Clinical Trial 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.
Description:
Mental illnesses cause deterioration in various areas of functionality such as personal care,
family and social relations, communication, professional life, and leisure activities. Mental
diseases that cause disability are common in society. Mental disorders such as depression,
schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder are among the diseases that
cause loss of ability.
Rehabilitation services are important in order to support the adaptation of chronic mental
patients to treatment outside the institution and to maintain their role in society.
Self-sufficiency is one of the important issues to be addressed in chronic diseases that
cause disability. Self-sufficiency refers to the individual's perception of the ability to
successfully perform a certain action, the ability to control events, and the potential to
accomplish a certain job. Individuals with high self-sufficiency set more difficult goals for
themselves and make more efforts to achieve their goals. Since self-esteem is affected in
mental disorders, self-sufficiency may be low.
High self-sufficiency leads to an increase in well-being. It is very important for
psychological well-being for the individual to realize their potential and live a happy life.
In recent years, attention has been paid to the well-being of individuals with mental
disorders. Research has found that high well-being reduces disease recurrences. Some studies
have also found that well-being is associated with having a depressive mood and an inability
to cope with stress.
In psychological or physical diseases, educational intervention programs structured to teach
people about their diseases and their emotional responses to the disease, to develop coping
skills, to adapt to the disease, and to cooperate with treatment are defined as
psychoeducation . The purpose of interventions is to teach individuals how to cope with their
problems by creating knowledge and behavior changes, to help the patient to understand their
own situation, to improve self-care activities, to prevent complications, to increase
well-being and quality of life.
Studies in the literature conducted with different groups reveal that psychoeducation
increases psychological resilience and supports coping with stress and feeling good. There
are studies examining the effectiveness of psychoeducation from different aspects given to
psychiatric patients. However, there is no study examining the effect of psychoeducation to
evaluate the well-being and self-sufficiency of individuals who are in the rehabilitation
phase and receive psychiatric treatment. The findings to be obtained as a result of the study
will make a significant contribution to the psychiatric care and monitoring provided in day
hospitals and rehabilitation centers and will create a database for new studies.
Purpose and hypotheses of the study This study was carried out to determine the effect of
psychoeducation given in psychiatric day hospitals on the self-sufficiency and well-being of
patients.
H1 Psychoeducation given in the psychiatric day hospital increases the self-sufficiency of
the patients.
H2 Psychoeducation given in the psychiatric day hospital improves the well-being of the
patients.
