Evaluation of the Psychoeducation Program Given to Behcet's Patients in the Context of the Roy Adaptation Model
Condition: Psychoeducation; Nursing Caries; Behcet Syndrome
MeSH terms: Behcet Syndrome
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      The physical, social and psychological effects of Behcet's disease necessitate the patient's
      adaptation in many areas. This study was conducted to examine the effect of psychoeducation
      given to Behcet's patients in the context of the Roy Adaptation Model on illness adjustment,
      dyadic adjustment, self-esteem, and psychiatric symptoms. The study is a control group
      quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test and follow-up design. The study was
      conducted with 70 Behcet's patients including 35 interventions and 35 controls. The data of
      the study were collected using the "Patient Information Form", " Adaptation to Chronic
      Illness Scale", "Dyadic Adjustment Scale", "Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale" and "Brief Symptom
      Inventory" in pre-test, post-test and follow-up measurements. A 7-session psychoeducation
      program was applied to the intervention group.
    

Detailed description: 
      The research was carried out by using quantitative research methods, quasi-experimental
      (pre-test, post-test, follow-up, control group) research method.The study was conducted with
      patients followed-up in eye, dermatology and rheumatology clinics of 6 state-owned hospitals
      in Ankara, Turkey. The sample size of the study was calculated with the PASS (Power Analysis
      and Sample Size) statistical package program. It was calculated that our study could be
      performed with 5% error and 90% power with 35 interventions and 35 control groups, with 70
      patients in total. Thus, the research was completed with 70 patients, 35 interventions and 35
      control groups.The 7-session psychoeducation program prepared on the basis of the Roy
      Adaptation Model was applied to the intervention group once a week for 90-120 minutes.
      Psychoeducation was conducted in 3 groups of 10-12 people, and make-up sessions were held for
      those who did not attend two consecutive psychoeducation sessions or did not attend two
      sessions in total. The contents of the psychoeducation sessions were created by the
      researcher, based on the Roy Adaptation Model, by examining the relevant literature. After
      the ethics committee report with the permission number GO16 / 229-21 was obtained from the
      Non-Interventional Clinical Research Ethics Committee of Hacettepe University, the
      application permission was obtained from the hospitals where the study will be conducted in
      order to be able to apply the study. Before starting the intervention, the patients were
      informed about the purpose and scope of the study, and written informed consent was obtained
      from the patients who agreed to participate in the study. For the control group, after the
      necessary information was given to the patients, their written informed consent was obtained.
