Intervention model description: The sample group was determined as 48 in total, 24 intervention and 24 control. Individuals were assigned to the intervention and control groups using the simple randomization method. The program was asked to randomly divide the files into two groups of 24 people each. The researcher randomly determined these two groups as the intervention (Set 1) and control (Set 2) groups. The 24 individuals constituting the intervention group were assigned to 3 separate groups of 8 people each (Group 1, Group 2, Group 3) using the block randomization method. In addition to their routine treatments, the intervention group received one session of psychosocial skills training per week. The control group continued their routine treatments.
