| Functional Recovery Scale in Schizophrenia | 1 day | Functional Recovery Scale: The scale is 5-point Likert-type and consists of 19 items. The maximum score that can be obtained from the scale is 95 and the minimum score is 19. Patients who score below 58 points are considered to have a low level of Functional Recovery, patients who score between 59-65 points are considered to have a moderate level of Functional Recovery, and patients who score 66 points and above are considered to have a high level. |
| Morisky Treatment Adherence Scale | 1 day | Morisky Treatment Adherence Scale: The scale consists of 4 closed-ended questions with two options (yes/no). Medication adherence is assessed as high if no is answered to all questions (4 points), moderate if yes is answered to one or two questions (2-3 points), and low if yes is answered to three or four questions (0-1 pn). |
