Brief Summary

Background: Psychoeducation is a process used in the realization of the principles of treatment and rehabilitation of mental illnesses and aims to help the patient and his/her family outside the hospital, to help the patient cope with the problems, experiencing, and to support them to live productive lives in society. Aims: This study aims to determine the effect of psychoeducation, given in a psychiatry dayhospital, on patients' self-sufficiency and well-being. Methods: The research is a single-blind randomized controlled experimental study. The sample of the study consisted of 28 schizophrenic patient(14experiment-14control), who agreed to participate in the study, followed in XXX University Psychiatry Day Hospital. In the study, an 8-week psychoeducation program was applied to the experimental group, and no intervention was made tothe control group. Socio-demographic data form, self-sufficiency scale, and well-being scale were used as data collection tools. The data obtained were analyzed using theSPSS-23 package program. Results: After the eight-week psychoeducation program, the pretest and posttest scores of the evaluations obtained from the scales of both groups were compared. It was found that while there was no change in thescores of the control group, there was an increase in the well-being and self-efficacy scores of the experimental group. While the increase in well-being was statistically significant(p\<0.05), the increase in self-sufficiency score wasnot statistically significant(p\>0.05), but the numerical increase was considered tobe aclinically significant result.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Socio-demographic Data Form

  The form prepared by the researchers using the literature contains questions about the health status and the sociodemographic characteristics of individuals diagnosed with psychiatric diseases, such as age, gender, marital status, and educational status.

  pre-intervention

• General Self-Sufficiency Scale

  The Turkish adaptation of the scale developed by Sherer et al. (1982) was carried out by Yıldırım \& İlhan (2010). The scale with a 5-point Likert structure consists of 17 items. Items 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16 and 17 are scored in reverse. The total score that can be obtained varies between 17 and 85, and the increase in the score indicates increased self-sufficiency belief. The scale was applied by Yıldırım \& İlhan (2010) to 895 people aged 18 and over with at least five years of education. In the reliability study, the internal consistency coefficient was calculated as α = .80 for the whole scale and between .78 and .81 for each subscale.

  pre-intervention

• Well-being Scale

  The Turkish adaptation study of the Well-Being Scale developed by Diener et al. (2009) was carried out by Fidan and Usta (2013). The scale has a 7-point Likert structure. The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 56, and the lowest score is 8. There are no reverse-scored items on the scale. High scores from the scale indicate that the relevant individual has a high level of well-being. The reliability study of the scale was conducted by Fidan and Usta (2013) on a total of 385 high school 4th-grade students, 166 (43%) female and 219 (57%) male. The Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient of the Well-Being Scale was reported as .83.

Interventions

Psychoeducation OTHER

Psychoeducation sessions were conducted by two psychiatric nurses (İK, SS) who are experts in their fields and have psychoeducation and group leadership certificates. Each session was held once a week in 30-45 minutes sessions. The training was carried out interactively; approximately the first 5 minutes were spent on warm-up, the basic information of that day's session was given for 25 minutes, and the last 10 minutes were in the form of questions and answers. Two separate groups were formed according to the day hospital program of the patients, and the psychoeducation program was carried out in two separate groups to conduct psychoeducation effectively.

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: SINGLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT
• Masking Details: In the envelope method, 15 envelopes with '1' symbolizing the intervention group and 15 envelopes with '2' symbolizing the control group were found in the box. All individuals pulled envelopes out of the box, and the envelope was not put in the box again. During the psychoeducation process, one patient from the experimental group did not want to continue the training, and one patient from the control group was hospitalized; two patients were excluded from the sample.The pretest evaluation was made in the first interview with the individuals included in the sample. Posttest evaluation was made at the end of the intervention to the individuals in the intervention group. No intervention was applied to the control group in this process. Posttest evaluation was made at the end of the 8th week following the pretest evaluation to the control group. After all evaluations were completed, a single-session informative training was given to the control group.
