Summary

People with schizophrenia are faced with social problems such as repeated hospitalizations, stigma with lack of social skills, unemployment, lack of necessary and adequate health care and education due to lack of adequate care in the community they live in. It is known that psychoeducation practices aimed at developing social skills in schizophrenia give patients new skills and these skills continue for many years. This study aimed to determine the effect of group psychoeducation that focused on social skill development on treatment adaptation, quality of life and well-being in schizophrenia patients and the interaction between these variables over time.
