Intervention model description: The research was using quasi-experimentally research methods. The research was carried out with 19 patients enrolled in the Community Mental Health Center and 21 outpatients who were monitored in the Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic of a university and who met the inclusion criteria. The data were collected using the Participant Information Form, Medication Adherence Rating Scale, Social Functioning Scale, and World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument Short Form. Treatment compliance training was given to the intervention group (n=19) individually once a week for a total of five sessions. No intervention was applied to the control group (n=21) following the pretest application. Post-tests were applied to the intervention group after the training and follow-up tests were applied to both groups three months after the training.
Primary purpose: TREATMENT
