Video-based orientation program

The intervention group will receive a structured video-based orientation program developed for first-degree relatives of psychiatric inpatients. The program consists of four sessions (each 45-60 minutes) delivered over one week by psychiatric nurses. Topics include an introduction to the psychiatric unit, understanding stigma, basic information on mental illnesses, and strategies for coping with stigma. Educational videos support learning and discussion. Unlike the control group, this intervention emphasizes stigma awareness and emotional support. Pre- and post-tests are used to assess perceived stress and stigma.
