The Effect of Psychoeducation on Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors in Individuals With Schizophrenia

Healthy lifestyle behaviours psychoeducation programme, based on the Transtheoretical Model, with 6 sessions (healthcare responsibility, nutrition, physical activity, spiritual development, interpersonal relationships, stress management) was applied to the intervention group for 6 weeks as three days in the weekdays and two sessions in a day. Psychoeducation was carried out by the researcher on the same day but within different time zones. Each psychoeducation session took 90-120 minutes with the breaks taken considering the participants' mood. After completing six sessions, the behavioural change identification form and Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale II were applied to the intervention group again.
