| Abstract: | Introduction: It is known that individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia experience communication difficulties and become isolated as a result, which negatively affects their psychological well‐being. Aim: This study aimed to determine the effects of psychoeducation given to individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia on interpersonal relationships, loneliness, and psychological well‐being. Method: The study was conducted with individuals registered in a Schizophrenia Relatives Association between July 2024 and April 2025. The study was conducted using a pretest–posttest control group randomized controlled experimental study design. A total of 40 patients (20 in the training group and 20 in the control group) were included in the study. Research data were collected using a questionnaire, the Interpersonal Competence Scale, the De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale, and the Psychological Well‐Being Scale. Results: Participants in the training group scored significantly higher than those in the control group on the Interpersonal Competence Scale and the Psychological Well‐Being Scale, while their scores on the De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale were significantly lower (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the training group showed significant improvements in their scores on all three scales compared to their pretraining levels. Implications for Practice: This study emphasizes the need for interventions by nurses to improve the communication skills of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
