| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Self-impairments are usually reported in patients with schizophrenia. Medical care for patients with such impairments may last a long time, and such patients may have difficulty recovering their normal daily living. Therefore, educational intervention was developed to restore their self-concept. This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational program on self-concept and symptoms of schizophrenic patients. Methods: Fifty patients with schizophrenia, diagnosed according to the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, were recruited. The patients received a psychoeducation program for one month. The assessment included the following: socioeconomic assessment scale, the Offer Self-Image Questionnaire, and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). The patients were assessed twice: before and after the administration of the psycho-education program. Results: A significant difference in the total and subscales of self-concept, except for sexual self was observed post program intervention. Moreover, significant differences in the total and subscales of the PANSS, except for the mannerism and posturing, depression, motor retardation, and total general psychopathology subscales, were observed after the program compared to before intervention. Conclusion: Psychoeducational program about self-concept and knowledge of disorder can help significantly in decrease the symptoms of schizophrenia and improve self-concept among patients with schizophrenia. | ||||
