The experimental group patients and their caregivers and their relatives were included in the psychoeducation program application within the framework of the training recommended in the Guide for the Treatment of Patients with Major Depressive Disorder published by APA in 2010.

Interventions

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
to patients before training1 week after admissionDepressive symptoms of the patients will be evaluated with the 'Beck Depression Scale'. The scale was developed in 1961, and its Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted in 1989. The scale, which includes the physical, emotional, cognitive and motivational symptoms seen in depression, aims to objectively determine the degree of depression symptoms. It is stated that as the score obtained from the scale increases, the severity of depression also increases. The subjective recovery processes of the patients will be evaluated with the 'recovery evaluation scale'. Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted in 2017. The scale is a 24-item, 5-point Likert type scale. A high total score obtained from the scale indicates that the improvement is high.
pre-training caregivers1 week after admissionThe 'healing evaluation scale', a scale consisting of 41 items that determines the emotional expression style and level of patient relatives, was developed in 1993. As the scores increase on the scale, which is answered as True (1)-False (0) and is rated between 0-1, the level of emotional expression increases. High scores from the scale are interpreted as a high level of negative reflection of the caregiver's emotional expression, and low scores mean a low level of negative reflection of the caregiver's emotional expression. 'Zarit family burden scale' was developed in 1980, and the Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted in 2009. The scale consists of 22 statements and is a 5-point Likert type scale. High scores from the scale are interpreted as a high burden level of the caregiver, and low scores mean a low burden level.
