| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Auditory hallucinations impact all schizophrenic patients’ functioning and their overall quality of life. Self-management categories alleviate distress related to auditory hallucinations. Aim: To explore the effect of an educational program about auditory hallucination self-control on quality of life among schizophrenic patients. Subjects and Method: Design: A quasi-experimental design was employed. Setting: The study was carried out in the inpatient departments of Port Said Psychiatric Health and Addiction Treatment Hospital and Demira Mental Health Hospital. Subjects: Comprised a sample of 60 hospitalized schizophrenic patients. Tools: Encompassing Phenomenology of Auditory Hallucinations Scale, Self-Management of Auditory Hallucinations Structured Interview Schedule, plus WHO Quality of Life Scale, as well as the Personal and Clinical Data Sheet. Results: More than half (55.0%) of the studied patients reported that the total self-management categories were partially successful to control auditory hallucinations pre-program compared to three quarters (75.0%) post-program and more than three quarters (80.0%) follow-up the program implementation. Above three quarters of them had a high level of overall quality of life (78.3% and 81.7%) pre and post program respectively, compared to the majority (85.0%) follow-up the program. Conclusion: A statistically significant positive correlation was established between mean scores of physiological categories and quality of life post program. Moreover, a statistically significant positive correlation was found between mean scores of cognitive categories and quality of life pre program. Recommendations: Designing and applying educational programs for schizophrenic patients regarding effective auditory hallucinations self-control categories to develop capabilities to control auditory hallucinations efficiently and promote quality of life. | ||||
