Purpose: This research is conducted to evaluate the effect of assertiveness training in schizophrenic patients on functional remission and assertiveness level.
Design And Methods: The research is designed as a randomized controlled trial with a pretest and posttest control group and repeated measures. Assertiveness training was carried out for a total of 8 weeks with the experimental group.
Findings: Assertiveness training in schizophrenic patients was found to be effective in increasing the functional remission and assertiveness levels of patients.
Practice Implications: Assertiveness training in schizophrenia should be implemented by psychiatric nurses within the scope of rehabilitation services.
