Summary

Schizophrenia is an inherited, complex, multidimensional syndrome with varying degrees of psychotic, negative, cognitive, mood and motor symptoms. Schizophrenia is a serious public health problem that causes significant losses in the lives of individuals due to both its occurrence at a young age and its prevalence. Ranked by the World Health Organization as one of the top ten diseases contributing to the global burden of disease, it is among the most disabling and economically disastrous medical disorders. The boundaries of schizophrenia remain unclear, indicating a lack of categorical cohesion and the need to reconceptualize it as a broader, multidimensional and/or spectrum construct.

With the discovery of antipsychotic drugs, the symptoms of the disease were alleviated, the level of severity decreased and the length of hospitalization was shortened. However, this led to repeated hospitalizations of patients with chronic course and a revolving door effect occurred. Drug treatment has a limited effect on readjustment to society, improving social relations and increasing self-care activities in individuals with chronic mental illness. Therefore, it is important to support drug treatment with social support programs and various psychosocial approaches. In the past, pathogenic approaches focusing on problems and risk factors have been adopted to promote and maintain health. The salutogenic model developed by medical sociologist Aaron Antonovsky (1987) focuses on the causes of health rather than the factors that cause disease. This model is concerned with the relationship between how people approach stressful situations (such as mental and chronic health conditions and their consequences) and their individual ability to self-manage and cope with these situations. The model is a medical approach that focuses on the causes of health rather than the factors that cause disease.

This study was planned to evaluate the effect of salutogenic approach-based interviewing on subjective recovery and quality of life in individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia.
