Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale

  Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale consists of 14 items and a single dimension. The scale is five-point Likert type. Scoring of the scale is as follows: 1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = somewhat agree, 4 = agree, 5 = completely agree. All items of the scale are positive and there is no cut-off score. The minimum score from the scale is 14 and the maximum score is 70. High scores from the scale indicate high mental well-being.

• Self-Transcendence Scale

  Self-Transcendence Scale is a unidimensional scale consisting of 15 items. The scale is a four-point Likert type. Scoring of the scale is as follows: 1 = not at all, 2 = very little, 3 = quite a bit, 4 = very much. All items of the scale are positive and there is no cut-off score. A minimum of 15 and a maximum of 60 points are obtained from the scale. Increasing scores from the scale are evaluated as increasing self-transcendence.

  6 months

• Self-reflection and Insight Scale

  The scale consists of 20 items and two factors. These factors are "self-reflection" and "insight"; The "self-reflection" factor has two sub-dimensions: being dependent on self-reflection and needing self-reflection. There are 8 items in the "insight" factor of the scale and 12 items in the "self-reflection" factor. The scale is a six-point Likert type. Scoring of the scale is 1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = partially disagree, 4 = partially agree, 5 = agree, 6 = strongly agree. Items that require reverse scoring are items 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14 and 17. In reverse scoring, a score of "1" becomes "6"; "2" becomes "5"; "3" becomes "4" and vice versa. No scaling or scale conversion is required other than basic reverse scoring. A minimum of 20 and a maximum of 120 points are obtained from the scale.

Interventions

The ST-Facilitation Psychoeducation Program BEHAVIORAL

One of the important roles of the psychiatric nurse, who helps healthy/sick individuals and their families to improve their mental health, prevent and cope with diseases, is their educational role. The psychiatric nurse determines the psychosocial care needs of the patient and his family and plans, implements and evaluates psychoeducational interventions, which are an evidence-based practice, to meet these needs. Psychiatric nurses can benefit from existing programs when developing a psychoeducation program, or they can be advised to create programs that include educational and psychosocial goals based on theory specific to the problems of the relevant population. The theoretical basis is of great importance when planning a psychoeducation program. In this study, the psychoeducation program was based on the Self-Transcendence Theory of Pamela G. Reed, a psychiatric nurse.
