Effect of Progressive Relaxation Exercise on Psychological Symptoms and Mental Well-Being in Individuals With Schizophrenia
(Slack Inc, 2026) Isil, Ozlem; Tanriverdi, Omer
PURPOSE: The current study aimed to investigate the effects of a nurse-led progressive relaxation exercise (PRE) program on the severity of psychiatric symptoms and mental well-being in individuals with schizophrenia. METHOD: The study was conducted in three community mental health centers (CMHCs) in two provinces in the southeast and east Anatolia regions, using a quasiexperimental pre-/posttest control group design.The sample comprised individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia who regularly received health care services at a CMHC (N = 90; n = 45 in the intervention group, n = 45 in the control group) and met research criteria. RESULTS: PRE, delivered by psychiatric-mental health nurses (PMHNs), was found to effectively reduce psychiatric symptoms and increase mental well-being in individuals with schizophrenia. Mean pretest total score on the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale was 47.87 (SD = 18.61), whereas mean posttest total score was 39.22 (SD = 16.28). Mean pretest total score of the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale was 39.96 (SD = 10.67), whereas mean posttest total score was 50.42 (SD = 8.06); these differences were statistically significant (p < .05). CONCLUSION: According to results of the current study, PRE is recommended as an evidence-based, complementary treatment that can easily be integrated into the routine care of individuals with schizophrenia by PMHNs and other mental health professionals.

The Moderating Effect of Self-Efficacy in the Risk Awareness and Treatment Compliance of Hypertensive Patients
(Springernature, 2024) Soylu, Ayse; Tanriverdi, Omer
The WHO reported that 46% of adults with HT in the global statistics were unaware of the disease.The aim of this study was to examine the moderating role of self-efficacy in risk awareness and treatment compliance of hypertensive patients. Data for this descriptive and correlational study were collected between 22.08.2023 and 22.02.2024. A personal information form was used for data collection together with a risk awareness scale, self-efficacy scale, and antihypertensive treatment compliance scale. The data were collected from 169 patients in face-to-face intterviews. Multiple linear regression and PROCESS macro-Model vn.3.5 were used in the analyses. The STROBE control list was followed in the study. A moderate level of risk awareness (40.03 +/- 7.98) and self-awareness (56.11 +/- 10.18) of the study participants was determined, and there was seen to be treatment compliance (6.53 +/- 2.34). Risk awareness was seen to be positively correlated with both treatment compliance and self-efficacy (p < 0.05). The moderating effect of the treatment points between risk awareness and self-efficacy was analyzed and the model formed was found to be statistically significant (F = 1.942, p = 0.006). Independent variables in the model explained 28% of the change in the dependent variable. Self-efficacy points were not found to have a moderating effect on the effect of cardiovascular risk awareness on antihypertensive treatment compliance (p = 0.144). Treatment compliance can increase with an increase in the self-efficacy and risk awareness of an individual. Increased self-efficacy may affect the moderating role.
