Detailed Description

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

Bipolar disorder is a chronic mental illness characterized by alternating episodes of opposing mood states (mania/hypomania and depression) and euthymic periods. Providing continuous care to individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder can be highly challenging. Considering factors such as medication management, hospital follow-ups, patient behavior during episodes, and their attitudes toward themselves and others, being a primary caregiver is a demanding responsibility. Caregivers may face challenges such as constant caregiving burden, social isolation, burnout, neglecting self-care, and ignoring their own need for help. However, due to their perceived obligation to prioritize the patient, they may find themselves without adequate support.

Psychiatric nurses should approach not only the chronically mentally ill patient but also their caregivers, who are integral parts of the patient's environment, from a holistic perspective. The home environment of the patient, and particularly the attitude of the family and primary caregiver, plays a significant role in the prevention of relapses. From this holistic point of view, psychoeducation programs are expected to increase caregivers' psychological resilience, quality of life, and mindfulness levels, while reducing their caregiving burden. Such outcomes are anticipated to not only benefit the caregiver and the patient but also strengthen the broader society, as they may contribute to the reduction of relapse rates. Consequently, this could positively impact the national economy by decreasing healthcare utilization. Protecting caregivers may also lead to a reduced need for healthcare services directed toward them.

Psychoeducation is one of the core roles of psychiatric nurses. The recognition and expansion of mindfulness-based psychoeducation practices in the field are expected to provide significant support to both patients and their families.
