Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study evaluated 64 individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia. 57 individuals with schizophrenia who completed the assessment and met the inclusion/exclusion criteria were included. These 57 individuals were given a number on the computer and then randomization was performed on the computer, and 29 participants were included in the VR group and 28 in the control group. During the intervention process, two individuals in each group who could not participate regularly were excluded from the study and the study was completed with 53 participants. The randomization process was carried out by a researcher who was independent of the study and did not know the assessment and intervention process.
Measurement Sociodemographic information of the participants, such as age, gender, marital status, education and employment status, was collected. After the sociodemographic data were collected, the Motor-Free Visual Perception Test-3rd Edition (MVPT-3) was used to evaluate the visual perceptions of the participants before and after the interventions.
Interventions Virtual reality intervention procedure The VR intervention program was carried out in a 30-meter2 area covered with soft ground to prevent injuries. "The Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360" was used for the VR intervention. For the current study, a team of experts was formed to select the games to be used within the VR intervention program. This team determined which skills were required for the games to be run successfully, which skills could be developed, which games were purposeful, and independently observed each game. As a result, 9 different games were chosen. The VR intervention procedure was created by utilizing the literature.
Client-centered intervention procedure
The client-centered (CC) intervention procedure for individuals with schizophrenia was created using literature. This intervention procedure consists of 6 steps. These steps are:
1. Active Communication and Evaluation
2. Daily Routine, Roles, and Occupational Performance
3. Strengths and Barriers
4. Intervention Program Development
5. Implementation of the intervention program
6. Feedback and Revision In addition, studies have been conducted on both visual perception and social skills with personalized targeted tasks. In order to develop visual perception, interventions were made to the participants to develop the parameters of visual perception skills such as visual memory, visual closure, shape-ground perception, visual discrimination, visual completion, spatial orientation, etc., which are sub-parameters of visual perception skills. In addition, studies have been conducted to develop social skills, especially basic social skills such as "listening to others, making requests, expressing positive emotions and expressing unpleasant emotions".
Statistically analysis Data were analyzed with SPSS version 29.0 statistical software package program. The normality of the data was analyzed by using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Nonparametric tests were used because the data did not show a normal distribution. Differences between groups were analyzed with chi-square test for nominal data. Comparisons between the groups were conducted by using the Mann-Whitney U test. Pre- to post-intervention changes within the groups were analyzed with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Significance was evaluated at levels of 0.05. Effect size was calculated by using the means and standard deviations of the groups. Effect size benchmarks were determined as \<0.30, 0.30-0.80, and \>0.80 and considered small, moderate, and strong, respectively.

Study Groups

Virtual reality group
The intervention procedure was planned to consist of 8 weeks, 3 days a week and 45-minute sessions in total.
In this intervention group, a virtual reality intervention was applied in addition to the client-centered intervention applied to both groups.
Virtual reality
The virtual reality intervention program was carried out in a 30-meter2 area covered with soft ground to prevent injuries. "The Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360" was used for the virtual reality intervention. For the current study, a team of experts was formed to select the games to be used within the virtual reality intervention program. This team determined which skills were required for the games to be run successfully, which skills could be developed, which games were purposeful, and independently observed each game. As a result, 9 different games were chosen. Since all games involve similarly intense visual, cognitive and motor skill requirements, game selection was left to the participants' preference during the intervention process to encourage motivation and participation. The virtual reality intervention procedure was created by utilizing the literature
