Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study was conducted to explore the effect on social functionality of the psychoeducation program organized to guide individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia to identifying and recognize emotions in facial expressions. half of participants were assessed the psychoeducation program. other half of participants were used only measurement tests.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The difficulties those diagnosed with schizophrenia have with facial identification and identifying emotions are closely associated with the adverse symptoms of the illness. Those diagnosed with schizophrenia need to be helped in forming interpersonal relations so that they can gain the skills needed to live in society.

ın this study the investigators prepared a psychoeducation program for individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia. The program titled, "Psychoeducation Program for Emotion Identification and Expression in Those Diagnosed with Schizophrenia" was conducted with the patients in the intervention groups once a week for ten weeks. On the other hand there were a control group which weren't be applied any intervention. The investigators applied some tests to intervention and control group three times ( before intervention, after intervention and three months after intervention). This study was conducted at three Community Mental Health Centers (CMHC's). The patients who met the study inclusion criterias were determined in these centers. Randomized psychoeducation and control groups were formed from these patients.
