We developed a psychological intervention for BD in a primary health care (PHC) setting in Ethiopia using the Medical Research Council\u2019s framework for the Development and Evaluation of Complex Interventions. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity of this newly developed psychological intervention for BD in a PHC setting in south-central Ethiopia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 12 euthymic people with bipolar disorder and five caregivers participated in five 20-min weekly sessions of the psychological intervention. We conducted a mixed-method evaluation, including in-depth qualitative interviews, fidelity ratings of a random selection of 25% of the audio recorded intervention sessions, and self-reported change in symptom severity. We used thematic analysis for qualitative data and descriptive analysis for quantitative data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Except for one caregiver, all participants completed all five sessions. Intervention providers and recipients expressed satisfaction with the intervention. Intervention providers reported that the intervention can be feasibly delivered in the PHC setting, although 20\u00a0min was considered insufficient. While participants acknowledged the importance of involving caregivers in the intervention, they raised privacy concerns. Intervention providers\u2019 adherence to the manual was moderate. Preliminary findings indicate a reduction in depressive symptoms post-intervention and improvement in providers\u2019 perceived knowledge and skills.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This contextually developed psychological intervention for bipolar disorder has promising feasibility, acceptability, and potential utility.
