Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a communication skills-focused psychoeducation program on the subjective well-being of primary caregivers of individuals with schizophrenia.

Today, with the adoption of contemporary treatment models, the relatives of individuals with schizophrenia have become caregivers. Some caregivers who are not competent enough to communicate satisfactorily with a person diagnosed with schizophrenia may have problems in patient-patient-relative interaction. Problems that occur frequently in expressing oneself, giving appropriate reactions in interaction with the patient and creating a sense of trust are seen as a major source of concern by caregivers. In the solution of this problem, improving the communication skills of the caregiver and increasing the self-confidence and motivation to communicate with the individual diagnosed with schizophrenia is an area that should be addressed by mental health professionals.

By using a communication skills focused psychoeducation program, it is aimed to increase the level of subjective well-being of caregivers of individuals with schizophrenia by establishing healthy and positive relationships, coping with the negative emotions and difficulties they face, realizing their strengths, and leading a happy and meaningful life. Within the scope of this aim, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of a communication skills focused psychoeducation program on the subjective well-being of caregivers of individuals with schizophrenia.
