Results: After the eight-week psychoeducation program, the pretest and posttest scores of the evaluations obtained from the scales of both groups were compared. It was found that while there was no change in thescores of the control group, there was an increase in the well-being and self-efficacy scores of the experimental group. While the increase in well-being was statistically significant(p\<0.05), the increase in self-sufficiency score wasnot statistically significant(p\>0.05), but the numerical increase was considered tobe aclinically significant result.
