 individuals (BPD live experience, caregivers, and mental health professionals) participated in the survey, and five information needs were identified: 1) expectations regarding diagnosis disclosure and treatment, 2) diagnosis information 3) support beyond treatment, 4) barriers to seeking help, 5) being prepared. Discussion: Specific and novel information needs regarding BPD diagnosis and treatment were identified in each group’s responses and compared with contents addressed in the PeIs for BPD in the scoping review. Recommendation guidelines for future PeIs for BPD were formulated by synthesizing and analyzing insights from Study 1 and Study 2.
