About

This study aimed to determine the effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction training on anger management and functional recovery in patients with schizophrenia. The study will be conducted at a CMHC in Ağrı province between May and August 2021. At the CMHC, community-based mental health services are provided to patients with severe mental disorders (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder) who are in remission as assessed by a psychiatrist. The study is planned to be conducted with patients who meet the study criteria, without using a sample selection method. Patients over the age of 18 registered with CMHC and followed with a diagnosis of schizophrenia were contacted by phone and invited to CMHC. The study was conducted with patients who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate (psychoeducational group, mindfulness group, control group). Data will be collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Form, the State and Trait Anger Inventory, and the SILO. The mindfulness group received 16 sessions of MBRS training, and the psychoeducational group received an 8-session psychoeducational program. The control group received no intervention. The study sample size was calculated using the GPower computer program. Power analysis at α=0.05 yielded an effect size of 150, 153 (d=0.8), and the study had 90% power. Therefore, it was calculated that a minimum of 68 patients should be included in the sample.

Full description

Study data were collected by the researcher through face-to-face interviews. The study included individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia who met the inclusion criteria (registration in a CMHC, having a diagnosis of schizophrenia, willingness to participate in the study, and openness to communication and collaboration). Pre-test measurement instruments were administered to the participants. The mindfulness group then received 16 sessions of MBRS training, and the psychoeducation group received an 8-session psychoeducation program. The control group received no intervention. Post-test data were collected following the training sessions.
