A baseline survey collected data on CBS symptom characteristics, the perceived impact of hallucinations (rated on a 5-point Likert scale from very negative to very pleasant) and level of negative affect (negative emotional wellbeing), assessed by the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). Participants then engaged with an educational podcast about CBS over a 3-week period. A follow-up survey assessed changes in emotional wellbeing, attitudes toward hallucinations, and symptom perception.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Fifty-four individuals with CBS (76% female; 70% aged &gt;65\u2009years) received the podcast. After the podcast intervention, 22 participants (41%) reported a less negative impact of CBS on their lives. There was a statistically significant improvement in perceived CBS impact (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.01) and a statistically significant reduction in negative emotional wellbeing (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.02).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The educational podcast intervention was associated with improved emotional wellbeing, reflected in statistically significantly reduced negative affect and a decreased perceived burden of CBS.
